AME CS6 Application Not Activated

Today I went to queue some videos in Adobe Media Encoder that I edited in Premiere Pro CS6 and received a message saying that the program that installed ME was not activated.
"Thank you for installing Adobe Media Encoder CS6. The Adobe product that installed Media Encoder has not actiavted. Please launch and activate that Adobe product before continuting to use Media Encoder."
When I click OK and it closes. I can export direct out of Premiere (single exports), but ME will not open.
What are my options here? I've tried rebooting, but that didn't do anyting. Is there an actual issue with my serial number, or is there a problem with the program itself? Is there any kind of workaround to get Media Encoder running?
Premiere indicates that is it fully activated and I have no issues with it.
OSX 10.9.1
Adobe CS6 Master Collection (up-to-date)

Could you try deactivaging the license and re-activate it? Does it solve the issue?

AME CS6 will not import Avid QT Ref files

It says they're corrupt. CS5.5 worked fine. We just updated to CS6 (finally) because Adobe Encore wouldn't work with our new HP Z820 systems. Fixed one problem, now we have another. No matter what I do, Quicktime Reference files out of Avid Version 6.5.2 on Z820 will not import or encode a reference file. This is our workflow. Takes way too long to create self-contained QT files. All applications are updated to current version.

No, no luck. There is no black in my sequence, and if there was - I tell Avid to fill blank space with black. This was never an issue before, still saying files are corrupt. I took all updates, no help. I don't think they're addressing this. I remember in CS5, I had to beg them to get the audio to work in AME with QT reference files from Avid. They finally fixed it, maybe someone can address this? I saw another post a while back on this forum for the same issue.

Adobe CS6 Applications not opening after installation via AAMEE

I setup AAMEE with the desired CS6 apps, disabled updates, installed the AAMEE package on the master image then deployed it out to several Mac labs. Most of the clients are fine but on some, when I try to open Photoshop or Illustrator, etc., the icon appears in the dock along with the Adobe Application Manager icon. Both icons appear and disappear simultaniously, and theres no way to force quit anything. Does anyone know how to fix this? Please help, the labs need to be CS6 ready by this Friday..
Here is the error log I get, and it keeps repeating:
"1/9/13 10:51:49.290 PM PDApp: CFURLCreateWithString was passed this invalid URL string: '/System/Library/Frameworks/' (a file system path instead of an URL string). The URL created will not work with most file URL functions. CFURLCreateWithFileSystemPath or CFURLCreateWithFileSystemPathRelativeToBase should be used instead."
Thanks!

Yep.
Having the same problems here too. There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason for this either. First, this was happening only on a couple of my Macs, now it seems to be affecting over 50% of them on campus.
I am wondering if there was a bug in a recent Adobe CS6 update that I may have pushed out when using RUM.
Adobe. I need help and quick. We are due an Ofsted inspection soon and this does not look good at all.

CC programs not downloading with complimentary subscription. And CS6 applications not updating at all. Why is this?

I have a complimentary subscription to CC and run CS6 Master Collection. The CC apps will not download, and the CS6 apps will not update. I followed the online instructions, checked for bugs and spoke to support on the weekend - who could not help. They suggested speaking directly to Adobe on a weekday. This must be an ongoing issue. Any solutions much appreciated.

Thanks for this response. Of course there's a link. However that link has not worked for me. I just posted another version of the same question to the Forum after 6 months of waiting for Adobe - to no avail. You can follow it here: I have owned Adobe CS Master Collection since CS3. I currently run CS6 and cannot update my software online. I run on a MacBook Pro Retina Mid 2012, 16GB RAM, SSD, with Mavericks 10.9

Bridge CS6 did not download, PS window over extends below Mac icons at bottom

I subscribed to CS6 and Bridge CS6 is not activated. When I try it takes me back to Bridge CS4. Also, my PS window extends below my laptop icons so that I am not able to see bottom icons from my layers pallet. I've try to get tech support for 3 days. Spending 3 hrs waiting on the phone 1st day, 3.5 hrs on the second(my phone number was taken by contact person but did not received same and today I've waited since 10 am and it's 10:30 pm(via prompter I was told to expect a call back at 11:30 am). I don't understand what is the problem? When I subscribed there was a friendly operator to sign me up without a hassle.

