CS4 registration problem

I just got done installing photoshop CS4 upgrade. Everything went fine installing and updating. Everything seems to be working fine. Registration screen poped up I completed it and clicked Register. Box poped up that said it would register next time I had a internet conection. I have one....it found the updates fine on line. If I go to help....Registration the form is still there and if I click send the same box comes up.....I don`t get it. Does anyone know what might be up with this............Peter

Ok, here is the manual way to do it if you have already registered and it keeps popping up.
Ensure folders is set up to see hidden file folders.
Go to C drive, Users, your name, Appdata, Roaming, Adobe.
In that folder you will see something like co.adobe.330.en_US.Registration
Open that folder in notepad
At the top you will see the word later or the word later may not be there
What you want to do is delete the word later and type in never. Now the word never will be at the top
Choose file then click save then close out.
Badda bing badda boom.

How to get rid of the CS4 registration number?

Hi, I'm running into a problem as usual with the Adobe upgrades. Not just their fault! After installing on my desktop Mac, I copied my disk to my Powerbook's new drive and added a fresh OS install. Now, the CS4 apps won't launch and I get the usual message: registration informations are obsolete. How do I get from here? If I delete (un-install) and re-install CS4, the problem persists (Installer doesn't ask for the rego). Which file(s) should I manually trash?
CS4 has a feature to clear registration numbers, but to access the command, one of the CS4 apps must be launched, which is not possible. Is there something in one of the numerous small programs that have been added to the suite? Thanks for your time!

error 150:30
I could get there, finally, but had to tweak things manually....
The Adobe installers become increasingly fussy. I already had a recurrent failure when I installed CS3. After much time lost in investigations (I first thought that having installed a demo previously was the cause), almost by chance, I found on the Adobe website a diagnostic tool for CS3. It reported that the failure to install was due to a broken link alias present in the ColorSync folder. This diagnostic tool is now included in the CS4 installation in a more user friendly form, though still not fully efficient for the end user (no clear explanation for some error codes). Running Adobe Support Advisor returned a link to a support page mentioning that a problem came during installation from the inability to over-write some fonts that were locked, and advised to unlock all fonts. I did it by click info on the font folders and by unlocking the folders and all contents (not forgetting the Adobe Fonts folder). Re-installed for the fifth time after running another CS4 clean script, CS4 elements search and delete, and additional Acrobat and Dreamweaver removal. No change, still the same error message at launch! :- (
Error message was: Product License is no longer valid. Below, it was mentioned that the computer needed to be restarted to use the product, etc. Error 150:30. It was in fact two different problems summed up in one message, hence the difficulty to figure a way out. The Font folder problem reported by ASA was not the only problem, and overwriting another file was probably the culprit, as I found here next:
A search for error 150:30 on Google returned a helpful link:
Amitoj Singh, "AMT Subsystem Failure Error is Ridiculous!" #2, 10 Nov 2007 9:14 am Had I found that link earlier, it would have saved my day and a next morning headache!
User Irridiaskye's post is about FLEXnet. I'm not sure, but this seems to be a folder that keeps registration process records. I actually didn't do exactly what Cindy did, but the result is probably the same.
Here's what worked for me:
Found the folder in Library/ Application Support/ FLEXnet Publisher/ Service. Displaced the folders named 11.5.0 from the Service folder to the desktop (mind if you have CS3 still running, the older folder named 11.03.005 could be for it, though it's just speculations from my part).
Found the folder Library/ Preferences/ FLEXnet Publisher/ FLEXnet. Removed the tsf and log files.
Restarted the computer. Photoshop launched, fit and active without asking anything more. I could upgrade the suite from the web.
It should be nice if the un-installers could deal with such problems linked with old registration files, wrong aliases and the like! Copying drive contents to a new hard drive or to a book, instead of spending days re-installing dozens of programs that needs to be updated is just normal life, even if it's certainly not optimal. Anyway, two days spent installing CS4 is perhaps not that bad. I know, some out there are still pulling their hair at it!
Thanks for your help!

