Acrobat 9 or CS4 Products Did Not Install FNP Licensing Service VISTA FIX

I recently ran into an error on Adobe Acrobat 9 which I have not seen before. After some research there seems to be quite a lot of people who have had this same problem, but no good fix yet. However, there have been a few fixes for Acrobat 8.

THE PROBLEM:

Upon installation of Acrobat 9 on a Vista workstation, the licensing service (FLEXnet) never installs.The error we are trying to fix looks similar to “Licensing for this product has stopped working”.

THE SOLUTION:

You’ll see from the following steps that these tools are actually for Acrobat 8, but they do fix Acrobat 9. First, download the Acrobat 8 Licensing Service Fix: CLICK HERE

Follow the directions and install. Then restart.

Next, run the Adobe Licensing Repair Tool. CLICK HERE

Download and follow directions. A good restart after everything should get the licensing set back up again.

HOW TO TEST IF EVERYTHING WAS SUCCESSFUL:

Goto start>run and type in services.msc – about half way down you’ll see a service called FLEXnet Licensing Service and it should be running. If you don’t see this service, you’re back to step one. Good luck!

.htaccess – Redirect Everyone But You

Lets begin with the basics. Create a text file and name it .htaccess . Then, lets add some text:

Options +FollowSymlinks
Rewrite Engine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI] !/maintenance.html$

RewriteRule $ /maintenance.html [R=302,L]

Save your file and lets upload it to the root directory. In other words, it should appear here: www.yourwebsite.com/.htaccess

Once its been uploaded whenever you go to the website it should automatically redirect you and everybody else to maintenance.html. If this page doesn’t exist, you’ll get an error but this is only the test. Once we know the file is working, lets add this extra line right after the REQUEST_URI line:

RewriteCond %[REMOTE_HOST] !^12\.34\.56\.78

Of course you would replace the IP with your own (find it at www.ipchicken.com ). Save the file and reupload it. It should now look like the following:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/maintenance.html$
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !^12\.34\.56\.78

RewriteRule $ /maintenance.html [R=302,L]

It’s as simple as that. If you want to allow more than one IP, you can just duplicate the REMOTE_HOST line as many times as you want with your new IP addresses. Upload to the root directory and you’re good to go! Good luck!
