Activation of all my Adobe software doesn't work anymore also Adobe Captivate

Hello,
I'm a teacher at the Hague University in the Netherlands and I also bought the Adobe CS6 Master Collection, Adobe Premiere, Adobe Captivate 6 and it worked nice when I installed it in December 2012. But this morning all my Adobe software doesn't function anymore, I get the message that it is a trial version and it will only work for 30 days. This whole morning I am busy to get the software back to work, but also when I reinstall it and type the proper activation keys which also can be found in my Adobe-account, it says that the serials are invalid. Could I please get some support to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance,
B. Kranenburg

Dear Mr. Kranenburg,
As a teacher at a high school I experience the same problem. The problem is caused by a new licencing policy Adobe forced into place with CS6 products. The licenses you have are only valid for one year. Moreover they are actually valid for less than one year, since projects in Captivate created in the trial version mode you describe will have an expiration date. This will, in the very near future, result in non functioning projects/packages. The only way to overcome this problem is to renew your license, and republish the projects in the newly licensed product.
I can understand that Adobe wants to get more revenue out of their products. I however do not understand that a license, said to be valid for one year, will not provide a workable solution throughout this full year. A very strange policy indeed!

  • I have purchased the Adobe Creative Suite 4 and now my first dvd of the software doesn't work anymor

    I have purchased the Adobe Creative Suite 4 and now my first dvd of the software doesn't work anymore. My computer doesn't want to read it anymore. I want to mention that I also tried on some other computers and still the problems continues. How can I solve this? On the Adobe webpage I can't find anymore the download for Adobe CS4. Thanks. Marius Lupu

    You can download the software from http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html and can serialize it with the serial number you have.
    NOTE:- READ THE INSTRUCTION PROPERLY TO AVOID ANY ERROR.

  • Licensing of my Adobe products "doesn't work anymore"; errorcode 150:30

    Is this the technical support of Adobe? If so, I have a question (if not: where and how can I find it?): I use the German version of the Creative Suite 4 on a Mac OS X Mountain Lion (version 10.8.2). After regenerating a Time Machine backup I couldn't open the suite's programs anymore.
    The first days an error message kept telling me I needed to install a Java SE 6-Runtime-version, but unfortunately I didn't have Internet so couldn't do anything but wait to get my new internet contract. When I had internet again, a newer Java update (version 1.6.0_43 instead of SE 6; I can't find SE 6 to download, if this should be necessary) obviously was installed automaticly, but instead of the first error message I now always get a window telling me the licensing of the product doesn't work anymore. It tells me to relaunch the computer and if this doesn't solve the problem (which it doesn't), I shall consult the technical support of Adobe and indicate the errorcode 150:30. Can you tell me what do do? Thanks in advance!
    Theo

    Hi verwirrt,
    Error 150:30 usually comes up if you use timeline or any other software to migrate the files from the older Mac to the newer one or in case of licensing issues.
    If you have used a migration software to transfer the files then it's not recommended.
    Please remove the files and reinstall CS4 from the disk.
    Moreover Photoshop CS4 has not been tested on Mac 10.8.2 and you might face compatibility issues.
    Further if you have installed the software from the disk and did not transfer the files from the older mac to the new please refer to the steps mentioned in the Kb doc : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/error-licensing-stopped-mac- os.html
    And if you do not have the disk to reinstall the software, then please download from the direct download links available at : http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here. html
    But make sure you follow the important instructions on the page before initiating the download.

  • Back navigation arrow doesn't work anymore, also not getting suggestoins when I start typing a URL... how can these be fixed?

    So after I deleted a bunch of files/applications today (computer was threatening to crash), Firefox started to do a couple weird things. Navigating backward is no longer possible; the back navigation arrow is greyed out. Also, when I start typing a URL, it no longer suggests the rest of it, either in the URL bar itself or in a drop down menu (it used to do both). 16.0.2 is the current version, right? That's the one I kept, I deleted the others. Recently, I got the announcement that Apple isn't supporting my operating system, Mac OS X 10.5.8 anymore, I don't know if that is relevant. How can these things be fixed?

    I use Windows but I can suggest you a couple of things that you can try out.
    1. Right click on your toolbar, click Customize. Click on the "'''Restore Default Set'''" button.
    2. Go to Firefox menu > Help menu > Troubleshooting information. In the tab that opens afterwards click "'''Reset Firefox'''".

  • Adobe Reader doesn't work after windows 7 update

    Hello,
    My Adobe Reader X was working fine, until one night where Windows 7 automatically updated, and after that Adobe Reader doesn't work anymore. It doesn't respond AT ALL when I click on it, and I cannot view PDF files anymore.
    I uninstalled it, and re-installed it --- still doesn't work. I tried downloading version 9, but still it doesn't work.
    I also tried to do system restore, but somehow it won't let me --- it says it failed to do so.
    When I try to open PDF files in IE 10, it says "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader..." and an error code of 103:103.
    Could anyone help me?
    Thanks!