Screenshots tell a lot. I would guess, though, that it works ias it always has - by default, PS will open in fullscreen and if you don't auto-hide your dock and keep it in teh forerground all the tiem, naturally it will interfere with any app running in fullscreen. For Bridge, you can change the associations manualyl in the Bridge prefs and enabling/ disabling the relevant startup scripts.

When I try to open CS6 camera raw I get an error abou the parent application not bein active.

Actually there are two problems. 1) When I try to open a picture in CS6 camera raw I get this error "Bridge's parent application is not active. Bridge requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature. My second problem is that I'm unable to open Ps without getting a window to get the creative cloud. If I close the window it closed Ps.
How do I fix these two problems?

Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try to disable Protected Mode [Edit | Preferenes | Security (Enhanced)].

Postcript fonts not showing in any of the CS6 applications

I cannot get any of the postscript fonts to appear in the CS6 apps. I am using FontAgent Pro 4.1 to manually activate fonts with CS6 applications (auto-activiation works fine in pre CS6 programs - I do realize that InsiderSoftware has not released updated plugins for CS6 for windows yet). When I activate an opentype or truetype font they appear within a few seconds in the CS6 apps, but none of the postscript/type 1 fonts show. They do show in all other programs, including earlier versions of the Adobe programs. I have delete all adobefnt*.lst files, rebooted and still no progress.

Updated info - it appears that the folder \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts along with a shortcut pointing to the folder where FAP adds shortcuts (FAP_APS) for the type 1 fonts that are activated. This was present in the \Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts and all fonts except type 1 would appear in the CS6 apps when activated. I added the shortcut as shown in the link (http://knowledgebase.insidersoftware.com/entry/25/) and so far, type 1 fonts, once activated, are now showing in CS6. I wonder is this has anything to do with installing the 64 bit versions of Illustrator and Photoshop?

Bridge's parent application is not active

Hi,
I've suddenly come across a problem with Adobe Bridge where it isn't allowing me to open .CR2 files into Camera Raw. When I right click on an image in Bridge, an error message pops up:
"Bridge's parent application is not active. Bridge requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature."
Originally, I opened Photoshop CS6, then File > Browse in Bridge. I've have opened ACR hundreds of times on this computer so I don't understand why it wants me to open it to be able to use it. I've opened a RAW file from Windows explorer, but when going back to Bridge, the same error occurs.
Does anyone know what the problem is here and how to fix it?
Running Windows 7, Photoshop CS6 64-bit, ACR 7.1, Bridge CS6 64-bit.
Thank you!

Then, in Bridge, I get the dreaded "Camera Raw blah blah blah" message when trying to open files in ACR by pressing 'cmd-R' or going to File > Open in Camera Raw.
This seems related to an old thread and I'm using email to read and write to the forum. Can you clarify a bit more about the blahblah?
You stated that it happened suddenly this morning and also mention a subscription trouble with the creative cloud. Did you use Bridge after the trouble was solved and it worked but stopped this morning or was it directly after you reinstalled everything?
Did you already try the obvious restart Bridge holding down option key and choose reset preferences? The Clean tool is not deleting everything Adobe has installed before.
And double check on the updates, the application manager sometimes has a mind of its own, especially when having multiple language versions installed, it only updates the language version set in preferences.
And check PS the About Menu
for about PS it should say 13.1.2 x64
and about plug in / camera raw it should say 7.3.0.71.
And in Bridge About Bridge it should say 5.0.2.4
Can you confirm this and can you also report what other applications you have installed from the creative cloud.
And since I changed to OSX 10.8 I can't check myself, is 10.7.5 the latest update?

Bridge's parent application is not active. Bridge requires that a qualifying ....

Hi,
After installing CS6, whenever I try to open Camera Raw Preference, I get this error message ....
Bridge's parent application is not active. Bridge requires that a qualifying product has been lauched at least once to enable this feature
Can anybody kindly tell me exactly what this means, and more important, how to fix this problem?
Thank you.

Most of the time it means you have an expired Adobe trial on your computer. Bridge is waiting for it to give command. Find and uninstall the trial.

