CS4 Licensing suddenly stopped working.

CS4 Licensing suddenly stopped working. I was told to reinstall, however I cannot open them to deactivate the serial number. I tried the License Recovery download, but it doesn't even open like the directions read. Now what?

Contact support to reset activations, run the cleaner tool and reinstall.

It seems when i do something simple as typing text, it'll stop working and give me a "Adobe Photoshop suddenly stop working". My CS4 32bit version seems to working fine with whatever i'm working on. I'm running a fresh install of Windows 7 64bit Ultimate on a new computer Intel quad core with 4gig of ram if that helps. Sorry if this have been asked before but i couldn't find anything on these forums. Thanks in advance.

i deleted the prefs file and now i can open photoshop. but it seems as if it crashes if i open ANY file with ANY text, no matter what the font is.

My CS4 Licensing has stopped working, Error 150:30 and I can't reinstall as my disc is currently unaccessible.

I can't gain access to my install discs and I have tried all the other suggestions for fixing this problem, so I'm thinking reinstallation is the only way.
I have access to my serial number but I can't find anywhere that offers a download of CS4 as it's a bit older.

LIcensing has stopped working DreamWeaver CS4 Mac OS 10.9.4

Have followed instructions here
Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Mac OS
as much as possible.
Solution 1: I don't have [hard drive]/Library/Preferences/FlexNet Publisher/ on my hard drive so can't delete it.
Solution 2: Have tried to run license repair tool in terminal. I type sudo python then drag LicenseRecoveryLauncher.app across, but get invalid syntax returned.
I haven't gone any further than this.
I did have adobe photoshop cc trial on this machine, which I deleted and wonder whether this has now screwed up Dreamweaver (I don't use it so much these days).
Any help gratefully received, Tim

Hi magootim,
Can you try the solutions in this post?
Dreamweaver CS4 keeps showing a licensing error 150:30. Any ideas?
Thanks,

"Licensing has stopped working..." CS4 Master Collection

I have recently purchased two copies of Adobe CS4 Master Collection. The first copy was purchased on June 24th, with the first call to Customer support on June 25th.
The errors are various with 3 during installation on this vista machine and several when starting the applications. The only application that runs properly is Acrobat.
The others fail at activation screens with either BEX error in amtlib.dll or "Licensing has stopped working...” I have 3 case numbers assigned to this by tech support. I have talked to more than a dozen Tier One personnel and two Tier Two personnel. The CS4 package, at the request of various support people, has been uninstalled/re-installed 5 times. The various attempted “solutions” are well documented so I won’t post the detail here. There has been zero progress. Each support person insists on covering the same ground as the prior calls wasting time and money (mine). I have been waiting for 7 days for a return call from a Tier 2 support person.
During call two to tech support I was requested to remove all old Adobe software. So, at the time of this note, I have been 15 days without the new software working and none of my old software working. One would think that for the price charged for this Master Collection that, (A) The installation/activation process would work and (B) the customer support would be better.
I would certainly appreciate some response from Adobe with a solution to this problem. One of my case numbers is 181030791. Look in the case file, get my number, call me.

I have now logged over 9 hours on the phone with ‘support’ (as well as uninstalling and reinstalling my software) and this last genius’s solution………….. ’Set the system clock back to 2008 and run your machine for a day or two like this and I believe that will fix it!’
Can you believe this Mickey Mouse nonsense?
Also, I tell the guy that he as cost me $750 today in lost time, his reply…..’Sir, think how I feel, it takes me a month and a half to make that much’
It would be funny if it wasn’t so infuriating!

My Photoshop CS4 has stopped working - Error 148:3 (Licensing has stopped working).....help!

My Photoshop CS4 has stopped working - Error 148:3 (Licensing has stopped working).....help please?
I've not changed anything since the last time I used it but it's just refusing to work.

Ed,
It seems that there might be some gremlin in the licensing module. The PS CS4 board has several similar instances. I do not know exactly what the problem is, but this should be an easy reset by Adobe. It has worked for the PS users and requires one free telephone call. I am with Harm on this. I doubt that many, if any, users can be of much help. The installation issues *used* to be simple and quick, but I have not had to make that call, since Illustrator 3. Have your S/N handy. If you purchased from the Adobe Store, a receipt # might come in handy too. Once your product has been verified, you'll probably be asked to enter a key, and away you go.
Good luck,
Hunt

You'll need to have a chat with Adobe Support. Here's a link:

We can't help you with that here.

Licensing has stopped working is just the beginning...

About a month ago I got the error "Licensing has stopped working" when I tried to launch Photoshop CS3. I followed the steps on the forum
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-licensing-stopped-windows.html
finally uninstalled and reinstalled and my whole Creative Suite was working fine.
Suddenly a few days ago I got the same "Licensing has stopped working" error and decided since none of the other steps helped the last time except the uninstall, that I would uninstall and reinstall AGAIN.
Now when I try to reinstall I get the following message:
Installation/Reinstallation Completed
Some problems occured during installation. Please see below.
Summary
Successfully installed 2 components:
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional
Shared Components
Errors: 6 components
Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Standard
Component install failed
and so on for Illustrator, Indesign, Photoshop, Version Cue CS3 Server and Shared components.
Support will not help me because I do not have CS5.5. If you have had this happen to you please offer any advice. I was not planning to upgrade just yet.
Other information:
I am running CS3 Creative Suite on Windows Vista. It was purchased through the student program while I was in college. It was working perfectly fine until the licensing issue first appeared a month ago.

