  • Acrobat pro X error: Cannot use this product under a guest account

    We are installing acrobat pro with GP on XP systems. The install goes fine but on some users machines when they launch the program it comes back with
    "Cannot use this product under a guest account". The users are admins on the system. If I uninstall acrobat pro 10 and reinstall in manually the same error happens. (note these systems had acrobat pro 9 installed, but was un-installed with the acrobat pro 10 MST)

    Adobe WTF???!!! I have wasted a whole day on this problem and it's pissing me off. I'm trying to do something very simple.
    I have Acrobat Standard X. I installed the software on local administrator User A and it works
    I login as local administrator User B and it doesn't work, says "Cannot use this product under a guest account". Fine.
    I uninstalld software as User A and reboot
    I login as User B and installd the software. Software doesn't run, still says "Cannont use this product under a guest account". Why???!!! This is ridiculous. User B, is a local admin acount, it is not a "guest account". I understand that with this license I can only run the software with one account. I want to run the software with User B, why are you forcing me to run it with User A???!!!
    Can someone from Adobe please give a solution to this ridiculous problem? I'm losing my patience with your products and I am considering going another route...

  • Can open any adobe product on windows 8. its always says cannot use this product under a guest account

    can open any adobe product on windows 8. its always says cannot use this product under a guest account... this is the licence version of adobe cc master collection. also i did use the product past few months without any issue...

    Older trial versions are said to be found at the following sites:

  • Cannot use this product under a guest account

    I installed Photoshop Elements 12 today and registered online.  I tried to use Photo Editor and get a dialog box "cannot use this product under a guest account". I went to the Organizer side of the program and tied to log in under Help, but that didn't work.  Please tell me how to correct this issue.

    OK, we have a fix. My Administrator noticed that there was an Adobe Acrobat issue found at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/783362 that was almost identical to what I was experiencing.  In that thread, the user was a member of a group called “Administrators” but was also a member of the group called "Guests". The program saw both user accounts but allocated the user to the Guests account and gave the same error “Cannot use this product under a guest account”. With that background, my Administrator tried to remove me from the Guests group.  However, I have Windows 7 Home Premium as my operating system and it doesn't allow access to the Local Users and Groups Snap-in under the Microsoft Management Console (MMC). Therefore, he had to:
    Open a command prompt (run CMD as Administrator)
    net localgroup Guests  /delete
    Log off user
    Log back on as user.
    When he did that, I had a fully functional PSE12. So tomorrow I will begin to explore the new program and have high expectations that it will be as great as its reviews. Thanks again for all your help.

  • I receive an error message that I can't use this product under a guest account

    hi, after I installed the trial versions, i tried to open the programs and it show an eror:
    "Cannot use this product under a guest account"
    what is this eror?
    what i need to do to fix this?

    Branching this to a new discussion.  What type of account are you logging in as?  Is it an adminsitrator account?  If so please try creating a new local administrator account and see if you face the same difficulties.

  • Photoshop "can't use product under guest account"?

    I just bought Photoshop 12 today, downloaded it and everything, and now that I'm going to start editing some photos it says "Cannot use this product under a guest account". I am the administrator account so I'm confused?
    Has anyone had this problem? If so, what can I do? I would like to start using this ASAP, I have a lot of photos to edit and I just spent the money on this!!

    You should really post in the PSE forum at http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements
    Did you activate and register it?
    But this could also be an OS isue.  You should state which you are using.  Do a web search for permission issue on your OS.

    trying to launch photoshop cs3 on a mac running OS10.6.8 i keep getting the error message: Licensing for this product has stopped working  you cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT adminstrator or Adobe customer support for help
    I already Uninstalled and reinstalled the product and it still does not work.

    Hi,
    Try to uninstall the software again and you have to manually
    Delete the following folders:
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/caps
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/backup
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/FLEXnet Publisher/
    Go to Applications-->Utilities-->Disk Utility, Open it and Select the MAC HD and then click on Repair permissions.
    After that try to run the cleaner tool as mentioned by kglad.
    Restart machine and then try to install again.
    *** Make sure , you only delete these folders if there is no other adobe applications installed on the machine. As if you have any other Adobe application of the suite ( not free applications ) then it will be a problem.

