Cs3 licensing for this product has stopped message.

Hi I Have un-installed & re-installed. I have re-booted etc, etc... I have been to the on line help & support etc, etc. I have followed all the steps & still I have no working version of cs3. This happened after I installed a trial of lightroom2 & the one month trial ran out..
Very frustrated!

Thank you. I will Google how to adjust the library permission to be compatible with legacy software, but if you have any pointers that would simplify the process, it would certainly be appreciated. I'll check back tomorrow when I've had a chance to reinstall. Thanks again!

  • CS3 Licensing for this product has stopped working on Snow Leopard

    Ok, I tried all the links, suggested, the solutions that Adobe suggested, emailed them today, see what responce I get, ran the Licensing fixer script, re-installed after using the uninstall and uninstall script, ran through all the suggestions they made, ran the installer disk with all options off, I am at the end of my rope here, nothing seems to be working, is there anyone else that might like to chime in here to see how I can even get CS3 working in Snow Leopard? I did a clean install of the OS and then time machine to add all the apps and docs back in, CS3 is the only app that is not working right now, that and the Qmaster from Compressor, think Apple would have fix that little nugget before releasing! DOH! I do need CS3 to work soon, I hope that maybe the next patch will work!

    I had the same exact experience as all of these folks.  I bought Adobe CS3 and installed it on my MAC.  Upgraded my system to Snow leopard 10.6.7 and Adobe stopped working (license error message).  Notably, on my work computer I had the same error appear after uninstalling a couple of components of the application and reinstalling them again....so be aware of that as well.
    My first step was to call the Adobe help desk where I was told after about a half hour that my system upgrade to snowleopard 10.6 made my system incompatible with Adobe.  I mentioned to the technician that I was sitting viewing the statement from Adobe in 2009 that these systems were tested to be compatible.  I was hung up on.  I called back and got another technician who told me the same thing and said there was nothing more they could do for my $1000 piece of software.
    Anyway, enough ranting...don't go by the Adobe advice and the re-license software doesn't work (or at least it didn't for me).  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times to no avail.  I had to find all of my FLEXnet files and delete them.  This took forever because my finder didn't find them (nor did my spotlight).  I had to look for them and they were in three places (library, utilities, and within some of the individual application folders).  I deleted the entire folders.  I then deleted any file even remotely associated with Adobe. I then reinstalled with all of the applications unclicked. This is important. Then I added Photoshop.  You have to open that first to get the serial number prompt (Acrobat will just crash if you try to open it without loading and opening photoshop first).  Then I loaded Acrobat and that seems to be working.  It only took me 16 hours and my time is actually worth more than the price of the software but oh well, mission accomplished, I hope this helps someone.  What a complete festival of nonsense!

  • Flash CS3 "Licensing for this product has stopped working."?? Huh?

    I purchase CS3 Design Premium about 2 years ago. And recently re-installed the system on my MacBook Pro(clean - install). It is running OS X 10.5.8. This is the message popped up after installing the CS3 Design Premium.

    Did you find a solution to the licensing issue?  Having the same problem and was told that CS3 is no longer supported.
    thanks.

    trying to launch photoshop cs3 on a mac running OS10.6.8 i keep getting the error message: Licensing for this product has stopped working  you cannot use this product at this time. 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.

  • Error message opening PS CS3 Extended : "Licensing for this product has stopped working"

    I used Migration Assistant to transfer data from my (very) old Mac OS X to a new iMac OS X Yosemite. Before doing so, I uninstalled my (also very old) PS CS3 Extended. When I tried to open PS on the new Mac it asked me to download Java, which I did. But now when trying to open PS again the error message is "Licensing for this product has stopped working". I purchased it about 5 years ago in a box which I no longer have, but I do have the complete 24 digit serial number. How best do I remedy this?

  • Need help with Photoshop and "Licensing for this product has stopped working" message. Adobe fix isn't working.

    I am still using CS3. A while back I received an error: "Licensing for this product has stopped working" for my CS3 programs. I used the recovery program suggested by Adobe and was able to get Illustrator, Flash and Dreamweaver to work, but I still can't open Photoshop or In Design. I went back to the Adobe site and did every other trick they suggested to fix the error, but nothing has worked.
    I then tried to uninstall photoshop from my CS3 suite (so I could reinstall) but got a JavaScript Alert: "Critical errors were found in set up. Please see set up log for file details." Seeing as I am not the best with the behind the scenes technical stuff, I have no idea what this means or where the set up log even is. Any help anyone can provide?
    I have had CS3 installed on my computer for over a year. I started having problems about 4 months ago.