Cisco 9951 and cucme registration problem

Hi Everybody
I am trying to register a cisco 9951 phone to a cucme. The phone was previosly connected and registered to a cucm 9.1, now it must be registered in the cucme. The problem is that the status messages of the phone show that the phone has 9.3(2) firmware version and the cucme has 9.2(1) sip9951.9-2-2SR1-9.loads. It means that the phone has a higher version than the version in the router flash (cucme).
I tryed tod download a newer cucme file-set but the last version available in cisco.com is the 10.0 and it has the sip9951.9-2-2SR1-9.loads file which is still older than the version in the phone. So the phone doesnt register.
I follow step by step the instructions to configure and register ip sip phones to cucme. but I am stock.
here is the configuration:voice register global

CS4 Crashing Problems - Questions

Just curious in regards to all of these "CS4 Crashing" problems.
1) Before updating to Snow leopard, did you people do due diligence by at the very least checking the S.M.A.R.T. status of your drives and do a Permission Repair first BEFORE updating?
2) Did you make a clone of your working perfectly Leopard disk, or at least do a current (minutes before) Time machine backup?
3) Did you check first which 3rd party extensions such as those by Unsanity (FontCard), YouControl(Font), Growl, etc. that will NOT play nice with Snow Leopard yet until they are updated (if ever?)... and pre-update delete them?
4) Did you check to make sure that all of your fonts have been disabled and those that are NOT specifically from Apple, are removed from the User Font folders... and NOT set to load at startup?
Now after all of that... did ya still "freely" and without a gun to your head, update to Snow Leopard... a brand spankin' new (dot.zero) OS release and expect absolutely NO bugs: small, large or just inconvenient for the time being?
And now your whining here?... and complaining to Apple?
Have any of you considered reverting to your clone of Leo 10.5.8 until certain issues (yours) have been fail-safely fixed?
For the record, I did a straight-up SL update on a 2.16 CoreDuo MBP, and a 2008 8-core MacPro with NO problems! Everything working fine in 32-bit and 64-bit (MacPro), including even FreeHand under Rosetta.
NOTE: check your fonts!!! Whenever something crashes here or at any of my clients unexpectedly, font and/or font cache corruption has been the main culprit, now for over 20 years(!)

CS4 Export Problem

I have an external hard drive to which I export my encoded CS4 video files once I have finished editing. The problem is that, in doing so, space seems to be used also on my C drive. I need to find and delete these files on my C drive once my PP project files are rendered to my external drive. I have looked in temp files but they not there. Can anyone advise me on this?

That's done it S.V. Many thanks!

If you're using Vista you might be making the same mistake as me.

Don't click through and try and find it, TYPE it like you would an internet address in a web browser.

CS4 Installation Problem on Mac - Error 2

I have tried for several hours to make the new install of Adobe CS4 work. The Lightroom2 install worked fine. Background: I have a macbook pro, OS/X 10.5.7, enough avail disk space. I had a trial version of LR2 and full CS2. I have done the following: checked "repair permissions" - an OS/X utility that interfered with operating Capture NX a couple years ago, so I added that step. I have uninstalled every Adobe application, using Clean Script 3 and Clean Script 4. I have tried to install CS4 in a separate user account, which has since been deleted, and again both Clean Scripts have been run. I have restarted my computer and downloaded a fresh version of CS4. I have tired to install it as a Tial version instead of an upgrade, also. It NEARLY installs, but at the very end of the install bar, after Bridge and before finishing Photoshop installation, I get a big red X and an error and find it is Error 2. The Adobe support pdf's have not helped, including those referenced by their little support bot.
Have spent a couple hours with Adobe Support, also. No one knows what Error 2 means.
Also, the "support" person closed my case as though it had been resolved - said he would call me back in one hour and 2ours 45 minutes later had not called back. He CLOSED the case, wasting my time and lying to me.

