Licensing For This Product Has Stopped Working Cs4 Fix
has been on for days and hasn’t had any other problems. I really hadn’t done anything strange to break something. adobe photoshop elements error 150 30 And I’m sure I’d used an Adobe product yesterday. Rebooting, of course, didn’t fix anything. Looking for help on Adobe’s forum didn’t help. But Google did. I found a page that basically explained https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/error-licensing-stopped-mac-os.html how to hack around Adobe’s activation. I didn’t need to go that far, since I actually have a legal license. But part of the “how to steal CS4” post did help. All I had to do was get Adobe’s Licensing Repair tool here. I ran that and it worked immediately. No reboot needed. I’m thinking I got lucky. I just noticed that this process dumped a http://oldblog.erikphansen.com/adobe-cs4-error-15030-aka-i-hate-adobe-reason-34/ folder named AdobeLicensingFilesBackup into my Home folder. So, be aware of that. Update: Saturday, August 1, 2009 I see that this simply isn’t working for some people, but it looks like it still works for others. I don’t have an explanation for this. All I know is that it worked for me so I thought I’d share it with the world. I know that a fair number of people are landing on this page every day and would love to hear from those who it does work for, so I know that this tip is still useful. Update: Monday, August 31, 2009 - Try deleting the FLEXnet Publisher folder One of the replies below, from Simon, pointed out that you might need to delete the following folder for things to work again: /Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher That’s worked for a few people out there, so give it a shot before you throw in the towel. Update: Wednesday, September 9, 2009 From Rob B. in the comments below: The Flexnet Publisher folder must be deleted. Not JUST the flexnet folder inside. ALONG WITH THIS the Adobe PCD.cache file must be deleted also. It is located in library/application support/adobe/adobe PCD/

This will perfom the steps suggested by Erik's Brain and Jake's Computer Blog. After completing these steps, you will need to re-enter your serial number, and CS4 will work again. Be aware that this is not a crack! You will need a valid serial number. If this doesn't work for you: let me know check if Adobe's Liscense Recovery tool was updated to a version other than 11.6.1 and if so, modify this script accordingly, then let me know check if you are using a Mac and if not, follow the advice given here. remember that this is not a crack, you will need a valid serial number 84 comments Share on Twitter, Facebook, Delicious, Digg, Reddit 84 comments This worked as d
