Activating problem Photoshop 8.0

I'm trying to activate Photoshop 8.0. While activating it on the internet I get an error that the activation system is not available and I should try the Phone Activation. On the phone I recieve the same answer, it's not available.
Someone who nows a solution? I already tried the Adobe helpdesk chat, but they can't help me because they don't support these older versions anymore .

Monique,
Welcome to the forum.
I assume that you are referring to Ps 8, AKA Photoshop CS. If so, the Activation Server for CS & CS2 has been disabled.
Please see this Adobe KB Article, and follow the instructions to get your Ps CS Activated: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Activation-problem Photoshop Elements 8.0

    My old computer has been crashed. So I cannot deactivate my product on that computer.
    After install of the product on my new computer activation is refused because the maximum of activations already has been reached.
    What can I do?

    You need to contact support directly for activation/deactivation and other installation issues. It’s usually possible to start a live chat, if an Adobe agent is free, and often to get the problem fixed right away.

  • When validating, activating my photoshop 13 i get the message internet not active, checked internet is ok, country and time is correct setup

    When validating, activating my photoshop 13 i get the message internet not active, checked internet is ok, country and time is correct setup. What can be checked more to solve this?

    Had this issue myself. I've got no solution for you and customer support has been weak and non-responsive to say the least. Had an online chat with support last Saturday, 12/27, and was assured someone would get back to me via email within 2-3 business days. It's been over a week and no contact. I'm going to start the whole process over again. I personally disabled all firewalls and virus scanners and even went so far as to perform a clean boot on my system with no results. I am having the same problem with a Nero product (different company). It's frustrating as all hell.

  • Can you help me with FontExplorer font activation problems?

    Anyone know how to solve a font activation problem I am having with FontExplorer 4.2? I am on a new mac with new fonts, I am using Maverick with Adobe CS6. With my new mac I bought the latest version of FontExporer Pro X 4.2. This program is having trouble with font activation in all my Adoble suite apps including Indesign. Here is what I am seeing:
    1. The font activates, but the Adobe app does not recognize that it is active. If I go back to Font Explorer and deactivate manually, then re-activate manually. The adobe app might then recognize it. Sometimes it still doesn't. But this does not stay permanently, as soon as I do a restart I have to go through this process again. I see this more often with the User system fonts, but a few times with my regular fonts.
    2. Other times, such as in Indesign, I go to open the file and the file stalls and doesn’t progress while it is trying to activate the fonts.
    3. Another time I have seen after an illustrator file is opened the fonts aren't recognized as being opened and the text goes blank on the page.
    4. In all adobe apps, if I go to use "replace font" on the missing fonts (even though they are turned on) the "replace font" menu only shows the basic system fonts, it won't show me the other fonts turned on.
    I have seen these issues with both formerly created files and fresh new files.
    I have tried the following based on feedback from Font Explorer staff:
    Refresh your Spotlight database
    1. Quit all applications other than FontExplorer X
    2. Choose Tools > Refresh Spotlight Database
    Clean your font caches
    1. Quit all applications other than FontExplorer X 2. Choose Tools > Clean Application Font Caches (check all available checkboxes)
    3. Choose Tools > Clean System Font Caches (requires restart)
    Still after trying this multiple times, the errors continue and even get more random.
    I have also tried this based on their feedback:
    go to FONTEXPLORER X PRO -> PREFERENCES -> ADVANCED and make sure that "Automatically deactivate fonts which have not been activated by the system" is NOT set to never.
    Then click on TOOLS and clean all font caches. Then reboot the system.
    The auto-activation is using a new Apple technology (called Core Text), which unfortunately does not work correctly with some of the Adobe and Quark applications when keeping the fonts permanently activated. We are currently working on an update, and the next version of FontExplorer X Pro will fix this issue.
    This has also not work. Can anyone help me?

    Here is the official work-around for this problem.
    1. Locate "FontExplorer X Pro.app" in Applications
    2. Right-click on "FontExplorer X Pro.app" and select "Show Package Contents"
    3. Navigate to /Contents/Helpers/
    4. Double-click "FontExplorerXLauncher-3.app" or right-click and "Open" to launch it manually. This is needed only once, afterwards the plugins will work normally.
    Please make sure you open the version with the "-3" suffix, the other one does not fix the problem.

  • Can I have a decreased / cheaper monthly priced membership for some time, by keeping active only Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC, InDesign CC and Acrobat?

