CS4 License Error 3?

CS4 just stopped loading, giving me a "Licensing for this product has stopped working" and "Error: 3" messages.
I don't know if it has anything to do with having just installed Lightroom 5. Haven't used CS4 in a while, but it didn't give me any problems previously.
I do know that my Adobe customer service chat experience is a half hour of my life I'd like back, since all I could get out of the utterly confused and unhelpful agent between loooooong lags (like talking to a six year old who's watching tv) was "it's a technical issue" (no, REALLY?) and after a few more exchanges, "CS4 is the older version product is the no more support for this product." Then he gave me a link to this forum and essentially checked out. Oh, but not before "Is there anything else I can help you with?"
I'd be grateful if anyone could be of more help than the paid Adobe employee.

Thanks for taking the time to direct me to that. Since I was directed by Customer Service to post here (never mind that the agent couldn't come up with that link), I did so first but subsequently found it. Unfortunately, it still hasn't resolved my issue, as:
1) I don't have the FlexNet Publisher preferences folder,
2) The License Repair Tool will not run on my OS X Mavericks machine, and
3) Repairing disk permissions does nothing.
I will keep moving down the list of solutions once I've gotten some sleep, but the complaints I've seen elsewhere suggest I may have a complete reinstall in my near future, and I'll be lucky if that resolves the issue....

Photoshop CS4 Licensing error

I'm using my Photoshop CS4 for a long time now but on Tuesday it suddenly crashed saying some Licensing error occured and I have to restart my computer to solve the problem. The restart didn't help. I've read, that there is a License Repair Tool, so firstly I've downloaded that one, trying to repair the product. Nothing has changed. The next step was to reinstall the whole product. I also had some difficulties to remove it, because the uninstaller didn't want to start. After removing it with the Creative Suite cleaning tool and removing the nessecary files the reinstalled progmam showed the same message. Also tried to remove the latest Windows updates installed that day without success. Is there any solution for my problem? I have a CS5 upgrade also installed and it's working, but I prefer the CS4 for some reasons.

I've cleand out, but it just showed me another error message (I think the error 6: configuration error) with both the CS4 and the CS5. So I removed all of them, deleted all Adobe files related to CS4 or CS5 and installed them again. The message is the same (Error 150:30), when I start the CS4, but the CS5 works fine. (I've tried it on another computer and it's working there) How can I make sure the service is running correctly or where can I start it manually?

CS4 Licensing Error 150:30

After re-installing OS X my CS4 applications are not working.
I keep getting message "Licensing Error 150:30"

The Licensing repair tool does work. OSX 10.7 and above:
Download and open LicenseRecovery111.dmg on your Desktop
Open Terminal and type sudo and leave a space. <do not press "Enter" yet>.
Open the License Folder on the opened LicenseRecovery111.dmg and drag
"LicenseRecover.py" file into the Terminal Window.
The sudo command and path to the .py file should look like the screenshot below.
Press Enter to begin
Type in your password, but know that you will not see dots or asterisks as you type.
Press Enter again, let the script run and finish. You should be able to run Photoshop now.

Photoshop CS4 - Licensing Error 150:30

I have a MacBook with the OS X Maverick Operating System and have had no prior issues using my Photoshop CS4. My computer recently crashed and had to have my operating system re-installed. I tried to open up Photoshop today and this window popped up: "Licensing for this product has stopped working". I tried restarting the computer like the window mentioned and that did nothing. I also tried the solutions listed on the Adobe website for the Error: 150:30 and nothing has worked. My main problem is I cannot finish the "solutions" because I cannot locate the folder "FlexNet" or "FlexNet Licensing" or anything of that nature that is referred to in the solutions.

Dreamweaver CS4 keeps showing a licensing error 150:30. Any ideas?

I am running Dreamweaver CS4 on a MacBook Pro. After a Mac OSX update earlier today Dreamweaver keeps showing a licensing error 150:30 and the only solution on line is not suitable for OS 10.9.5. Any ideas?

