CS4 error 150:30 with Yosemite

Hello
I've tried everything all 9 "solutions" here: Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Mac OS
including a reinstall of Yosemite. Nothing works.
I have the Adobe CS4 cds, with box and serial numbers, one computer running it... etc
Please help!

I'm working on the same sort of problem...
Some people say their CS4 still works on 10.10, so I'm trying to make it work.
Apparently, migrating/restoring from a backup is something adobe doesn't like, so it either gets scrambled or deauthorizes your computer.
Did you uninstall CS4 this way?
Like Gener7 said:
Uninstall, check Remove Preferences
Do a Repair Permissions from Disk Utility
Reinstall from discs, and if you do not have them, download from here:
Download CS4 products
(Updates here:)
Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh
Or try what they suggest here:
150:30
Oh, and make sure everything's updated.
Hope that helps!

How do I overcome error 150:30 with a replacement system hard drive on a Mac Pro?

I have replaced my system hard disk drive on a Mac Pro and used Mac 'Restore' to restore the complete system from a Time Machine backup. Everything else works correctly, except my current Adobe products (InDesign CS4 and Photoshop CS4) both give a licensing error code 150:30 and each suggest contacting Adobe technical support.
Can you help?
Blair Cramond

Thanks for your reply. Is it necessary to uninstal the existing CS4
products before re-installing?

Photoshop CS4 Error 150:30

I had my hard drive replaced in my mac and when I hookup up time mating I'm having trouble with my photoshop cs4 working. It's giving me Error 150:30 Not sure what to do.

Kim Stahnke did you install the software on the replacement hard drive or copy/migrate the application and licensing files?

Error 150:30 with re-installed software

I just changed computers and transferred my profile through time machine from a Mac to a new Mac. All my programs were transferred but when I try to launch any product of the suite CS4 I purchased and activated on my previous computer I get a message saying "Licensing for this prodict has stopped working...error 150:30".
Please let me know what I have to do to get the software working properly again.
Thank you very much.

With Adobe software, it's usually better to uninstall and reinstall so that the licensing mechanism is set up correctly.

CS4 Error 150:30 student license

Migrated CS4 to a new Mac pro with OS Lion. Get error 150:30.
Tried downloading license repair dmg file, deactivaated old license on old computer, no result and seems cannot talk to a human at Adobe because it is Sunday.
Any ways round this?

You can try the instructions in this document, which applies to the "150: 30" error message: Error "Licensing has stopped working." If you want person-to-person support, I recommend our chat support at http://adobe.ly/v6wfLL. They'll be able to address the issue you've described. And while they aren't available on weekends, they are available during the week, I believe until 7pm PST.

Mac OS 10.10, CS4: Error 150: 30 "License has stopped working"

I recently did a hard drive restore from Time Machine. I'm running OS 10.10 (Yosemite) and have worked my way through the recommended solutions to Error 150:30, as per the Adobe support site. However, none of them specifically point to OS 10.10- most only go as high as OS 10.8. What can be done to correct the problem within the 10.10 system, without completely re-installing the software?
Thank you

Error 150.30 with Photoshop Elements

My Windows 7 PC died, and I've transferred photographs to my old Dell XP machine. When I execute Elements, I get the error 150.30 message asking me to restart the maching. I did that, but still get the error when executing Adobe.

Unable to open CS4 - error 150:30

I've been using CS4 just fine for a long time. Suddenly when I try to open it I get an error dialog telling me that my licensing has expired. Error code 150:30. As far as I can tell, nothing has changed. I tried uninstall and then reinstall from original disk. No luck. Contacted Adobe Support. First they told me to remove the FlexNet Publisher preferences folder from my Library folder at root level. There is not such folder there. They then told me to modify permissions on one of the folders. Did that but still no success. Also tried repairing all disk permissions via Mac disk utility. Still no luck. Now they tell me that they can't/won't give further support because my version is too old (apparently only CS6 and CS5 qualify for support).
I am running this on Mac OS 10.7.5.
Only thing I have done that I can trace as a possible culprit was that I installed a new film scanner. As part of its software install it started to install a bundled copy of Photoshop Elements. I aborted that install. Subesequent to that I discovered I could not open my copy of CS4. There may be no relation but that is one thing I've wondered about.
If anyone can help, I would sure appreciate it.