Photoshop CS6 is not installing properly and i am unable to locate the application

HELP ME!!!! My trial Photoshop CS6 is not installing properly and i am unable to locate and open the application on my mac. I am just going around in circles from file to file and back to the starting "intall" icon

I am on the Adobe Download Assistant. It was stuck at "less than a minute" for an hour and a half, showing that the installation was basically done, since the installation bar was full. But it was stuck. Now it has stopped all together, and is restarting the download from scratch.
Apparently it does not save the download, or only saves a small portion.
c:\adobe/CS6MasterCollection/MasterCollection_CS6_LS16.7z.adadownload
It is at 85.6 MB, even though a short time ago it was close to 99.9% done with the 6,352 MB download.
My internet connection is fine, all is working, and I am able to browse, etc.
I have been careful to keep activity minimal on the computer, so as to avoid conflicts.
The conflicts are with the Adobe Download Assistant.
I amabout ready to just give up, and look for alternatives.
Please help.

In Adobe Bridge when I try to open my camera raws, I get a pop up box stating "Bridges parent application is not active. Bridge requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature" What do I do? Please advise

In Adobe Bridge, when I try to open my camera raws, I get a pop up stating"Bridges parent application is not active. Bridge requires that a qualifying product has been launced at least once to enable this feature." What the heck? I have a PC and haven't had problems before.. I have adobe cloud and pay my monthly bill...

Have you opened Photoshop or any other Adobe app that Bridge works with? You need to do this if you've upgraded PS or just signed up for CC.

Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize USB PnP Sound device connected to iMac OSX even when activated in Audio MIDI setup. The iMac(i-7 processor,16 GB) is working with this USB device without any problem

Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize the USB PnP Sound device in order to produce a commentary sound track. The USB device has been activated on the iMac OSX by using the Audio-MIDI-setup and is working correctly with the iMac. When opening > presets >audio hardware I can only select between >standard >out integrated > digital input integrated >microphone integrated. USB PnP is not indicated at this place.
With the built-in microphone of the iMac I can produce the commentary sound track, but I would prefer a stand alone version for better quality.
Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Annemarie!

I'm using a Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 (which has a microphone on the side). I have several other devices plugged into separate USB slots: a keyboard, a mouse, my iPhone, and a Roland keyboard midi controller.
I've considered that maybe the webcam/mic combo is the culprit. If USB doesn't work at a constant speed, that could very well be causing the issue! The sound begins to lag badly sometimes when it's working properly, so that there's a multisecond delay between speaking and hearing my voice repeated back over the mic which is another sign that something is wrong. I've also caught it making a strange electronic sound during its "hang" time once it stops taking sound input correctly.
Maybe I should try to use line-in and forgo USB altogether then. I think I'd need a preamp and some sort of converter for that since the Mac Mini lacks a powered mic jack. I'm only a newbie musician so I've never set up such a system but it might be a better solution in the long run.
I'll check to see if it hangs before or after my computer enters suspend mode, that's a good suggestion too. Thank you for your help!

Bridge CC parent application is not active

Hi, I'm currently using elements 13 (that's both premiere and photoshop) on windows 7 64 bit. I installed Bridge CC specifically to use the camera Raw feature, however as the title says every time I attempt to open a .cr2 file using camera raw it brings up the message "bridge's parent application is not active. Bridge requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature."
Now I assume a qualifying product would be photoshop, which i've opened before, I've looked around elsewhere for solutions and only found swapping the AMTlib.dll which hasn't worked at all for me as it just breaks bridge completely. This is bearing in mind that everything worked fine on elements 12 on my previous PC but I've gotten rid of that and there's no way for me to able to access it now.
Thanks for the help in advance.

Bridge CC only works with CC products not Elements versions of anything which have their “Organizer”.

What does 'Bridge's parent application is not active" mean?

I just installed Adobe CS5 design premium and I am trying to open Camera RAW files in Bridge in Camera RAW, but it keeps giving me an error saying, "Bridge's parent application is not active. Bridge requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature." What does this mean? What am I supposed to do in order to use this feature of Bridge? Thanks for helping me.

This has been a problem for some. Try opening Bridge from Photoshop or another application, rather than from the Bridge icon.

What does this error message mean? Bridges Parent application is not active

I updated my Bridge and now I can't use it because I get this message
Bridges Parent application is not active
Bridge requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature

Usually that means you have not launched Photoshop.