    I cannot utilize my Adobe documents - I get this error message - “You cannot use this product at this time.  You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help.”

    Thank you!  My solution was different.  I had turned off services in MSCONFIG and did not turn them back on.  After I turned services back on, Acrobat started  working again without the nag error and impedance to use the program.  I appreciate your input!  Adobe customer service/tech support was dismally disappointing.

    This forum is none of those things.  That being said, we may be able to help.
    Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the product?  If not, please consider following these instructions:

  • Acrobat 9 Pro Error 148:3 You cannot use this product at this time

    Am running XP Pro SP3 with Acrobat 9.0 Pro Extended.  Until I installed Comodo antivirus software yesterday, Acrobat worked fine.  Now when I open Acrobat I get an error message similar to this:  “You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair this problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contact your IT . . .  (148:3).”  Then when I click OK, Acrobat shuts down. 
    I’ve tried the Licensing fixes found at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405970.html but fixes didn’t work.  I uninstalled and reinstalled.  Now when I try to install updates, it looks like it’s installing but at the end the installation says it failed.
    Any ideas on how to resolve my problem?   Thank-you.     

    Bill, you're correct and thanks for your help.  In my particular case, Acrobat Pro was working fine until I upgraded Comodo (from the green/white shield to the red shield).  Thnking it was an Acrobat problem, I uninstalled Acrobat Pro and reinstalled Acrobat Pro with Comodo turned off.  Still got the "148:3" error msg.  Solution, I uninstalled Comodo and restarted the computer.  Then updated Acrobat Pro, there were two updates.  Restarted computer.  Then installed Comodo.  Everything now works fine.

  • Error on ALL CS3 Products: "You cannot use this product at this time..."

    Hello all,
    I woke up this morning and attempted to launch Adobe Photoshop CS3. I received the following error:
    "You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling..."
    At the same time I tried opening Photoshop, my Antivirus application (ESET NOD 32 Antivirus) indicated that it found a "threat" named AdobeLM_libFNP.dll.
    I then tried opening DreamWeaver CS3. Same issue. Also got another threat notification from ESET NOD 32.
    Non CS3 products (Photoshop CS2, Illustrator 10) do not appear to be affected.
    I've already referred to the TechNote for this issue. I've tried all of the solutions, except for uninstalling and reinstalling the software.
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb401528&sliceId=1
    I really don't have the time today to uninstall and reinstall all of my Adobe apps. I'm hoping there is another solution.
    I'm running a complete system/virus scan right now and its coming up with threats left and right... all of them are Adobe-related w/file names like "AdobeDeviceCentralAll1.cab"
    Can anyone help?

    >At the same time I tried opening Photoshop, my Antivirus application (ESET NOD 32 Antivirus) indicated that it found a "threat" named AdobeLM_libFNP.dll.
    if you're SURE that's a virus, you'll have to reinstall the full app. my guess is you AV app is a little too aggressive in it's scanning and it stopping the adobe license manager (AdobeLM) from running so you can't run your apps.
    having heard of adobe, but never heard of est nod, i'd trust adobe 1st... try another virus scanner. for example avg (free or paid) or kaspersky, panda, mcaffe, symantec, etc.
    hmm googling i found a pcweek review. they say it's great at catching "unknown" viruses (proactive protection) but "less than stellar" at stopping and disenfecting lots of other malware. so it may be thinking because of the behaviour of the ALM, nod32 thinks it's caught an unknown virus.
    http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,130906/article.html
    >When it comes to proactive protection, Eset's NOD32 was the hands-down winner in "Virus Stoppers," our eight-program antivirus roundup. In our tests, it caught 79 percent of unknown malware samples when using one-month-old signature files. The next-closest program, BitDefender Antivirus 10, came in with a distant 61 percent
    >NOD32's overall malware detection rate wasn't stellar, however. When pitted against AV-Test.org's nearly 900,000-strong "zoo" of Trojans, viruses, and other malware, NOD32 caught only 90 percent, compared to the 96 percent rate of top performers Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6, Symantec Norton AntiVirus 2007, and BitDefender Antivirus 10. It fared surprisingly poorly with 32-bit Windows viruses (approximately 1 in 11 samples in the zoo), catching only 73 percent.