The terminal app option worked but after a restart I got the error message again. It worked a second time but then another restart brought me back to the beginnin. Have repaired permissions and tried the other potential solutions. I only use DW CS4 once in a while but I'd love a permanent solution.

CS4 not running on new MBP, licensing error?!

My 2008 MBP finally bit it and I just got a new MBP with Mavericks. I transferred my old drive over to the new computer but I can't get CS4 to work. It keeps saying there's a licensing error (150:30). Help!!

The CS4 apps should work fine in Mavericks - it sounds as if you're having a problem stemming from Adobe.
If I were you, I would contact Adobe support and see if they have a solution for your problem. It would also be good to know exactly how you transferred the files - you may have to completely reinstall CS4 again to get all of the support files in place.
Good luck,

I've just installed Mountain Lion 10.8.5, but now the CS programs are giving me a licensing error.

I've just installed Mountain Lion 10.8.5, but now the CS4 and CS5 programs are giving me a licensing error. I've restarted. Uninstalled, reinstalled. And still, they don't work. I need to stay at 10.8.5 and not go to Maverick, per a client's needs at this time. Help!

I've also tried this...that I found in another discussion...also did not work.
Solution 1: Delete the FlexNet Publisher preferences folder
- Quit all Adobe applications.
- On your startup disk, locate and delete the following folder:
[hard drive]/Library/Preferences/FlexNet Publisher/

By courtesy of R_Kelly:
The 150:30 error means licensing broke.
Two ways to fix this: If you are used to the Terminal app, you download the license recovery package and following instructions carefully, you use the python script in the package. Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Mac OS
If for some reason it doesn't, reinstall CS4 from your discs, or download the CS4 installer here.

Have your serial number ready.

How do I solve a 150:30 Licensing Error?

I recently upgraded my OS and now CS4 won't launch. It gives me a "150:30 Licensing Error." How do I resolve this? Thanks.

The easiest way is often to uninstall, re-download the software and re-install from scratch.

App-V 5 Adobe Creative Cloud (CC) Enterprise Licensing Error 213:19

Hello, I've posted this on Adobe forums but also posting here to see if anyone else has experienced/overcome this issue.
I'm attempting to create an App-V 5 sequence for Adobe Creative Cloud Enterprise software, but I appear to be getting licensing errors when launching the App-V sequence.
From what I understand in Adobe Create Cloud Enterprise, the licensing restrictions which tie the license to the machine have now been removed so that the base packages can be created with serial numbers and can be included within build images etc as opposed
to creating a trial package and then using a serialization file at install/launch time.
To start with I've created a package using the Adobe Creative Cloud Packager tool (CCP) for just the Illustrator CC application which includes the serial number. I've then sequenced this package using App-V 5 SP1.
When I run this app-v sequence on a test machine , Illustrator loads but I end up with a 213:19 error. Looking in the amt3.log the full error is
09/24/13 16:58:35:478 | [ERROR] | | | | SLCoreService | | | 5624 | error deleting bad mkey:
09/24/13 16:58:35:478 | [ERROR] | | | | SLCoreService | | | 5624 | Could not load machine key

09/24/13 16:58:35:539 | [ERROR] | | | | ALMService | | | 5624 | ERROR: License_Check error 213:19. (Errno = 2)
I've tested out modifying permissions on the following folders within the app-v package under root but this has no effect.
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\SLStore
I've also tried creating a package using a trial licence and then using the adobe_prtk.exe tool to serialize the product at launch (startprocess event in userconfig file) with no success.
Anyone tried this or have any ideas?

