Cs adobe photoshop.. problems to activate it

Hi
We have long time ago installed Adobe Photoshop CS v.8 to an old pc. We don´t have this old PC anymore..Now we are trying to install this software to an other pc.
We tried to install this software to an other PC. We gave the serial number and get the activation code. But then we get error that "you have entered an invalid authorization code. Verify the number, re-enter it and click next"... I asked help from the Adobe virtual help.. and they informed me that they are not helping with this issue, because the version of our software is so old... so we would be very pleased if some one could help with this issue. Thanks

See Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
Applies to CS as well as CS2.

Adobe Photoshop problem with license

I have bought Adobe Photoshop CS4 (box, license for 3 computers) in 2009. I've used it on two computers with activation, but one computer had formating, and second I've lost. I don't know how to 'unactivate' them now, and when I trying to activate product on my actual computer - it says that all license keys are in use. I have whole box and papers, even facture as a proof for purchase. What I should do?

Here on this forum we can not help you because where are not employees of Adobe. The best is to contact adobe and explain the problem:

Can't Activate ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS4 UPG

Hello,
I have been using Photoshop ever since version 7 (having switched over from Corel's software, used previously for about 10 years) and had success with it.
I upgraded to ADOBE CREATIVE SUITE when it became available through the Adobe upgrade option and used that with equal pleasure.
In 2010 I upgraded to ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS4, again by means of an upgrade version with no trouble.
I have switched to a newer, faster computer last week, but I have been unable to re-install my Photoshop CS4 on my new computer because I am not able to activate the program.
When I tried to install the program it refused to activate based on the serial number of my Creative Suite, stating that it was not a valid serial number for this product.
I have successfully installed this product in the past, more than once, using that same CS serial number with no problem arising until now.
I am requesting your assistance to get back to being able to use ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS4, which after all I did purchase in good faith.
I am now retired and living on a fixed income which does not allow me the flexibility to purchase replacement software indiscriminately and I really need your help to solve this problem.
Please advise me of a solution or a workaround so that I can still use my software.
Thank you very much for your kind assistance.

it's not clear in your post, but it appears you may own a stand-alone ps version (cs4) and some creative suite version.
if your ps cs4 is part of a suite, you need to use the suite installation files and suite serial number. if your ps cs4 is a stand-alone, you need to use the stand-alone ps cs4 installation files and stand-alone serial number.

How do I activate the adobe photoshop elements 12 I have bought from John Lewis's?

Hi, I have just purchased adobe photoshop elements 12 from John Lewis's. I was told to use the ID number on my receipt to redeem the product. I have tried this but cannot download the product. I purchased the product on 6th March but because of a busy work shedule this has been my first opportunity to activate the purchase?

1st, Photoshop Elements is not part of the Cloud, and it has a different forum
Photoshop Elements Forum http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements
2nd, by "download" do you mean download from an Internet site, or do you really mean Install on your computer?
If you really mean download from an Internet site to your computer, that is a problem for the "John Lewis" vendor to solve
If you have a product (DVD or a downloaded install file) that will not install because you don't have a serial number, the next link will help

Adobe Photoshop CS2 has encountered a problem and needs to close.

Just starting to get this error on open in CS2 after a few months of smooth sailing on a new system (below). CS2 now cannot open. It started occasionally and increased. Tried reinstalling. Tried deleting the PS config files and same error. Any suggestions?
Here's a sysinfo paste of my system.

CS2 Premium reinstalling Adobe Photoshop activation problems

To: Adobe.com
From: Paul Sacca
[email protected]
Subject: CS2 Premium
To Whomever it Concerns,
After recently upgrading my computer's CPU, Memory and Graphics it became necessary to singularly reinstall my Adobe Photoshop (inc. Illustrator & Bridge) since I don't use the other members of the CS2 Premium Suite I made this a custom installation. Everything is working correctly with the exception of my Adobe Activation Warning System.
As you know Adobe no longer supports the CS2 Product you sold me which is your decision regardless of my belief of how good customer service should work. Your Web Site Trouble Shooting Guide states:
Adobe strongly advises against running unsupported and outdated software. The serial numbers provided as a part of the download may only be used by customers who legitimately purchased CS2 or Acrobat 7 and need to maintain their current use of these products.
I did legitimately purchase this product and once again I disagree with Adobe and wish to continue using my CS2 Photoshop, Illustrator & Bridge.
Am I to ignore your Warning System continually as I use my product? Is there another way to peacefully resolve this conflict? or Are you going to make this ugly and insist I buy yet another updated Adobe Product that you will still continue to support (for the time being)? My wish is simply to continue using my Photoshop without threats or problems from Adobe...can you help?
Paul Sacca

You can keep using CS2 without further cost. It just requires a few steps to remove the activation version and replace it with the non-activation version.
Uninstall your CS2.
Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
Download the non-activation version of CS2 from the above link. It's valid for CS and CS2 owners.
Install then enter the new non-activation serial number provided at that link. Your existing CS2 serial number will no longer work.