Try CS4 licencing.

Uninstalling Photoshop CS4 from a Mac with Yosemite, which cannot open CS4.

I have Photoshop CS4 installed on a Mac. I recently upgraded to Yosemite and now am not able to open it. The Java OS that is recommended to solve the problem refuses to download. Thus I would like uninstall Photoshop CS4 but cannot do so. Please help from your end. It is my MacBook Pro 13". I DO NOT want to uninstall it from my MacBook Pro 17". Only from my 13" Can you help me?

Ok. That should be fine. There is a CS/CC Cleaner tool as well. It removes installation records according to the description.

My canon T5i raw photos won't load into PS CS4 on my Mac with Yosemite

I Recently got a new Canon T5i. I also had to get a new hard drive for my Mac, it came with Yosemeti on it. I am unable to open RAW photos in my PS CS4. I downloaded the 7.4 update but it still won't work. Any suggestions?

Unfortunately, photoshop cs4 can only use up to camera raw 5.7, so you can use the 8.7 dng converter to convert the canon T5i files to dng copies which photoshop cs4 should then open.

CS4 error 150:30

My Mac had to be replaced and I used my backup hard drive to load the new one. Nothing in CS4 will boot, giving me this message about licensing. I tried to follow the instructions to repair this -- cannot locate the folders they say are buried in my hidden library.

You cannot find anything because they are not there. You need to reinstall the software properly, not use obscure backups.

Problem with new iMac (with Yosemite): Licensing has stopped working Error 150:30

I have just bought a new iMac and used the Migration Assistant to transfer all my existing programs from my old computer.
When I try to launch my copy of InDesign CS4, I get the error message:
Licensing for this product has stopped working
Error 150:30
Because new iMacs do not have disk drives, I cannot reinstall using my original DVD disks.
Adobe’s online support team have said they are unable to help.
The Licensing Repair application does not work in Yosemite
Does anyone have any suggestions?
With many thanks
Greg

Download CS4 products
And fix the permissions on the relevant Library folders. The rest is between you and your Mac - as far as Adobe are concerned, CS4 is officially not compatible with Yoesemite.

Photoshop CS4 Extended - error 150:30 - "LicenseRecoveryLauncher" not supported on Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10

I recently upgraded to Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10
When I try to open Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended it says error 150:30 Licensing for this product has stopped working.
I followed the help advice which says to download some software to mend the problem but it wont launch - error message You can’t open the application “LicenseRecoveryLauncher” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
How can I fix the problem?

OS 10.7 and above uses the python script (.py) which is included in the License Recovery kit.
Mac OS X 10.7
a. Double-click the LicenseRecovery111.dmg
Note: Leave this window open and proceed to the next step.
b. Double-click your Hard Drive.
c. Double-click Applications.
d. Double-click Utilities.
e. Double-click Terminal.
f. Type “sudo python “
Note: There is a space following “python”. Do not press Return.
g. Drag LicenseRecover.py from the LicenseRecovery folder onto the Terminal Window and press Return. Note: Make sure that the Terminal window has the command and the path to the APP file. For example: "sudo python /Volumes/LicenseRecovery\ 11.6.1/LicenseRecovery/LicenseRecover.py”
h. Enter your administrator user name and password when prompted and click OK.
i. Follow the onscreen instructions.

Error 150:30 on new iMac with Yosemite

I upgraded from an 8-year old iMac to a new iMac with Yosemite. After migrating everything over, I can't run PSE because it said some files were missing. I re-installed the software using my original disk. Then I got a 150:30 Error. Help!

You can never, never migrate an installed copy of PSE. It's just too complex and has bits scattered all over your hard drive. Unfortunately, one of the things that does migrate is the file that tells PSE it's not on the authorized drive anymore. To deal with this at this point you will need to download and run this:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
After which you can go around and manually remove all the bits of PSE that you can find, not only from Applications, but also from the library at the top level of your hard drive>application support>adobe, and your username>library>preferences. Spotlight will not help you here; it's programmed to skip these kinds of files. If you need help finding those libraries, post back.
