We have been experiencing the activation issues above, which we resolved with the activation script run post imaging.
We have recently seen apparent corruption in Photoshop CC when this same image is deployed to dissimilar (Older and with less RAM) iMacs. The symptoms are frequent "Out of memory" errors that cause Photoshop to freeze when doing very basic tasks (including creating new files accessing basic menu options) and "Unable to parse JPEG data" errors when a jpeg is dropped onto a Photoshop file. These errors do not occur 100% of the time but do happen frequently.
If I install CC with the same installer onto a clean Mountain Lion installation on these machines the problems do not seem to occur. If I copy the entire Photoshop folder from a functional machine to a machine that is experiencing the problems it does not fix the issue. Neither does resetting the PS preferences.
These images are captured and deployed via DeployStudio. Is anyone else seeing this issue? Any suggestions?