Problem installing Adobe Photoshop CS4. Please help me.

Hi Geeks,
I am stuck with Adobe Photoshop CS4 (Trial) installation since last two days. I am desperately looking for help to get rid of this problem.
My Problem:
At the end of installation of Adobe Photoshop CS4 (Trial) i was prompted with en error
message stating some of the components were not installed. When I check the more information button provided in the error message window, it showed below error.
“Adobe Photoshop CS4 English Language Pack Error: Error 2.”
Still I could find the installed Photoshop in C:\Program files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Photoshop.exe
When I executed above file; application showed below error message and close it.
“Some of the application components are missing from the application directory, Please reinstall the application.”
I just try to run Adobe Device Central CS4 which was installed along with it. It showed below error message.
“The Localized resource files for this application could not be loaded. Please reinstall or repair the application and try again.”
So My Problem is I am unable to open Photoshop CS4 after its unsuccessful installation.
I spent more than a day in different ways as I explained below in more info section. I am desperately looking for helping hands to fix this problem.
I ever find this kind of difficulty with any other components installation in my 10 years of development experience. Please help me.
More info:
(1) I have downloaded Adobe Photoshop CS4 (Trial) in this month (July 09) from adobe official site.
(2) My PC OS Windows XP SP3.
(3) Prior to install Photoshop CS4 I had Acrobat reader 8 and Adobe DW CS4.
(4) After I read some stuff on net, I downloaded both Windows install Clean up and CS4InstallerDatabaseUtility.exe.
(5) First I uninstalled all DW CS4 and Photoshop CS4 using add/remove then rebooted.
then ran CS4InstallerDatabaseUtility.exe (which really did not removed as it did not
find any Adobe component), then installed Photoshop CS4. No luck. same error.
(6) This time I ran CS4InstallerDatabaseUtility.exe and removed DW CS4, Photoshop CS4 and flash and rebooted. Then I ran Photoshop CS4 as Administrator. Same thing repeated at the end of installation and when I tried to open the photoshop. Finding a real hard time with it.
Any kind of help to get rid of this problem would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
R Sunil.

PS CS4 software itself has to be installed as Admin. Put the downloaded folder on the desktop (if not there already). Open the folder and right click on the .exe file and choose run as Admin.
Install on C drive is the best stable choice.
Before you do all this make the anti-virus is turned off. If windows defender is running turn that off too. If Adobe reader is installed renove that. Ensure no other adobe products are running in the background.
During install the process will hang at 90 percent for about 10 to 15 mins. This is normal.
After the software is installed reboot computer.
After reboot go to start, All Programs and right click on PS CS4. Click on properties, Compatibility and check run as Admin. Hit Apply and OK to close. Run PS CS4 and update to 11.0.1
Be Advised:
Now the biggest problem you might run into is that the trial install went too far and failed. If this happened you cannot re-install PS CS4 trial because of the DRM that is hidden in the registry hive. The hidden DRM prevents people from installing the trial more then once and limits the trial at 30 days. There is nothing you can do other then nuking the hard drive and a fresh install of your operating system.

LR4 Problem: The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS6 could not be launched.

Is there a fix for this? When I try to edit an image in Photoshop from Lightroom 4 (CTRL+E), Photoshop CS6 launches immediately but with no image. In Lightroom 4, after about two minutes, the message box appears saying "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS6 could not be launched." When I click OK, the image promptly opens in Photoshop CS6 like normal. This wan an itermittent issue for me after the LR4.1 release. I was hoping that LR4.2 would help, but now I get the error every time.
System
Lightroom 4.2 x64
Photoshop CS6 v13.0.1 x64
Bridge 5.0.1.23 x64
Windows 7 Pro x64
AMD Six Core / 3.9 Ghz
16 GB Memory
NVidia Quadro 1 Gb Video
Scratch space on three drives