    Hello, and good evening from Athens, Greece.
    I would like to ask a question concerning my CC membership.
    I’ve started 1 and a half year ago by paying 29,99 € for the entire CC (all programs). Now, it’s 49,99 € and I’m having a really difficult time to keep it this way. I’m living in a country which is in the middle of crisis and my profession as a graphic designer, is not an exception to reduced spendings on advertising.
    My question is, can I have a decreased / cheaper monthly priced membership for some time, by keeping active only Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC, InDesign CC and Acrobat? I don’t need for now the other apps. Can I have a membership plan only for those applications? I would very much appreciate your respond, a help and a solution to my issue.
    Thank you very much.
    Michael.
    P.S. Forgot to tell, that I have a purchased Design Standard CS3 Suite. If this helps.

  • DC Activation Problem in CBS

    Hello,
    I am facing DC Activation problems in CBS.
    - We have two DC utils and config. The config DC uses utils DC and everything is working fine locally
    - Today we are migrating these local projects in NWDI.
    - I created new DCs in NWDI and copied the SRC folder. Did all required steps for migration, built locally and it works fine.
    - I then checked in utils and activated the same in NWDI, its working fine.
    - I then defined the dependency from the active workspace and everything is still fine.
    - Now I checkin the src of config DC and build the same. Here the problem arises. The Build Fails
    - Checked SDN and can see lot of people facing this problem but there is no solution.
    Any pointers to solve this problem will be helpful
    Regards,
    Shubham
    Here is the problematic area in log:

    Problem Solved.
    I removed the utils DC from my client. Also deleted the folder from the workspace. After this I created the project from the Dev Config perspective again. I was surprised to see there is no component in my utils DC and thats why the problem was there.
    I again copied all the src folder in the workspace and refreshed the DC. Now it locked all the source in the activity. I checked it in and repeated the above excercise. This time all the source code was there.
    I deleted the dependency in the config dc and created again from active workspace(although now I realize it was not required) and checkedin and activated.
    Hurray!!! It got activated.

  • WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? Activation problem 194:100

    What the ihell is going on?
    I have been burdened with activation issues for weeks - see my previous thread. I have had no response here from Adobe about how to fix it. Please don't say this is a 'user to user' forum. It isn't a 'U2U' forum when Adobe state this is the first place we should look!
    Now, no CC program will run owing to something called 'Activation problem 194:100'.
    Yes, I have logged out. Yes, I have rebooted. Yes, I have deactivated 'more than 2 machines'. Why should I have to repeatedly click to 'deactivate 2 previous activations' when there has NEVER been more than one activation?
    Adobe not only make me look a laughing stock in the classroom but this constant issue that has been going on for weeks now subliminally tells students Adobe software is useless!
    When will I be able to use CC again? I am paying for it remember!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hello Rajshree,
    Welcome to Adobe Forum.
    CC has only EVER been activated on ONE PC.
    If you look at http://forums.adobe.com/message/6198690#6198690 you'll see (like many other users) I have to constantly sign in and reactivate. It is probably this that is causing the multiple activations.
    However, to reiterate, CC is only running on ONE computer. It has not at any time been activated on more than the same PC. One activation - one PC.
    So, the suggestion of waiting a few hours (if the prog won't activate / run) is less than adequate. Like everyone else, I pay to have it running 24 hours a day - every day.

  • Flash MX Professional 2004 Activation Problems

    I am having trouble activating Flash MX Professional 2004. I have had the product for many years, but it is asking again to be reactivated, probably because I have moved the vmWare virtual machine on which it is installed to a new host computer.
    I have learned that the old Macromedia activation servers are no longer available, and have tried using the information provided by http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/macromedia-legacy-activation-error.html. But that only activates me to a non-professional version. I need to use features in the Professional version.
    Is there a serial number available for Flash MX Professional 2004?

    OK, I have got my problem sorted.
    After a second call to UK customer service, I was e-mailed a serial number that they said was for Flash MX 2004 Professional. However, it didn't work with my version! My version is 7.2, and the original serial number of my product starts PFD700. The serial number given by Adobe is PFD800-00466-08280-86965. Maybe the 800 means its for a later version, don't know, but my version does not accept this as a valid serial number.
    A third call to try to get a PFD700 serial number got me a brick wall again, they insisted that was the only serial number for MX 2004 Pro they had. At this point I followed sinious's suggestion and asked to talk to a supervisor. They were on the phone, and I was promised a call back. I'm still waiting.
    So I hunted a bit harder with Google and eventually found a site that gave me a serial number. The use of that unlocked the Professional features of my version, and I'm up and running again.
    Thanks for your contributions guys, you've both helped. I agree with sinious's critism of moccamaximum, and wouldn't normally go to sites of dubious provenance for help. But after being exhausted by my efforts to get help from Adobe - who to be fair nearly got there in the end - I went hunting and found something that solved my problem. After all, Adobe themselves are publishing activation-free serial numbers.
    I've given the serial number I got from Adobe, it may help others who experience activation problems in the future.
    But I'll follow sinious's advice and not give out the serial number or details of the website I got it from. It wasn't very hard to find.
