My Photoshop CS4 has stopped working - Error 148:3 (Licensing has stopped working).....help!

My Photoshop CS4 has stopped working - Error 148:3 (Licensing has stopped working).....help please?
I've not changed anything since the last time I used it but it's just refusing to work.

Ed,
It seems that there might be some gremlin in the licensing module. The PS CS4 board has several similar instances. I do not know exactly what the problem is, but this should be an easy reset by Adobe. It has worked for the PS users and requires one free telephone call. I am with Harm on this. I doubt that many, if any, users can be of much help. The installation issues *used* to be simple and quick, but I have not had to make that call, since Illustrator 3. Have your S/N handy. If you purchased from the Adobe Store, a receipt # might come in handy too. Once your product has been verified, you'll probably be asked to enter a key, and away you go.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Mac, have just upgraded to Yosemite and when I shall open Photoshop (CS4), the following message appears: "The licensing of the product does not work" Fault 6 How should I proceed? Have the program installed on only one computer.

    Mac, have just upgraded to Yosemite and when I shall open Photoshop (CS4), the following message appears:
    "The licensing of the product does not work"
    Fault 6
    How should I proceed?
    Have the program installed on only one computer.

    Download the Adobe Licensing Repair Tool.
    Run the License Service Update.
    Mac OS X 10.7 and above:
    a. Double-click the LicenseRecovery111.dmg   It will extract the folder. Open the folder.
    b. Double-click your Hard Drive.
    c. Double-click Applications.
    d. Double-click Utilities.
    e. Double-click Terminal.
    f. Type sudo python
    Note: There is a space following “python”. Do not press Return.
    g. Drag LicenseRecover.py from the LicenseRecovery111 folder onto the Terminal Window and press Return.
    It should look like this:
    h. Enter your administrator user name and password when prompted and click OK.
    (Note: the cursor will not move and you will not see stars or dots, just enter your password anyway.
    i. Let the script run, it will tell you when it is finished. Quit terminal and restart Photoshop

  • Design Premium CS4 stopped working: error 148:3

    Thanks,

    You have not provided any system information, so we can't advise specifically. This is a licensing error and the standard "cure" is to reinstall the software properly.

  • Photoshop CS4 Trial version install error

    Hello. I've downloaded the trial version of Photoshop CS4 Extended.
    When I click the setup.exe it starts running and works until it reaches the loading setup menu.
    Then a error pops up.
    The title of the message box is "Windows Internet Explorer" and the message is "Critical errors were found in setup." And it also said to look in the setup log.
    The log file contained this message " FATAL
    Critical errors were found in setup
    TypeError:'undefined' is null or not an object"
    I'm using XP (SP3) and my computer is well above the minimum requirements.
    Does anyone know why this is occurring?

    What other software is on your system? What version of Internet Explorer? The error you describe sounds like you never bothered to update IE and thus the proper mechanisms for running and displaying the install screens are not in place. If automatic update does not offer the respective options, I recommend downloading the standalone installer for IE7 (or even the IE8 Beta) as well as double-checking whether your .NET runtime 1.1 is also in place. The latter should only be required on Vista, but even on XP it has the positive sideeffect of fixing a few broken DLL connections/ assignments, so it may be just what you need.

  • I am trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended and an error occurs.

    I am trying to install the above program and Error 30: The system cannot read from the specified device.  My DVD drive works so I don't understand why it is not finishing the install.  Then on my programs it says that I have Adobe Photoshop CS4.  Any ideas?

    This may do better posted in the Photoshop forum.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS4 English Language Pack Error: Error 2.

    I've read another post indicating this error upon install of CS4. Many of the factors described do not fit my scenario, so I thought I'd post this again.
    Basically, I have Win XP SP3 all updates applied. Minimal services running. No software firewall. Everything installed just fine from Production Premium CS4 EXCEPT Photoshop. Error shown in subject line of this post is issued by installer.
    Photoshop won't boot stating it is missing files from it's folder.
    Wazzup?

