Cannot use this software (148.3)

I use the Acrobat 9 in my PC at my house, for many years.
A couple days ago, I bought the latest version to use for another PC.
Accidentally the acrobat 9 software was installed into the PC, then I uninstalled the acrobat9 and install the latest version.
So the latest version woks properly in the PC.
However, after the accident, the acrobat 9 installed in my PC does not work and the error message comes up.
Please advise

If you installed AA9 on a separate PC, it should have nothing to do with the operation of the current PC. I guess I may be a bit confused on the exact steps that have lead to this problem with 2 PCs.

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.

"You cannot use this version of the application Mail with this version...

I recently needed to replace my hard drive and now when I try to open the Mail application I get the following message: "You cannot use this version of the application Mail with this version of Mac OS X."
Any help is appreciated.

ANSWERING MY OWN POST:
I have tried reinstalling Mail from my Snow Leopard upgrade disk directly and tried it using Pacifist. Neither worked because both simply reinstalled version 4.0. Fortunately, I have a MacBook Pro and it has version 4.1. I copied this directly, which was not ideal (it was quite confused about my mailboxes), but it worked.
The problem is that +Software Update+ did not detect the old version of Mail and Apple does not provide a direct way (that I could find) of downloading the latest version. Each time I downloaded Mail from Apple, it was version 4.0.

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.

and reinstall the software.

Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
Anyways I digress.
So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
Answers in a postcard :-)
Much love

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...

HT2404 When I try to download free updates for apps, I've suddenly started getting an error message saying: You cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software." But I do own the apps. And I haven't changed my ID

When I try to download free updates for apps, I've suddenly started getting an error message saying "You cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software".
But I HAVE owned the software, for ages. (And, in any case, the apps in question are all free.)
And I don't have multiple Apple IDs.
What can I do?
Any advice much appreciated

This can occur if you bought the machine used and iLife was reinstalled with another AppleID.
This also can occur if the "free apps" you downloaded have paid upgraded versions and/or are now payware and you can't get updates.
All software from MAS is copy protected, it might be free as in "no charge" but it's not free in the sense you can share it with others.

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.

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.

EVER SEE THIS MESSAGE "cannot install this software on this volume (null)"

Hi All,
I am trying to see what this message is all about. I have used LimeWire without a problem and now not only does the program not launch, my mac gives that message if I try to reinstall.
"cannot install this software on this volume (null)"
I have tried restarting, and also reinstalling on my external HD, but still no go.
Could it be something to do with my prefrences?
Thanks In Advance.

Jesh Rocco thats a great qustion did you try using 'find' Lime Wire and then trashing everythingf before reinstalling?
Dahhhhh That worked.

Try to update my mac and iphone apps but there is massage , you cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software,

Alert: you cannot install this software on your computer

I purchased a used iMac on CL. The owner said he had reinstalled the original OS (v10.6.4 and upgraded it to v10.6.8. to remove his personal data. He did not install the Applications disk. The computer works fine. The model identifier is iMac 10.1. He gave me what he said were the original gray Apple-logo Applications and OS dvds. I tried to install the Applications DVD but receive the error " Alert: you cannot install this software on your computer." He says these are the original disks. I'm new to the Mac and would like some help. Thanks.

See > iLife '11 Installation Failed? Please...: Apple Support Communities
Sounds like you might just need the > Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 which can be installed over the 10.6.8 system version.
Then if that doesn't work, start over fresh and use the combo update above.

You cannot use this version of the application Mail with this version OSX

I just installed 10.5.8 (9L30) via Software Update and now my Mail doesn't work. Instead, I get a dialog box that says "You cannot use this version of the application Mail with this version of Mac OS X." When I run it out of Terminal from /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail it runs fine, even though it is Version 3.5 (which is what shows up when I do Get Info on the Mail application in the Applications folder). This is really poor, Apple. This is basic stuff -when you upgrade the OS you have to make sure all the Apps work. How are you going to fix this?

Thomas A Reed wrote:
Apple obviously are stupid enough to release an update that broke mail..
Then how do you explain all the people saying they've had no problems with the update? (Oh, and "Apple are"???)
Not everyone had the problem. Good for them. More than one person had the problem - and perhaps even more will experience it. That means there is a hole in the update process - i.e. something does not work properly in all situations. Apple is not God - they stuff up sometimes, innit? Stop defending them.
No matter whether you use a Mac or Windows machine, you need to do some basic maintenance from time to time to keep things working smoothly. Macs, overall, tend to need less, but you still need to check the hard drive from time to time, and you definitely never want to install an OS update if there's a chance you've got hard drive problems.
So if that's the case, why design an "automatic" Software Update utility that does not do a check of HD integrity if it is so vital to do such a check before installing an OS upgrade? Does that make any sense? Where do Apple recommend such a check prior to installing an OS upgrade? It's not immediately obvious do the average user. Apple have gone out of their way to make claims like "you never have to defrag a Mac". They don't mention anything about HD checks. If it's so fundamental, why not? Is it unreasonable to think that a company that prides itself on good design would think of this?
Thank you for the link for the consolidated update. That fixed it - except that it should have worked first go from the auto updater.