This may be a cooincidence, I starting having problems after I started using a Nikon D800, which has 36MP files. LR4 released at the same time as the D800. LR4 shows signs of struggling with the larger files, which are typically 280MB TIFFs for the D800, like freezing for several seconds when using an adjustment brush or going into a spasm with the crop tool. Because Photoshop does not have similar large file issues, I'm doing more basic work in Photoshop, like cropping, dodge and burn, exposure adjustment, etc.
Because Photoshop otherwise runs fine, and appears to read all the prefernes properly mid-issue, to get a better idea of what's going on, I turned on Process Monitor from Technet. For what it's worth, LR4 appears to touch the Photoshop preferences before it launches Photoshop. LR4 must have a memory leak in that corrupts the Photoshop preferences file in a way that makes no difference to Photoshop.
My weekend project is to try Capture One to see if I can spend more time on photography and less troubleshooting Adobe problems. As it stands, LR4 is not usable for me.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has encountered a problem and needs to close. (ver 1.4.1)

I completed a search for this problem here and other forums, and found very useful information, however, I still need help. My laptop is an HP Pavillion dv1000, Intel Centrino, Windows XP, 1.24G of RAM; Camera is a Canon 5D, shooting JPEG only.
After a couple of weeks enjoying a vacation in the Caribbean, it was time to load all the new pics in the computer. I removed the card from my camera and using windows explorer, downloaded all pics in MyPictures folder. I created a new folder for this trip, and while I was there, I decided to reorganize several folders from previous trips. I renamed and moved folders around, deleted pictures, etc. (I believe that all the changes that I made created my problem.)
Once I finished all the changes with my folders, I launched Lightroom (ver 1.4.1) with the idea of synchronizing the folders and start working on my new pictures. After apx 8 seconds, I got the message: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
After a google search, I found a lot of potential answers to my problem, including this one, which I tried:
"It might also be worth trying a temporary test catalog, just to see whether it's specific to that catalog. To do so, go to File menu > New Catalog and create a new catalog somewhere easy - Desktop perhaps - and just try importing a few photos into that test catalog and see if you can get it to freeze. I'm wondering if the catalog's been damaged slightly by that initial unexpected close, and if so, we'll see if we can get that sorted out for you."
I did exactly that (created a test catalog) and I don't get the error. I am not clear on what does that mean. Could you help me understand it? What do I need to do to use my old catalog? Is it damaged? How can I fix it? Did I loose all the work that I did in my previous pictures?
If I go back to my original catalog, I still get the error.
Thank you in advanced for your assistance.
Tony

Tony,
Here's something you might try:
Create a new, empty catalogue and try File->Import from catalog... and specify your broken one as input. With luck the damage will be left behind.
If that doesn't work, try deleting or renaming your preferences file. Look here for its location.
And if that doesn't work, try deleting or renaming your presets folder. See that same website for details.
Let us know how you make out.

Adobe Photoshop 2.0 Problem

Hello! This my first posting. I had this problem about not being able to open My Catalog. Until tonight. I was able to figure out how to get the Photoshop 2.0.1 Starter Edition working again. You don't have to re-install your entire Windows XP Home Edition system, etc. If anyone is interested here is the Tech Note: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=331405&sliceId=1
I did everything the instructions said, except I substituted everywhere it mentions another Adobe Photoshop program(s) for Adobe Photoshop 2.0.1 I uninstalled the software from the Add/Removal list and went through all the steps. When I came across the registry keys mentioned in the step "Remove the following registry entries" I looked for the ones associated with Adobe Photoshop 2.0.1, and went on down the steps finding everything that had the Adobe Photoshop name attached. I also did a search of my system to make sure there wasn't anything else that I may have missed and deleated it. I re-downloaded the Adobe Photoshop 2.0.1 software and now I have it back, you'll also will need to re-register it of course. The thing is though if you had anything in My Catalog it will be gone but at least you have Adobe Photoshop working again. WHEN WORKING WITH YOUR REGISTRY KEYS KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
Here is where I downloaded it from: http://english.p30world.com/archives/001312.php

By the way, Photoshop CS4 (x86) works perfect, I can't launch only x64 version. Have you any idea how to solve this problem?

Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application.

I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but get the same error message.

Which version of OS X do you have? It's not clear from your post whether "installed an upgrade" means you just installed PSE 13 as an upgrade or you installed an update to PSE 13, like ACR 9 or 13.1. Please clarify.
