For all the users who have faced a problem where Acrobat did not launch after 30 days of serializing with a suite serial number, please execute the following workaround:

1. Make sure you are connected to the internet.
2. Launch a regular  CS6 product other than Acrobat or Flash Builder (for example: Photoshop, After Effects, Premier Pro, InDesign, Flash Professional, Illustrator, Dreamweaver.)
3. Click on Help->Deactivate .
4. Deactivate the application. Quit application.
5. Launch a regular  CS6 product other than Acrobat or Flash Builder (for example: Photoshop, After Effects, Premier Pro, InDesign, Flash Professional, Illustrator, Dreamweaver.)
6. Accept Eula.
7. Register trial by signing in. Let the app launch.
8. Quit and relaunch the app. Wait for UI to come.
9. Click on License This Software button on the UI.
10. Click on Sign in .
11. Serial number screen will come
12. Enter the serial number in the serial number screen and click Next.
13. Quit app and relaunch the app while connected on the internet .

After this if you launch Acrobat it will launch and run forever without trouble. In case you still face a problem , try relaunching the other CS6 app once more and then launch Acrobat.

Map network drive with logon vbs script

I am using Windows 7, 64 bit

The vbs script to map a network drive as logon script does not work.

Manually executing the script does work!

The script is started with Local Group Policy
-gpedit.msc
-User Configuration
-Windows Settings
-Logon
-Scripts

The script is
----------------------------------------------------------
' Map network drive script
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "T:" , "\\server\drive"
-----------------------------------------------------------
More information see

Resolution:

Change or create a value in the registry.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
Here you want to create a DWORD entry named "EnableLinkedConnections" and set
the value to 1
Reboot for the changes to take effect.
