+Activation of Adobe Photoshop® and Other Products Using FLEXnet Publisher® / SafeCast

+
+Note: The issue described below does +not affect you if you use a non-cascade encryption algorithm (i.e., AES, Serpent, or Twofish).* The issue also does +not affect you if you do not use +system encryption (pre-boot authentication).
+
+Acresso FLEXnet Publisher activation software, formerly Macrovision SafeCast, (used for activation of third-party software, such as Adobe Photoshop) writes data to the first drive track. If this happens when your system partition/drive is encrypted by VeraCrypt, + a portion of the VeraCrypt Boot Loader will be damaged and you will not be able to start Windows. In that case, please use your + +VeraCrypt Rescue Disk to regain access to your system. There are two ways to do so:
+
    +
  1. +You may keep the third-party software activated but you will need to boot your system from the VeraCrypt Rescue Disk CD/DVD +every time. Just insert your Rescue Disk into your CD/DVD drive and then enter your password in the Rescue Disk screen. +
  2. +If you do not want to boot your system from the VeraCrypt Rescue Disk CD/DVD every time, you can restore the VeraCrypt Boot Loader on the system drive. To do so, in the Rescue Disk screen, select +Repair Options > +Restore VeraCrypt Boot Loader. However, note that this will deactivate the third-party software. +
+
+For information on how to use your VeraCrypt Rescue Disk, please see the chapter +VeraCrypt Rescue Disk.
+
+Possible permanent solution: decrypt the system partition/drive, and then re-encrypt it using a non-cascade encryption algorithm (i.e., AES, Serpent, or Twofish).*
+
+Please note that this not a bug in VeraCrypt (the issue is caused by inappropriate design of the third-party activation software).
+

 

+
+

* The reason is that the VeraCrypt Boot Loader is smaller than the one used for cascades of ciphers and, therefore, there is enough space in the first drive track for a backup of the VeraCrypt + Boot Loader. Hence, whenever the VeraCrypt Boot Loader is damaged, its backup copy is run automatically instead.
