The Mac OS X firewall is disabled after you install Creative Suite 3Products affected

Issue

After you install AdobeCreative Suite 3, the Mac OS X firewall is turned off.

Reason

During the installation, the Adobe installer sets up controlled access to the Version Cue CS3 Server through specific ports in the personal firewall. To be granted access to these ports, the installer first turns off the personal firewall. After the installation is complete, the Adobe installer does not automatically re-activate the firewall.

Solution

Turn the firewall back on.
  1. From the Apple menu, select System Preferences
  2. Click the Sharing icon and then click the Firewall tab
  3. Click Start.