Acrobat x Pro 10.1.3 suddenly stopped working

Today Acrobat suddenly stopped working insofar as it just would not start. Looking in the task manager shows it starts then stops.
This is on a Win 7 x64.

Found this by an Adobe Staff Member if this other post http://forums.adobe.com/message/4507225#4507225 and it seems to work.

Report
For all the users who have faced a problem where Acrobat did not launch after 30 days of serializing with a suite serial number, please execute the following workaround:
Make sure you are connected to the internet.
Launch a regular CS6 product other than Acrobat or Flash Builder (for example: Photoshop, After Effects, Premier Pro, InDesign, Flash Professional, Illustrator, Dreamweaver.)
Click on Help->Deactivate .
Deactivate the application. Quit application.
Launch a regular CS6 product other than Acrobat or Flash Builder (for example: Photoshop, After Effects, Premier Pro, InDesign, Flash Professional, Illustrator, Dreamweaver.)
Accept Eula.
Register trial by signing in. Let the app launch.
Quit and relaunch the app. Wait for UI to come.
Click on License This Software button on the UI.
Click on Sign in .
Serial number screen will come
Enter the serial number in the serial number screen and click Next.
Quit app and relaunch the app while connected on the internet .
After this if you launch Acrobat it will launch and run forever without trouble. In case you still face a problem , try relaunching the other CS6 app once more and then launch Acrobat.
Feel free to send me a private message if you need any more help with this.

My Adobe Acrobat X (CS6) suddenly stopped working!

My Adobe Acrobat X (CS6) suddenly stopped working, I can't open or edit documents. I am on Windows 8.1, this just started happening yesterday. I have re-installed it to repair any possible problems, I am a registered user. Please help me!! Can't submit my assignments if I can't use my product!

The license info would be on the jewel case or CD that you got from the university. If it was downloaded, they typically provide the license key in that process that you have to write down or copy. As long as you are still covered under the license, maybe another individual has the license key available. It would be appropriate for them to ask for confirmation on your payment of the license fee or whatever process the university has.
In the meantime, go to the Start>Control Panel>Programs & ... When the program list comes up search for Acrobat.exe and do a repair.

Licensing has stopped working on CS 4 Error 150:30

How do I fix this error and run my CS 4 again?

The 150:30 error is a common problem which occurs when you recover Photoshop CS4 from a backup or transfer to another computer. The simplest way to clear it up is to re-install CS4. Here is a link to the installers: Download CS4 products
You can use your discs or the downloads from the provided link. Either way, have your serial number ready...
If this fails, I am going to direct you to this thread: I have received the "licensing has stopped working" Error code 150:30. I have done all 8 suggested fixes and have had no luck fixing this mess. Anyone able to help.

License has stopped working (CS3): tried every fix but no dice

Hello all, my PS CS3 will not work and I've tried and tried to get it to work but it won't.   You can read everything I've done on this forum:
http://forums.dealmac.com/read.php?4,2854842,2854842
I've called Adobe 6 or 7 times now and run both scripts they've made, uninstalled and re-installed 3 times, fixed permissions, deleted the FLEXnet folder (wasn't where it was supposed to be), etc.    Adobe sent me a followup email about my case last week asking how it was going (with no reply address!) and I posted all of this on their support page for my case but have yet to hear from them.   Really, I'm surprised at how bad Adobe's customer service is. A company as successful as Adobe ought to do better!     What is especially frustrating about this is that the program worked fine before, it's just some code they created that's causing the trouble, so why can't they fix the code?   Or give me a refund? Or the upgrade to CS4?
Any help would be appreciated!

I get the "License has stopped working" mesages too.
We have a MacbookPro at home. There are two user-acounts on this mac, one for my wife and one for myself. This way we keep our personal stuff (e-mail, files, settings, dropbox, desktop clutter etc) separated. "Fast user switching" is enabled to easily switch to your personal account.
Now when I open Photoshop I might get the dreaded "License has stopped working" message. This will happen if Photoshop is left open in her account. So I'll have to log into her account, close Photoshop, go back into my own acount and open Photoshop again.
I should not get this message since Photoshop is not part of a particular user account, it is installed in the "Applications" folder which is accesible to all users.
What makes it even more annoying is that I get the "License has stopped working" message on trying to open Photoshop even when Photoshop is closed in in the other acount, but Illustrator is opened.
This makes no sense since we bought Photoshop and Illustrator CS3 as separate programs, not as a part of the Creative Suite.
I did not report this to Adobe yet but it wil do that now.