    You can try running cleaner on your machine

    and then again install latest Reader from

    The rest of the software mentioned above works great and fast. Only the Lenovo software doesn't work. This is rather annoying, because I can't change e.g. important property values in the power manager.
    I've deinstalled and installed (manually) again graphics driver as well as the troubleshooting software without success.
    What shell I do now?
    Regards

    Moderator edit:  Title adjusted to better reflect message content

    Dorian,
    You found me! Thanks for the logs. They confirmed what I was suspecting: a font problem is causing any application built on Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) to crash. Based on our research there are two potential issues. The fixes are pretty easy.
    One or more of your installed fonts does not have a proper date/time
    The Registry may have some invalid font path entries
    To Detect and Fix the Font Invalid/Missing Date Problem
    Open an elevated command prompt (CMD.EXE) and navigate to C:\Windows\Fonts\
    Save a font listing to your desktop with the command:  DIR *.* /tw /od > %USERPROFILE%\desktop\fontlist.txt
     3. Open fontlist.txt with notepad.
      4. Remove any fonts with a missing or invalid date (January 1, 1601 for example). Easiest way to do this is by opening Windows Explorer, going to the fonts folder (C:\Windows\Fonts\), and removing the offending fonts.
     5. Open LTT or one of the other TVTs to see if the problem is solved. If not, continue with the next section.
    To Detect and Fix the Font Registry Problem
    WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. I cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk!
    Open the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE)
    Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts
    Scan the "Data" column for each font looking for any illegal path characters
    If any are found, remove the offending characters. Here are some blogs that may offer additional insight: http://code.logos.com/blog/2009/11/how_to_crash_every_wpf_application.html and http://alissonsol.blogspot.com/2009/02/when-wpf-applications-dont-start.html

  • Had to reinstall my system and now software doesn't work

    Hi, my powerbook recently died or something, so that whenever I switched it on some code would show up. Well I reinstalled mac os x, and I'm able to get back on. But lots of the software doesn't work. That includes itunes, safari, firefox, garageband, and all my photos that I had in iphoto are gone. Some told me to reinstall those programs or update them from apple's website, but the only browser on my computer that works is internet explorer, and it won't finish loading the pages to instal safari or itunes. So I can never get to them. I tried firefox, but once I download the image and try to mount it, it says failure and corrupt image.
    I also can't even get on to some other websites, like hotmail.com, so I can't even check my email for some reason.
    I'm kind of at a loss here for how to get back my old photos, use my old programs and basically do anything on this laptop. I tried using software update to update mac os x to 10.3.9, but that didn't change anything.
    By the way, I don't have internet at home so I've been going online at starbux to do this stuff. I appreciate any help someone can give me.
    *it seems I accidently posted this in the wrong category since I have a 15-inch. I don't know how to delete this or move it, so if someone could help regardless that'd be great.
    Message was edited by: Homer Papadopoulos

    Yeah I have the original CDs. And I have backed up some stuff. But shouldn't things like safari and itunes be working anyway? The applications are there, they just won't open. Someone told me would lose my preferences and just had to update them again, but I can't do so cause safari doesn't work and internet explorer won't let me get on certain sites...

  • Help: I have recently downloaded the newest software version for apple products. I have a iPod touch. After the process of updating my software, my photo app doesn't work anymore.

    Help: I have recently downloaded the newest software version for apple products. I have a iPod touch. After the process of updating my software, my photo app doesn't work anymore. I can't take pictures or view them at all. Every time I try opening the app it kicks me out of it and sends me to the home screen. I have tried turning off my iPod and back on multiple times. Even double tapping the home screen button and closing my opened apps. And I tried looking for the photo app in the app store but I did not see it. So I am wondering what can I do? And is this due to the new software update? Does anyone else have this problem?

    No, I have not tried any backup tools. I havent restored my ipod back to factory settings yet and then sync everything back on it. I am kind of scared too because I dont want to lose anything. I have just been hoping some new apple software update will come out because I know several people have had problems when updating to the newest version available.

  • TS1702 After I have upgraded to the new iOS 6.1.2, the email software doesn't work and is not downloading.  While before it was working fine.

    After I have upgraded to the new iOS 6.1.2, the email software doesn't work and is not downloading.  While before it was working fine.
    How to fix this?

    There seems to be massive amounts of problems with every aspect of iOS 6. From what I understand all you can do is try and reset your device and pray that Apple bequeaths working software next time or allows users to revert to iOS 5 while they search for someone who knows what they are doing. Perhaps you will need to use an alternate email app until then? (Although, Gmail seems to be the only one that works properly)

    No. Reader will not damage files. It is only meant to read pdf files. PDF files are frequently damaged when sent as email due to encoding issues.
