if you read it it says to open the Flex folder and change the name. I did that and the apps work but I was not asked for the serial number again. I was in in 10.4.11 and just upgraded to 10.5.4 could that have caused this as I was running fine before.

Error: "The licensing subsystem has failed catastrophically." when you start a Creative Suite 3.x application

Help with error: "AMT Subsystem Failure. The licensing subsystem has failed catastrophically..."

I did a system restore to a previous date to resolve a conflict with a beta license of PSD CS5. I am a software tester and my boss gave me
a CS5 beta. Now, the beta CS5 is uninstalled but when I open CS3, I get this error:
"AMT Subsystem Failure. The licensing subsystem has failed
catastrophically. Please reinstall or call support."
My copy of CS3 was licensed to a company which has since shut down for business; I do not have any CS3
reinstall disc.
I restored to a date prior to my installation of the CS5 beta. I ensured that
there are no CS5 files on my computer, and that the CS
3 folder *looks* unchanged. I have tried restoring to another restore point
date, and I got the same error. I cannot repair my CS3 install without a CS3 install disc.
The CS5 beta now will not install either. This CS5 beta is working fine on the work computer which is comparable to my laptop with this problem.
Now I have no working license of PSD. Please advise. Adobe support advised me to ask here. Yay.
Operating System: Windows Vista 32 bit

Huh? What help do you hope to get on a public user to user forum about Beta software (aside from the fact that in doing so, you broke the rules and spirit of the NDA)? Ask your prerelease program manager and use the respective non-public forums. The rest is beside the point - if you don't have backups of your installers, then you probably never really owned it and should long have deactivated it, because the package was sold to some unfortunate soul who doesn't even know that he's missing an activation (which you used all the time).

I have Creative Suite 3 Master Collection. Am trying to install Photoshop CS4 upgrade. It will not accept any of the serial numbers from my Creative Suite 3 Master Collection. The upgrade is for Photoshop CS 4 only

Need help installing Photoshop CS4 upgrade. I have Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection installed on my computer. When trying to install Photoshop CS 4 upgrade. I am ask for serial number of Photoshop CW, CS2, & CS3 I put in the serial number from my Creative Suite 3 Master Collection. None of which are accepted. What do I need to do to accomplish upgrade?

When you purchase a Creative Suite collection, you can't run an upgrade on an individual product within the Suite. You have to upgrade the entire collection.
You could purchase a copy of Photoshop CS6, or a subscription to Photoshop which can be as little as $9.99 with the Photography plan to the Creative Suite.
Adobe no longer sells upgrades to CS3 or CS4.

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot believe this!. I followed the instructions here http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb402004&sliceId=1
the first two solutions did not work now i'm repairing permissions. If that doesn't work and i have to reinstall the whole Suite I need to make sure my preferences for each will remain the same. How do I do that without overriding the prefs and I loose all my settings!

When trying to launch Acrobat 9.0 from Creative Suite 4 it gives the error:" the Licensing subsystem has failed catastrophically" AMT subsystem failure

Tried all the steps from the Knowldege base and ran the Clean script CS4but still the issue persists, installed the License Recovery Tool still the same problem

Time to call techcnial support. They handle installation issues.

Can't open my Creative Suite 6 Master Collection

I have Creative Suite 6 Master Collection. I think I must have trialled Creative Cloud at some point. Recently, on opening, say, InDesign or Photoshop, I'm getting a menu asking me if I wish to continue with my trial or Licence this software. I had been able to quit this menu, at which point my file would open. Not now and on quitting, the whole programme quits. So I went on to "licence this software" -- which I own. It appeared to recognise me and asked for my serial number which I entered. The programme went on to open but both InDesign and Photoshop hang before any files actually opens. I can't afford Creative Cloud and want to work "offline" (though, of course, having access to the help info about the programmes as usual). Chat couldn't help with this problem. PLEASE help! I'm trying to finish a piece of work today!
Don't know if this is the right community!
Thanks in anticipation.

I want to purchase the Adobe Creative Suite cs6 master collection. How much will it be? and how do you purchase it?

Hi,
I want to purchase the Adobe Creative Suite CS6 master collection (not the creative cloud) that contains Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Adobe Bridge, Dreamweaver, Flash, After effects, Adobe Premiere Pro.. etc. and I think this is the bundle that I'm looking for.
I want to know how much would it cost, and how would I purchase the Adobe cs6 softwares (from a store or online)?
I prefer to have the actual CD/DVD of the adobe cs6 bundle, would that be possible?
or do you have to download it online and get the serial number online too?
Thank you

Hi. I am running Windows 8.1 on a 64 bit Toshiba Satellite P70-A laptop with 16Gb of RAM. I have installed Adobe Creative Suite 6 - Master Collection. All is fine except for Adobe Acrobat X. It runs OK for a while, but then suddenly it won't work. I uninstall it, re-boot and re-install again, bit the same process repeats itself and once again I have to uninstall and re-install again. I don't know if windows update interferes with it? Has anyone else had a similar problem? Is it fixable?

I think you'd be much better off asking in the Acrobar forum, Acrobat

Does Creative Suite cs6 Master Collection V6 Windows work with Windows 8 OS

I would like to purchase the Creative suite cs6 master collection V6 for windows, will this software work with windows 8 operating system. In system requirements it only state's windows 7 but I have heard that some software will still work with windows 8 also. Does anyone know if it will work with windows 8? I would like to confirm this before I order, as it is rather an expensive program.

Here is an Adobe page that gives info on this Windows 8.1 compatibility FAQs | CC, CS6, Acrobat

I have a question : Someone want sell me Creative Suite 6 MAster Collection, He is gave me the key and want me to fill in the transfer document from adobe? If I accept and pay him for this do I be eligble to use this software in company ? He is offering me full version of the product. How Can I check it ?

There is no reason to do that. You can buy a legitimate copy of the product from Adobe.
If the price is too good to be true, it's too good to be true. Caveat emptor.

Selective installation with Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master Collection applications

I am planning to purchase the Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master Collection. I don't want to install all the applications in the suite right now due to hardware limitations. Is it possible to select some applications during installation (just enough that my hardware can support) and leave out the rest for installation later when I upgrade my hardware? Thank you

Should be okay for all but the most demand apps. Don't expect miracles though.
Again, though, please be careful with bargain software. Anything more than about 5-10% off the list price is likely to be illegally pirated or stolen software.

Under this address, CC has been purchased in July 21st, 2014, that is the reason it is not allowing further purchase as under one Adobe ID, only one subscription of CC( Individual, single app, Team) can be activated & used.
