I entered the serial and it works, but i failed to activate and asked me to activate through phone. Anyone can help with this? Thanks.
Well you can avoid it by stopping it from doing so.
Navigate to this folder on your computer: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc.
Look for the 'hosts' file, right click it and select 'Properties'.
Uncheck the 'Read Only' box and click 'OK'.
Double left click the 'hosts' file and select 'Choose a program to open this file'. Before choosing one make sure there is No tick in a box stating to 'Always open with this program'. If there is then un-tick it.
You need to select 'Notepad' and double left click it which will open the 'hosts' file in text. If notepad is not in the list the you can navigate to it here: C:\Windows.
On a new line after the last entry copy and paste the following list:
127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 practivate.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 ereg.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 activate.wip3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 wip3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 3dns-3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 3dns-2.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 adobe-dns.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 adobe-dns-2.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 adobe-dns-3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 ereg.wip3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 activate-sea.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 wwis-dubc1-vip60.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 activate-sjc0.adobe.com
It should look something like this:
# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 practivate.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 ereg.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 activate.wip3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 wip3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 3dns-3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 3dns-2.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 adobe-dns.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 adobe-dns-2.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 adobe-dns-3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 ereg.wip3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 activate-sea.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 wwis-dubc1-vip60.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 activate-sjc0.adobe.com
Click 'file', then 'save' to update and close the document.
Again right click the 'hosts' file, select 'Properties' and replace the 'Read Only' check and click 'OK'.
Close all windows and restart your computer and your done.
Also block it from the Firewall within Windows Control panel if still problematic by un-checking any Adobe related entries.
If you still have an issue open a free email account and post me your email address here and I'll send you a link to a solution. It is slightly more complicated though and the above should do the trick anyway.
Don't post your everyday personal email address on the site though, or any site for that matter as there is always the odd nut-job about who will think it funny to sign you up to 5000 Viagra news letters!
Please rate if this helped your issue.
