I am having issues with the Adobe Provisioning Tool for Acrobat X. I have followed the JAMF Guide to the T. Created the Package for Acrobat X, uploaded and configured it in the JSS. The installer works fine via a triggered every 5, Self Service etc. My problem appears to be with the Provisioning Tool. Here is the syntax of the required Shell Script:
#!/bin/sh
#
#
#Serialize Acrobat
"/Library/Application Support/JAMF/adobe_provisioning_tool.app/Contents/MacOS/adobe_provisioning_tool" –C –a "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat 10 AMT/AMT" –s XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
#
#Suppress EULA
"/Library/Application Support/JAMF/adobe_provisioning_tool.app/Contents/MacOS/adobe_provisioning_tool" –S –a "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat 10 AMT/AMT"
#
#Suppress Adobe ID Dialog
"/Library/Application Support/JAMF/adobe_provisioning_tool.app/Contents/MacOS/adobe_provisioning_tool" –R –a "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat 10 AMT/AMT"



When I create the policy to install the Provisioning Tool and run the Script I get NO errors. However, when I test Acrobat Pro afterwards it is still unlicensed. Below is the Log FIle from the Test Client:

So it appears that everything is running Ok other then the intended results are not invoked.



Thank you in advance for help,

Some folks overlook this line: "The caller is expected to pass the clear serial number w/o any dashes ('-')."



Have you made sure you're entering your serial number without the dashes?

No Dashes, just the 24 digit serial.
Shane

Did you find a resolution to this?

I never did get this working right. Shortly after posting, we moved to the Full CS6 suite which included Acrobat Pro. I used AAMEE to create the installer and Serialization. I may have to re-address this soon though for non-CS6 users.

Thanks Shane. For anybody out there in my scenario where we aren't ready to upgrade, I can confirm this script (cited at bottom) from GitHub worked for me.



I modified it for use with Casper, so please feel free to copy:



#!/bin/bash



# Insert your serial number in this function (after the -s)

serializeAcrobat()

{

    "/Library/Application Support/JAMF/adobe_provisioning_tool.app/Contents/MacOS/adobe_provisioning_tool" -C -a "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat 10 AMT/AMT" -s 123456789123456789123456

    if (test $? = 0) then

        echo "Acrobat X serialized."

    else

        echo "ERROR: Acrobat X serialization failed."

    fi

}



suppressAcrobatEULA()    

{

    "/Library/Application Support/JAMF/adobe_provisioning_tool.app/Contents/MacOS/adobe_provisioning_tool" -S -a "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat 10 AMT/AMT"

    if (test $? = 0) then

        echo "Acrobat X EULA suppressed."

    else

        echo "ERROR: Acrobat X EULA suppression failed."

    fi

}



suppressAdobeIDDialog()    

{

    "/Library/Application Support/JAMF/adobe_provisioning_tool.app/Contents/MacOS/adobe_provisioning_tool" -R -a "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat 10 AMT/AMT"

    if (test $? = 0) then

        echo "Acrobat X Adobe ID suppressed."

    else

        echo "ERROR: Acrobat X Adobe ID suppression failed."

    fi

}



serializeAcrobat

suppressAcrobatEULA

suppressAdobeIDDialog



exit 0
