I want to know this too. It's pretty annoying.

Our company block access to it via firewall and does not want it used for security reasons.
It would be great to remove it and stop all the questions and free up the space without resorting to custom workspaces at launch
Is this certain that it can not be removed?

No, it is actually the presence of the button. It would stop all the questions and help requests. This is just a test rollout we are doing and this is taking up too much help desk time. The other sites have many more users. If we can deploy with no button, it would not be an issue. I'd like to disable the entire functionality of CS Live and remove it from the menu as well.
Any ideas?

Just rename "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\CS5ServiceManager" for example to "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\CS5ServiceManager.bak"

You can find the same folder under "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CS5ServiceManager"
And in PS, you need to disable it under Preference->Plug-ins

I tried following these steps, so I changed the FOLDER name to .bak at the end and it just created a new folder. Did I change the wrong thing? I looked through all the folders in the CS5.5ServiceManager folder and didn't see an actual file with that name, so I figured the folder is what needed to be changed. Can someone give me a few more hints? ...also, doing a search found 0 results. I'm on Mac OS X 10.6 (Mac Pro 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon)

This is perfect. Thanks.
Perhaps Adobe should have a little humility and, since their programming model is to run pretty much their entire set of programs as frameworks that run plugins, just make sure to give the user the easy, accessible opportunity to remove the more ridiculous items of their feature sets. I mean really, "let's put a big, grotesque button for a feature only some people will use occasionally." Seriously.

Just note that renaming this will disable the CSLive button, as well as the following:
It will also disrupt functionality of Adobe Drive.

The CS5ServiceManager and CS Live are in no way related to our licensing/activation technologies.

Excellent - I've done this too. Would have been so much easier if Adobe had allowed it to be turned off via the interface or Preferences

How do I place another vote for the option to completely remove
all entries of CS-Live-Service from CS5-application-GUIs.
