Cloud Version of CS6 keeps asking to be activated

I have downloaded and installed products under my CS6 Creative Cloud account and have activated the software. Almost every time I use it, I am asked again to activate the software. Is this normal? The information I read said that the software would check once a month, not every time I run the software.

Nomally when this happens the serial does not get saved to the harddrive in the cache.db so it is asking to activate every time you start.
Navigate to Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD/Cache and rename the cache.db to cacheold.db
Launch the program activate and close the program and launch again to test if it's working.
On windows: Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\Cache\

Photoshop CS6 keep asking me to licence the software

Photoshop CS6 keep asking me to licence the software everytime I launch it. I do it, and on the next launch, its asking me again. Sick and tired of this. Also, I loose my settings randomly.
Anyone has the same issue?

Which version of CS6 version 13.1.2 Creative Cloud applications ask for serial number
Losing settings usually means that your user ID's Photoshop preferences have been reset...

Mac OSX Photoshop CS6 keep asking for serial number

Hi, I don't know why, but since few days ago, my photoshop CS6 started to pop up with the trial message and ask me to enter serial number. However, I'm on a one year subscription for photoshop CS6 only, there is no serial number.
I opened the software, and choosed "lincese this software" and then signed in with my adobe ID. After that, the message ask me for serial number. This didn't happen before.
My systme is :
Now it says I only have one day for the trial. Please help me to resolve this.
Thanks
Eric

@CKPAD.co - The Adobe ID you are using to post here has never signed up for the Creative Cloud, not even a free/trial account. Are you using a different Adobe ID for a Creative Cloud subscription? If not this would be the correct behavior. The 30 day trial ends and you can either puchase a perpetual license (serial number) or a Creative Cloud subscription.
Feel free to follow up with me by email at [email protected] since I do not want you share private information like your email address in public forum.

Photoshop CS6 keeps asking for serial number

I installed Photoshop CS6 x64 on a 64 bit Win 7 machine. Every time I start it, it says trial will expire in 0 days and lets me put in my license number or continue trial. I can do either and use the software. This has been occurring for multiple days. I installed the x32 version on the same machine. I only needed to put in the license number once and it works fine. What can I do to get the x64 version working correctly?

Hi ,
Please check your host file and try to activate again:
Reset the hosts file:
Windows:
Choose Start > Run, type %systemroot% \system32\drivers\etc, and then press Enter.
Right-click the hosts file and select Open. Select Notepad for the application to open the hosts file.
Back up the hosts file: Choose File > Save As, save the file as hosts.backup, and then click OK.
Search the hosts file for entries that reference activate.adobe.com (for example, 127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com) and delete these entries.
Save and close the file.
Mac OS
Log in as an administrator to edit the hosts file in Mac OS.
In a Finder window, choose Go > Go To Folder.
Type /etc.
Select the hosts file and open it.
Back up the hosts file: Choose File > Save As, save the file as hosts.backup, and then click OK.
Search the hosts file for entries that reference activate.adobe.com (for example, 127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com) and delete these entries.
Save and close the file.
If still the same issue then try updating Application Manager: https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud, launch CS6 and enter the key when prompted and let us know whether it worked.

Uninstall the trial version you were using and then download the Creative Cloud app and install Lightroom via the app instead.

CS6 keeps asking to "license this software"

We purchased CS6 last year and installed onto a staff member's laptop. She had no problem using the program for months until last week when out of the blue she was prompted with a screen to license the software, at which point I had to log into our corporate account from her laptop and re-enter the license key. Now it's happening again so I contacted Adobe support yesterday via chat - the rep advised the following:
First he said this was a rights issue to which I advised the user does have admin rights to the laptop.
He then advised to open the application by right-clicking and selecting "Run as administrator". Did not help.
He then advised to navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD and then delete the cache file. Did not help.
We're looking for a solution asap as this issue is keeping our staff from getting work done.
Thanks!

Internet connectivity is not an issue for this user, she is connected via our LAN. Still trying to figure out the cause of this issue - in fact it was successfully registered 6 months ago and working fine, now all of the sudden it prompts for registration. Therefore internet connectivity should not even be an issue.
Waited on hold for over 1.5 hours for Adobe support yesterday and finally gave up. Does no one answer the phones at Adobe?
Still need help resolving this issue.

After installing CC, CS6 keeps asking for serial

Don't know why this is happening, but since I installed CC when I reboot my computer or launch CS6 apps for the first time I have to reenter the serial number for CS6. Quite annoying.

Dave there are a couple different ways which we may be able to solve this then. First you can deactivate your current installation of Creative Suite 6. This should then give you the opportunity to enter your Adobe ID instead of your serial number. You can find details regarding the deactivation process at Activation & deactivation help - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html.
I am concerned though that you continue to be prompted to reactivate after each time you reboot your computer. Thus even if we change the license to Creative Cloud the root cause of the issue may still persist. As an alternative you could try adjusting the file permissions on the parent directories/folders which contain the licensing files. What operating system are you using exactly?
Finally is this computer managed by an I.T. department or on a managed network?

Registered version of CS6 keeps reverting to trial status

I have a license for CS6 Production Premium and have been using the suite since mid-2011. Recently, launching one of the applications in the suite periodically prompts me to "continue your trial" or to register my products. Each time, I type in my serial number, Adobe's system appears to register or confirm registration of my product, and I go on my way. A few weeks later I get the "continue your trial" prompt again. Again I fetch my serial number and go through the process again.
This keeps happening, and I want it to stop. I've bought the product, registered it, and installed it. Why does this trial status keep occurring?
Thanks.

XP doesn't meet min-requirements for DW CC or Photoshop CC.
You would need to download and install CS6. Be sure to follow the VERY IMPORTANT instructions or it won't work.

Newer versions of Firefox keep asking me if I want to go to a certain page because it's not "encrypted." Very annoying to have to click on three boxes everytime I go to check my webmail. Any suggestions? I dump the new versions to revert back to old FF.

I have tried updating FF a number of times, but each time I do, the "encryption" boxes keep popping up and I end up dumping FF. I love Firefox, and am wondering if I'm missing something or do other people deal with this problem?

thank you all for your suggestions, when my battery died the other night, i left it off & charged it, got a better day the next day ~ i still think it's crazy that a phone of this capacity sucks the life out of the battery and that it is a known issue - shame on HTC
@ dabubbakin - should i call verizon or HTC???
Since I've been checking out all the forums, I am going to stick w/ the phone... there are some things I don't think I like right now (like making phone calls) but maybe it's operator error... I want to see what the froyo update will do and I'll keep looking for suggestions...
Thanks all...

DW (CS6) keeps asking me whether to update template files?

I have come across this issue before but ended up regenerating the site.
I have a template which has a basic menu on it which points to three index files in root, portfolio and contact folders respectively.
From this template I have created the index.htm files in each of the above.
Then back to the template I have put the links to the pages to the menu.
NOW - Whenever I do anything I get the following:
If I leave dreamweaver and go to a browser, if I open a word document, if I do simply anything I get one of these boxes cascading on top of another - I click on update and another appears... I click on Don't update then the same. It's getting unbearably unworkable.
Please can anyone shed light on WHY this happens and even better HOW to fix it besides doing something drastic with my foot!
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
Terry

When DW starts acting weird, the first thing to try is Deleting Corrupted Cache in DW

If that doesn't help, try Restore Preferences

If all else fails, use the CC Cleaner Tools below followed by a software re-install.
