Anyone able to deploy CS4 and CS5 together at imaging time?

Null Set.

CS4, CS5, working Mac.

Pick 2.

i install CS2, CS3, CS4 and CS5 all during imaging time. my macs work. i havent dont anything special and for cs3, 4 and 5 i use the "JAMF best practice"


Haha...I wish I could tell these departments that. :) These folks are getting new computers, but don't want to let go of CS4.

I suspect there may be an issue with the CS4 images that are in JSS. I'll redo them and give this another shot. If this doesn't fix things, I'll redo CS5 as well (with AAMEE).

Thanks,
Don

May not help much but it can add fuel to your argument to let go of

As interpreted by our Sourcing folks, our Adobe volume license agreement
allows us to purchase a Creative Suite license or individual application
license and then allow us to install either the current version of the
product or an older version of the product. However, if we want to run two
versions of the product on one machine then we must have two licenses.

This restriction would be for volume licenses only and not retail. I have
no idea if some volume license agreements do allow for one license to
cover multiple versions on the same machine.

When our groups are faced with having to incur the cost of a second or
even third license (some want to run CS5, CS4 and CS3 or more) for each
machine then they really have to think about whether or not they need it.

Hi William,

In production environments, it's very common to run concurrent versions - I wouldn't take on any argument to try to convince production managers/directors to cut over. I worked side by side with many of them in the sweat shop...er...in the service bureau many years ago (late 80's through 90's). :)

Never had a problem getting written approval from Adobe to install concurrent versions of their suites, or even their font libraries. You'd be surprised how effective it can be for client legal and Adobe legal to spend a few minutes on the phone. :)