    I am having similar problem.  Can't open any of CS3 programs after trying to download Dreamweaver Trial, which wouldn't work because "couldn't remove DLM extention" error message.  So now I can not run Illustrator, Photoshop, or even Adobe Reader.  These are properly licensed for about a year. I get "License for product has stopped working".  Have 2 pending cases open with Adobe support (one for Dreamweaver trial, one for license problem) since 8/3 with NO ANSWERS - It says answers within 1-3 business days.  Was on phone support hold today for over 3 hours before line went dead with no help.  What is up with adobe support?  Can anyone help?

  • Can't run FW CS3! "Licensing for this product has stopped working."

    I purchased and downloaded FW CS3 this morning. I received my
    serial number and once the file had completed downloading I ran the
    installer. Everything seems to be working fine, and the install
    finished without a hitch. I then tried to open the application as
    was greeted with the following error message:

    You cannout use this product at this time. You must repair
    the problem by unistalling and then reinstalling this product of

    help."
    I've unistalled (using the adobe utility) and reinstalled
    twice without any luck.
    I'm on OS X 10.4.9 w/an Intel Core Duo and 1GB of ram. I had
    previously installed the Fireworks CS 3 Beta, but uninstalled it a
    month or so ago.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • License for this product has stopped working cs3

    I have cs3 web premium and premier elements and I was considering purchasing CS5 but until I can get a clear message AND PERMANENT SOLUTION to why I am now getting for the 5th time the error "license for this product has stopped working."  I was working on a important project and now I have to reinstall everything again.  This is such an issue that I have read the many many  "solutions" Adobe provides for this but I tried them and they did not work.  Adobe, what are you doing about this?

    What version of Premiere Elements are you using?
    I have Premiere Elements 4, 7, and 8 and have recently run into problems characterized by not being able to open any of the 3 versions that I have installed on the same computer. (I use one at a time.)
    Hunt as posted a link
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405970.html
    where I would suggest that you especially look at Solution #2 regarding the FLEXnet Licensing Service.
    This turned out to be the fix for my Premiere Elements, as well as the Photoshop Elements, for my opening failures for these programs.
    Another possible consideration is to open a new computer User Account (with Administrative Priviledges) and run your Premiere Elements using that new User Account. That worked for me recently when the Photoshop Elements 8 Organizer would not open after just about every trick in the book.
    Keep in mind that problems may have the same symptoms but different causes. Nonetheless, I would recommend this Solution #2 to your attention, and then, if necessary, a new User Account (with Administrative Priviledges). Premiere Elements is but one application in your computer environment, and many non Premiere Elements factors can enter into the performance of the Premiere Elements in that computer environment.
    Please keep us updated on your progress.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS4 message: "Licensing for this product has stopped working." I have the serial number but not the media. How do I use the software?

    I recently tried to use Photoshop CS4 that I have on my computer but I get the message:"Licensing for this product has stopped working." I have the serial number but not the media. How can I use this version?

    You can get the installer here: Download CS4 products
    It will install as a fully functional 30 day trial. Entering your serial number will convert it to a permanent version, Standard or Extended, depending on what serial number you purchased.
    If you still have the license problem. get back to me with your OS details and the error code.

  • Had to restore my iMac from Time Machine. After the restoration all programs are functioning except my Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium. When I start any program in the suite the error message, "Licensing for this product has stopped working." I rest

    I had to restore my iMac from Time Machine. After the restoration all programs are functioning except my Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium. When I start any program in the suite the error message, "Licensing for this product has stopped working." I restarted the computer and tried again to run Photoshop and the same error message appeared. The message was followed by a message that stated that I needed to contact Adobe technical support and mention Error: 150.30. I need Adobe technical support to provide me a solution for my problem so I can continue using my Adobe products installed on my computer.

    Unfortunately when Adobe products are restored from backup, especial CS4 and especially Mac, it breaks licensing.
    There is a python script included in the license recovery kit that should work if you are familiar with Terminal.
    If not, you must reinstall your CS4 suite.  You don't need to delete your preferences, so it should be the same as before.

    If you can not use CS4 menu Help>Activate|Deactivate to get the install working again you may need to re-install CS4.
