Adobe License Agreement every time

[gooberguy]

every time I open up an Adobe editing program (premiere, after effects) I always have to click yes to the License Agreement, any idea why it wont go away?

[aedipuss]

what version and what operating system?

CS4 and Win 7

32bit win7? that is strange. i have 3 winxp and 3 win7 installs that have never done that. if it weren't such a god awful task i'd say uninstall and re-install. but that is a hassle with adobe products.

the only thing i might try is to right click on the .exe file before starting one and go to properties and set it to run as admin. maybe it isn't able to write the update to not do the first run step.

Any ideas anyone? This gets super frustrating after a while. Even if i hit cancel it'll load up the program, so I dont know what is going on!

also, thanks aedipuss, but i am the administrator and uac is off.

running a program as admin is different than being the admin with an admin account. right click on the exe go to the compatibility tab check run as admin. on win7 it allows the program to make changes it wouldn't otherwise be allow to.

no guarantee, but worth a try. the next step is contact adobe support, they are pretty good about answering.

I would use CCleaner to clean out the temp files and fix the registry.

I have seen this with Adobe After Effects CS4 and Photoshop CS4 on Windows Vista.

Go to folder where Adobe product is installed and rename adobe_eula.dll to adobe_eula.old.