Hello, thanks for the reply.
I have read those articles (multiple times :-)) I've installed the required c++ redistributables on the sequencer and also on the test machines.
I'm not getting any errors being reported in the App-V eventlogs.
I initially used the adobe_prtk.exe tool to serialize the app-v application at launch via startprocess in the userconfig file as shown. This runs but it doesn't work around this issue.
<UserScripts>
      <StartProcess RunInVirtualEnvironment="true">
        <Path>[{AppVPackageRoot}]\..\Scripts\adobe_prtk.exe</Path>
        <Arguments>--tool=VolumeSerialize --provfile=[{AppVPackageRoot}]\..\Scripts\prov.xml</Arguments>
        <Wait RollbackOnError="true"/>
<ApplicationId>[{AppVPackageRoot}]\Support Files\Contents\Windows\Illustrator.exe</ApplicationId>
      </StartProcess>
    </UserScripts>
Following that I read that AAMEE 3.1 removed the (http://blogs.adobe.com/oobe/2012/09/aamee-3-1or-why-puffer-fish-is-a-delicacy.html) machine to license issue
therefore allowing packages to be created using serial numbers and to be included within build images.
As I'm packaging Creative Cloud (not CS6), I'm assuming this has been carried into the Creative Cloud Packager for Enterprise which now must be used.
Any other ideas appreciated.

Licensing Error 6 After Clean Installing Mac OS 10.8.

I think it might have something to do with the fact that I forgot to back up the Photoshop Elements Library and Application Support files...I can't find any of the stuff they reference in the Licensing Error 6 Troubleshooting guide.
Is there way I can reinstall the application without having to buy it again? Do I need to give Adobe some information or something?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Okay, that never works. PSE isn't a tidy package like most mac apps. The installer strews stuff all over your hard drive like buckshot, most of it in places outside where apple says programs should install things. You will need to download and run this:
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
Then manually delete all the bits you can find. Don't just check applications, but also hard drive>library>application support, and your username>library>preferences. (Let me know if you don't know how to find these.)
You will need to do a complete install. If you are talking about PSE 10 (which version is this, by the way?), you can download the trial and enter your serial number into that.

Getting a License Error while installing UFT 12.01 trial version

You may want to try reposting your question on the forums specifically for the UFT product. Here's the link.

Licensing Errors after recovering from Time Machine to an external Hard Drive

My internal HD failed and I'm temporarily using an external drive as my primary HD. I loaded all my data from my time machine backup onto the external drive temporarily until my new mac arrives (next week). Now, I'm getting licensing error code 150:30 when I try to open Photoshop. It says rebooting can fix it. It has not fixed the issue. Any recommendations? I need to work on some files now and am stuck.
Thanks!

Yes. This is very common. Photoshop must never be migrated or transferred, because the license is tied to the Mac and moving it breaks the license.
The cure is simple. Reinstall using your discs and don't forget to apply the updates. You will be starting at 11.0.0.

Weblogic Commerce Server3.5 license Error

I have installed Weblogic Commerce Server3.5 on my Server today. I got the same
error message when i try to start the server.

Plz let me know what is the solution for this error.
I have installed Weblogic server6.1 with SP5 along with this server
Thanks,

Hello Muffy,
It looks like you do not have WLS 5.1 service pack 6 installed correctly. I
say this because I do not see the sp6 message at the top of your log and I saw
this message in your log:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Element "weblogic-enterprise-bean" allows no
further input; "transaction-isolation" is not allowed

Adobe Flash CS4 installation error

Hello,
I just downloaded trial version of Adobe Flash CS4 (Englisth|Windows) but after unpacking the archive and starting setup.exe I am getting error msg (see att). Are there any error logs with more information??
Text is in czech language so here's translation:
-----------First window-----------
Adobe Flash CS4 - Installation Error
Installation Error
An error occured while installing. Ask for help at Adobe support.
-----------Second windows-----------
Installer of Adobe Flash CS4 application: inicialization
Checking system profile.
Is md5 hash available for integrity check of installation package?
System info:
Intel C2D 2,2Ghz
3GB RAM
about 160GB free HDD space
Windows Vista Ult. 64b
Thanks for any help!

There is no fix. Flash Pro is not compatible with Win 8 even in CS6. There are dependencies with Flash Player components and the way it's handled in Win 8 prevents it from working liek the app expects.
