Next, let's look at the information given about an FRL Isolated license. License files for npdId: NzBjZmVlYWItNzc2Ni00ZTNiLTk4NjQtNjczYjc5ZDM2ZGRk: (You may notice that the install dates don't match the order in which the files are listed: that's because the listings are always sorted by Application ID, but the adobe-licensing-toolkit installation is done in the order the app entries happen to appear in the preconditioning file.) The install date is important, because on a machine that has multiple packages installed, and thus has multiple license files of the same precedence for the same application, it's the most recently installed license file that will be used by the app when it launches. Then it shows the license-file-specific info for each of the licenses that are installed, giving the filename of the relevant operating configuration file (elided so it doesn't repeat the npdId segment of the filename each time), the specific application that license file is for, and the install date of the license file. Since all the license files are for the same package, it still groups the package-specific information at the top of the list (but notice it now says "License files for" instead of "Preconditioning data for"). Then we could run the decoder with no arguments, and it would find the installed operating config files (as shown in the run below). $ sudo adobe-licensing-toolkit -p -i -f online-default-allapps/ngl-preconditioning-data.json It's like a "secret decoder ring" for the licenses! This tool can examine globally-installed SDL and FRL license files and tell you which apps they are for, which packages they are from, when they were installed, when they expire, and so on. While this information is invaluable, it's specific to the user account it is run in, and it doesn't give any general information about the licenses that are installed on the machine that haven't been used.Įnter the adobe-license-decoder, a different command-line tool that can tell you about FRL and SDL license files both before and after installation. if activated, what the expiration date is of the license.whether the license is activated for the given user and.the so-called "npdId" (also known as the "package id") of the license.This tool runs on client machines in the context of a particular user account and provides information about the state of FRL and SDL licenses that are installed on the machine, including: There are resellers out there which sell boxed copies of CS6 with license keys, however they're very expensive.Anyone who has worked with FRL or SDL licensing is familiar with the adobe-licensing-toolkit command-line tool for Mac and Windows. Still using Encore CS6 pretty much weekly here -) This only works on Windows unfortunately! Also if you ever log out of that CC account on that system it will stop working and you'll need to wipe CS6 off the system with the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool and reinstall it - so back up the installer file. The MPEG2 DVD, BluRay, and h.264 BluRay export presets in the current versions of CC still work with Encore, including chapter points. You can ignore the error message about QuickTime when running it, as long as you don't need to import any. You'll also need Photoshop CS6 for menu design. That will let you install and use Encore. If you have a valid CC account (I believe even a trial!) and can locate an installer for the CS6 Master Collection trial from somewhere (wink wink,) make sure you're logged into the Creative Cloud app and select 'I have an account' when installing and insert your CC credentials.
