Basic Installation

  1. To install, you will need to send Adobe the MAC address of the computer(s) where Scene 7 is being installed. 
  2. On the Windows machine where Scene 7 is to be installed, open the Command Line application and type ipconfig /all – take screenshots of the results.
  3. Open a ticket in the Adobe Admin Console with the screenshot(s), asking for a new license file. Make sure to specify the number of systems represented by the screenshot.
  4. Convert the text files they provide to *.reg and import them to the system registry.
  5. Install the software as you would normally.
  6. If the license files are correct, they will appear in the licensing step of the installer.

When in doubt or faced with an issue with Scene7, try to arrange a call with Adobe. Issues are resolved much more quickly over a call than over email.

Installing the Test Pattern

  1. During my training, Adobe provided me with a handy test pattern to help with alignment. You can download this test pattern from here.
  2. With a *.vnt file open, click on the Render icon
  3. Click on the + icon.
  4. Browse and select the test pattern file from your local environment.
  5. Click on the Materials History icon . The preview texture should appear in the list located below the icons. Right-click and select “Use As Preview Texture.”
  6. From now on, the Scene 7 Vignette Authoring Tool will automatically use this texture as your default test pattern.
