Installing old Adobe CS6 apps on a modern Mac

Monday, June 24th, 2019

Adobe no longer has a public web page to download the DMG for their old CS6 apps. Fortunately, you can still get to them by logging into your Adobe account.

– Go to “Order History”
– Click on the Order Number for your product
– Click on the “Downloads and Serial Numbers” link
– Follow the “Download .dmg” link.

Download the DMG file and open it.

If you try to run “Install.app” it will fail with an error popup. Here’s how to get around that.

1. Open a Terminal window
2. cd /Volumes
3. cd into the directory for your product or bundle
4. cd Install.app/Contents/MacOS
5. ./Install

Cisco CSR 1000V “license boot level” broken

Tuesday, May 9th, 2017

So you’re trying to install a Cisco Cloud Services Router 1000V. You try to install the Evaluation license that you got from Cisco.

But the command doesn’t work. :(


router# conf t
router(config)# license boot level ax
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

Solution: At least in AWS, there are several different classes of CSR. Once of the discriminations is “License Included” vs. “Bring Your Own License (BYOL).”

You can only install an eval license on a BYOL version. You’re probably trying to install it on a “License Included” version.

Listing AWS IAM Permission Names by System

Tuesday, April 18th, 2017

A tiny shell script for listing the AWS IAM permission for a particular system, like “ec2” or “s3”.

Does not handle every possible case, as some URL paths are inconsistent. YMMV.

Example:


lap ~> iam-permissions ec2 | head -5
ec2:AcceptReservedInstancesExchangeQuote
ec2:AcceptVpcPeeringConnection
ec2:AllocateAddress
ec2:AllocateHosts
ec2:AssignPrivateIpAddresses

Script below…

Luminus directories: src/clj, src/cljs, src/cljc

Saturday, January 28th, 2017

When you use the lein plugin luminus to create a web application based on the Luminus Web Stack, it creates three directories under src: clj, cljs, and cljc.

What are these for?
