Hello everyone.

I'm trying to backup an original disc(s) of Adobe Creative Suite which we have at work, and I wanted to create a copy of it since normally, the original copy floats around our office and at some point, noone would know where it is. I would hate for our original to get lost, therefore, we'd rather have a copy of it for our employees to use if they ever need to reinstall the softwares.

I know Adobe might have placed a copy protection on their discs since trying to back it up with disk utility was unsuccessful, and so is trying to copy it with Nero on a PC, giving a read error during 92% of the process.

I was wondering if there's any softwares out there that can do the job. I have tried various PC softwares like Nero, CloneCD, and I forget what else, and also Impression and Disk Utility for Mac, and were all unsuccessful.

Any recommendations out there? Thanks.

I just copy the disc to the HD and burn to a new CD-R.

Works like a charm. There is no copy protection on the CD. It's not hard for them to tell if you stole the HD with the serial number.

Agree.

Use Disk Utility to Make a .dmg of each, then burn each .dmg to a cd-r.

Or, as one of my colleagues did…if you have a DVD burner, just burn all the .dmgs to a DVD and you can mount them all from it when you need to do an install.

Cake.