I have just committed the cardinal sin of allowing my daughter to install Adobe CS4 Web Premium on my new Mac Pro 2.26 8 Core.
I use this computer for pro music composition, and until I allowed my daughter to talk me into letting her use it for Adobe Web Premium (24" Apple screen, she has a PC laptop), it was strictly a no fly zone.
My worst fears were realized.
Neither she, nor I, can't get a clean install. Each attempt is greeted by a 'Successful but with Errors' or some such garbage. I have submitted a support requerst but have had no reply.
The new Mac died. Apple replaced it with a new computer under Applecare Warranty, and a new hard disk, but still the problem remains.
I've tried a new partition; nope.
I get the folling error codes:
Adobe CSI CS4
Error:
Error 2.
Adobe Device Central CS4
Error:
Error 2.
Adobe Drive CS4

Adobe Extension Manager CS4

I tried to download the Adobe Support Advisor, but it would not download. I have erased the registration, followed the instructions to the letter.
Nothing.
Adobe help in Australia were polite but did not resolve the problem. I called again and was greeted by a call centre somewhere in the Third World by someone who knew less about computers that they did about Adobe products. This poor person probably has a good job within his impoverished community, but undoubtedly paid a pittance (or why would Adobe set up a Call Centre in India), which make s it really hard to vent my frustrations without appearing racist.
I am attempting to take over the problem as there is no way a seventeen year old girl could negotiate this. I can't.
Has anybody any clues?
Appreciate any help. I can't access my daughter's email which the product is registered through at Adobe, as it is on her school computer which is connected through the school server, but my email is [email protected].
Appreciate any help. Or the contact details of a good hit-man.

InDesign CS4 install problems on a MAC....HELP!!

I have ALL versions of InDesign from 1. through to CS5 except for ID CS4. My client wants me to utilize this for a major project we are doing, so there won't be any problem with up/down saving etc. I am using a Macbook Pro and I have a licensed version of CS4 and for whatever reason I can not get it to load. I tried this more than a year ago before CS5 came out....couldn't even get the trial version to work. I have deleted ALL CS3 and CS5 applications and done an Adobe clean suite sweep. Still it takes the registration number and then after spending all the time to upload it says "license is expired". I've never even heard of a license expiring and would wonder, but this is their multi-license copy that several people are using AND it has said that with any copy I've tried to upload. I tried it with the internet off, of course restarting before each time to have a clean trash bin and fresh start. I've tried every way I can think of and it has cost me a whole day of work! I even crossed my fingers and rubbed my lucky penny....no luck at all! There must be something in there that's keeping it from being able to load. OH, did I tell you I even set up another user and tried it that way?
I'm out of options and would appreciate and advice and help.

I have tried and tried to post on the forums again. Signed in with 2 different names (don't ask!) and still can't get a new topic button. Here is my issue:

Do you by chance have a tip??? Please?!!

1. Install software
2. If you get a "licesnse expired" notice the...
3. Change the date on your computer to Dec. 20, 2008 (it's stated differently in the Adobe info, but the phone support stated this date).
4. Launch the app or any of the CS apps if you've loaded more.
5. Go to HELP> Deactivate>Erase my serial number.
6. Close the program.
7. Open each application.
7. Change the date back to today's date on your computer.
8. The products should all launch correctly!

Adobe Photoshop CS4 (x64) problem on Windows7

Hi, everyone. I have a problem with Photoshop CS4 (x64) running on Windows7 (x64). When I try to launch x64 version I get message "Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." It was working fine before and only today it have broken. By the way, Photoshop CS4 (x86) works perfect, I can't launch only x64 version. Have you any idea how to solve this problem?

LMS application registration problem

Hi,
I have a problem with the application registration of Campus Manager 5.2.1 under LMS 3.2.
Right now in the "Functional" tab of the LMS portal the "Campus Manager" view is empty.
In "Common Services" - "Server" - "Home Page Admin" - "Application Registration" Campus Manager is missing in the list of registered applications.
I can connect to the Campus Manager using the direct link http://<servername>:1741/campus/adminIntro.do.
The "CM" tab on the LMS portal page works.
I tried to register it this way:
In the CS Homepage Admin I click on "Register" - "Register from Templates" - "Next"
Then I get the list of templates. I select "Campus Manager" - "Next".
I enter these values:
Server name: fully qualified name of the server
Server Display Name: hostname of the server
Port: 1741
Protocol: http
When I click on "Next" - "Finish" the Campus Manager is not added to the list of registered application and I get no error message.
Did I enter wrong values? Where can I find corresponding log/debug messages?