    OK. This error drove me nuts and I have seen a thousand different "solutions" posted on various forums (none of which actually worked), but I think I found the magic bullet for this problem. This appears to be a result of corrupted/missing language pack files. Here's what I did to resolve it once and for all!
    You should already have a folder somewhere with the contents/Setup.exe for CS4 Design Premium
    Download the trial version of Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended
    Unpack the contents to a folder/directory somewhere on your PC
    You will NOT be installing the Photoshop CS4 Extended application - only copying some files.
    Copy the "extensions" folder from Photoshop CS4 Extended, that you just downloaded to your CS4 Design Premium folder (there should be an "extensions" folder already there as well)
    Select yes if prompted to replace existing files/folders.
    Double-click the Setup.exe in your CS4 Design Premium directory and re-start the installation of Photoshop from there.
    Problem should be solved.

  • 64 Bit Photoshop CS4 running on 64 Bit WIndows 7 - does it work for anyone?

    Hi,
    Is anyone running 64 BI Photoshop CS4 running on 64 Bit WIndows 7 without any problems?   Mine is totally unusable due to wild erratic brushes (clone, healing, eraser and more).  I have had zero success with Adobe.  Two weeks after posting a support incident, they finally responded with an answer that had absoutley nothing to do with my support ticket.  Unbelievable.  SO maybe I'll get another response in 2 more weeks.
    I have another thread that explains my problems, but that is not the purpose of this post. For this I am interested in what configurations people are using with 64 bit CS4 and 64 bit Windows 7, especially, what graphics cards are you using in the situations where there are no problems.  I will even buy new graphics cards, because I have to.  I cannot work as is.
    Is anyone using dual graphics cards successfully with 64 bit Win 7 and 64 bit CS4.  if so, what cards?
    Thanks

    PS CS4 does not support dual cards (or dual GPU cards) so the other card in the case is not being used.
    Set up is simple:
    M4A79T delux MB
    8 gigs of corsair dominator ram timings 8,8,8,24 2T CMD4GX3M2B1600C8
    AMD 965 Quad 140 watt
    ATI 5870 with 9.11 drivers
    PS CS4 Extended 11.0.1 update
    Simple USB keyboard
    MS Comfort Optical 3000 mouse
    Windows 7 professional 64 bit plus updates. Aero turned on.

  • Float images in photoshop cs4 - edit preferences untick open doc as tab doesnt work

    Hi, i have read about floating all images in windows on the forums and i have tried unticking the open documents as tabs in the edit preferences - interface section and it doesnt work, my hand is really starting to hurt, i dont know why this isnt working ?

    If you drag the files to the margins (e.g., near the menu bar) of Photoshop CS4 (11.0.2), and not to the workspace, they will actually open as windows.
    It'll actually do the expected thing in CS5 (i.e., open as Window) even if you drag the file to the workspace - in other words they finally fixed that bug.
    Kind of a shame Adobe doesn't think blatantly wrong stuff like the "drag to workspace always opens a tabbed view" bug is important enough to fix in maintenance releases for older products.

  • Error: "This license has already been fulfilled....."

    This past week I updated my iPad to the new IOS7 software. Immediately after doing so, I tried to download a book through Overdrive...software used by most libraries.  Unfortunately, two problems occurred.  The Overdrive sofware was not compatible with IOS7 update (but it is NOW).  Second, a pop up indicated I needed Adobe Digital to read and/or download the book.  This included books I was in the process of reading and had worked fine previously, as well as a new book I tried to download.  I sign up dor Adobe Digital (though I already had Adobe Reader on the iPad).  Following that, each time I tried to download or read a book (even after Overdrive was made compatible) I get the message: "This license has already been fulfilled by another user." Fulfill:2004.....
    I have no idea what I have done or how to correct the problem.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    jackbmack

    I'm sorry I gave the impression I thought Overdrive was an Adobe product.  I know it is not.  The problem I am having IS with the Adobe product and the message I receive concerning "This license has already been fulfilled....." appears to be the result of the Adobe product. I had Googled Adobe Digital and discovered what I felt were conflicting or at least ambiquus statement including: http://http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1232101.
    Anyone else have any thoughts?  I DID send a help request to Overdrive but have not yet heard back from them.
