"Camera Raw Not Enabled" Camera Raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature.

I upgraded my computer yesterday to a Mac Mini 2014 from a Mac Mini 2011. Restored the drive from Time Machine. The message I received when trying to use Photoshop was I had to many computer enabled. The option was to disable the other two and use this one, which I did. I tried to open a JPG in ACR and got the message "Camera Raw Not Enabled" Camera Raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature". If I open a Canon RAW file Adobe Camera Raw opens normally. Stumped.

The problem cleared itself. Don't have a clue why.

Camera Raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature - Can someone help me I'm on a Macbook Pro 2013 with CS6?

I get this error message when I try to use Camera Raw in Bridge - all my other adobe products work fine. "Camera Raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature" I have a 2013 Macbook Pro - I have also updated all the know adobe updates online.

Just a clarification in general:

In Adobe Bridge, when I try to open my camera raws, I get a pop up stating"Bridges parent application is not active.

Bridge's Parent Application is Not Active, Bridge Requires That a Qualifying Product Has Been Launch

Has anyone figured out how to fix this? Tried fixes & I still can not open RAW files from Bridge or Photoshop CS5. I upgraded the Camera RAW plug-in and downloaded all fixes for Photoshop CS5 ( done automatically through Adobe updater) so program is up to date. I can open RAW files from mini bridge if I right click the photo BUT if I take the photo back to Bridge I can not open it there. ( I could do this before the upgrades so this is not different ). I have windows 7 professional 32 bit. I tried DNG files & .cr2 files.
In Photoshop CS4 I had the same problem ( almost the same error message...bridge requires a qualify product to be launched at least once... Camera RAW) and it was never fixed but I didn't understand the advantages of working in camera RAW. So it may be the same glich if I had it in CS4 & CS5. Thanks in advance for your help.

i ran into the same issue just this last week....and i finally found (at least in my case) the SOLUTION...i'd D/Led the trial version of adobe illustrator...something in that download, or the preference choices that followed afterward, KICKED my "Parent Application," which had always been photoshop CS4, to the curb! realizing, as i've had to in the past, that i should "look back to what you'd done just prior to the change (with its resulting ERROR message) and UNDO it." ergo: i dumped the trial version of illustrator, and VOILA! i can now, once again, open jpgs by opting for "open in camera raw" directly from the BRIDGE again...hope this helps! too bad newly added ADOBE programs don't ask you to actually ESTABLISH which of their programs you would LIKE to designate as the PARENT APPLICATION when you're loading said new software!

Thank you

Details, please. Platform, exact version of Photoshop and of your OS, what trouble shooting steps you've taken so far, etc,
First thing to try, if it had worked before, is to Purge the Cache in Bridge.

Camera Raw editing is not enabled. Camera Raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature.This appears when the open in camera raw disc is clicked in bridge. any solutions??

Hi,
Open Adobe Photoshop first. Open a Camera Raw file in Photoshop.
Then open Bridge from within Photoshop from File> Browse in Bridge.
Then try to open Raw files in Bridge. That should work.
We need to launch the parent product of Bridge first ( in this case Photoshop). Then we need to open the images in Bridge and it should work normally.
Thank you,

Bridge will not now let me use camera raw, though I had been using it every day. It says that "the parent application is not active. Bridge requires that a qualifiying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature." What am I to do?

Usually this points to having some kind of earlier trial version still installed on your system. However without more details you are not likely to find an answer. Try this for a start:

Camera RAW has stopped working - says requires that a qualifying product has been opened at least once. I am a fully up to date CC 2015 subscriber. It was working fine previously.

Camera RAW has stopped working. Says CR editing is not enabled. Requires a qualifying product opened at least once. PC CC, Bridge and Lightromm all work.

We're only up to CC 2014 right now.
Are you using Bridge to open up the RAW?

Hi there
It sounds like you might be using Adobe Bridge, correct? If so, you can try reading through this help article that matches the error message you're receiving: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-suite-color-management-enabled.html
If you are indeed using Bridge and need additional help, please post again so that I redirect you to the correct forum.
EDIT: Most likely, you've installed Adobe Bridge with an individual product such as Photoshop or Illustrator, and not as a Creative Suite - see below.

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?
