Does anyone know how to detect if Creative Cloud Desktop Application is currently signed in?

[tnielsen]

Title says it all, I want to create an Extension Attribute that let's me know if users are signed into the Creative Cloud Desktop application.

I can't seem to find anything that would indicate it's signed in, with FSMonitor... still hunting. Any help appreciated.

kabam, enjoy boys!

This script depends on the CCX Process.log being there. There are some instance where I have seen it not be created right away. Anyway, should work well enough to give me an idea.

#!/bin/bash

currentUser=$(ls -l /dev/console | awk '{print $3}')
userHome=$(dscl . read /Users/$currentUser NFSHomeDirectory | awk '{print $2}')
TodaysDate=`date "+%s"`

#CCX Process.log location
logloc="$userHome/Library/Logs/CreativeCloud/CCX Welcome/CCX Process.log"

#check if open
if pgrep "Creative Cloud"; then
    ccOpen="is open."
else
    ccOpen="is not open."
fi

#check if signed in recently
IFS=$'
'
SignIns=()
if [ -f $logloc ]; then
    SignIns=($(cat $logloc | grep "ACCC Sign-on State: signin_success" | awk '{print $2,$3,$4}' | awk 'BEGIN{ RS = "" ; FS = "
" }{print $0}'))
    if [ -z $SignIns ]; then
        Echo "<result>Not Signed In Successfully and CCDA $ccOpen</result>"
        exit 0
    fi
    #if the sign in was less than 90 days ago we will consider it a success.
    for x in ${SignIns[@]}; do
        SignInEpoch=$(date -jf '%b %d %Y' $x +%s)
        Difference=`expr $SignInEpoch - $TodaysDate`
        NumOfDaysSinceSignIn=`expr $Difference / 86400`
        if [ $NumOfDaysSinceSignIn -le 30 ]; then
            echo "<result>Signed in $NumOfDaysSinceSignIn days ago.  CCDA is $ccOpen</result>"
            exit 0
        fi
    done
    echo "<result>Signed in but not in the last 30 days.  CCDA $ccOpen</result>"
else
    echo "<result>CCX Process.log does not exist and CCDA $ccOpen</result>"
fi

This is helpful! We have a mix of Volume and Subscription, so I look at the swidtag to see what kind of license the machine is using

#!/bin/sh

# Adobe SWID file
adobeFile="/Library/Application Support/regid.1986-12.com.adobe/regid.1986-12.com.adobe_V7{}CreativeCloudEnt-1.0-Mac-GM-MUL.swidtag"

################################
# Get the username of the logged in user
loggedInUser=$( scutil <<< "show State:/Users/ConsoleUser" | awk -F': ' '/[[:space:]]+Name[[:space:]]:/ { if ( $2 != "loginwindow" ) { print $2 }}' )

# Make sure someone is logged in
if [[ -z "$loggedInUser" ]]; then
    echo "No one logged in"
    exit 1
fi

## See if file is actually present, if it is, result is echod. Else, result shows TYPE:loggedInUser
if [[ ! -f "$adobeFile" ]]; then
    result="ASU Creative Cloud Not Installed"
else
    ## Find channel type
    # VOLUME == Full installer      
    # SUBSCRIPTION == named-user        
    # UNKNOWN == uninstalled or other error
    channel_type=$(xmllint --xpath "//*[local-name()='license_linkage']/*[local-name()='channel_type']" "$adobeFile" 
        | sed -e 's/<swid:channel_type>//;s/</swid:channel_type>//')
    if [[ "$channel_type" =~ "VOLUME" || "$channel_type" =~ "SUBSCRIPTION" ]]; then
        result=$channel_type:$loggedInUser
        echo $result
    elif [[ "$channel_type" =~ "UNKNOWN" ]]; then
        result="ASU Creative Cloud uninstalled"
        echo $result
    else
        result="ASU Creative Cloud error"
        echo $result
    fi
fi

A python man, eh. I can't get myself to make the switch to learn it. Yours is useful too. Thanks, I'll take a look into this tomorrow. Maybe a combo of two will be best.