It sounds like the CMIC database may be corrupt. There is a process to recover this, but it's somewhat complicated. If you open a TAC service request, your engineer can walk you through the process. This will clear out the CMIC database and reregister all applications. That should sort you out.

Dreamweaver CS4 interface problems in Win 7 Ultimate 64bit

I'm experiencing some frutratingly bizzare behavior with Dreamweaver CS4 and Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and I'm hoping someone might now how to fix the issues.
1) When creating a new site by selecting "Site/New Site..." or "Site/Manage Sites..." the fields for selecting "Local root folder" and "Default images folder" always select a directory above where I tell it.
For example if I tell it to use "E:\ClientFiles\Client\website\" it always selects "E:\ClientFiles\Client\". and the only solution is to write in the proper directory manually.
2) Possibly related to the above targeting problem. In a document, even an new empty xhtml, if I place an image on the page and double click on that image to replace it with another I get the dialog box for selecting the new image, but on pressing "OK" nothing happens. The same thing occurs if I select the fodler icon in the properites at the bottom. The only methods that work are either deleting the placed image and then placing a new image or deleting the "Src" info in the "properties" panel and then clicking the folder icon next to "Src".
You can see how this would get frustrating after a while.
I've tried a complete reinstall of CS4, deleting the Dreamweaver cache file, and I get the same behavior on my laptop which is also running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
Any help would be appreciated. I've submitted this behavior to Adobe support as well in hops that it can some how be resolved.

Both are known issues in DW on Win 7 and Vista. It's not just 64 bit.
Until Adobe issues a patch, the workarounds you describe are the only solutions for the timebeing.

Adobe Bridge to CS4 Batch Problem

I hope this is the correct forum for this post as I don't know if its a Bridge or CS4 problem.
If I carry out various adjustments in ACR from within bridge, then select a number of the adjusted files and run the CS4 Batch from within Bridge. (I.e. Tools|PhotoShop|Batch...) I'm given the option of the action to run and each file is loaded into CS4 and the action runs file.
The problem is that not all the adjustments made are transfered into CS4 - the most obvious one being any crops.
If I open the same files in CS4 - as in File|Open, then all the adjustments are present.
Have I got something set incorrectly or is this a bug?
Thanks
Mark

I've been having similar loss of adjustments...and haven't got a solution. It seems to me the following happens:
If I launch Photoshop CS4 32bit, open Bridge, and start a batch process, the adjustment from the first opened RAW file is used for ALL files being processed.
If I launch Bridge before and start a batch process, Photoshop CS4 64bit is automatically launched and each image is properly processed using each file's settings. Acutally, I'm not 100% sure I ever have this problem with the 64bit Photoshop even when I launch it first.
At first I thought I was losing my mind...some settings are too subtle to see differences when I quickly glance through a bulk group of photos. But lately I have processed some photos as black and white...and you know something is wrong if ALL of your batch processed photos suddenly show up black and white.

thanks for the reply I have windows VISTA and yes

Bridge CS4 causing problem with Explorer

The following problem occurred after adjusting the Preference settings in Bridge CS4:
When right clicking on any folder in either the Explorer or on the Desktop the following message is displayed "Windows Explorer has stopped working..."
This is now the second time, after having created two new User Accounts. While Explorer worked perfectly for a couple of days before adjusing the settings in Birdge, I cannot undo what has caused this problem and am reluctant to setup yet another user account. Also, I can't figure out which setting change might have caused this.
Is it possible that by adjusting the settings in Bridge it added a shell extension to Windows Explorer?
Has anyone here encountered a similar problem after adjusting the settings in Bridge?
Cheers,
Michael
Ps. this has also been posted in the Phtoshop forum

Sorry, did not read your mail before sending the first answer...
Glad it works again. Remember that OSX is Unix based and does not like
strange caracters in folder and file names, and no slashes or dot's except
the dot before a three caracter file extension.
