CS4 won't start up on my new computer. The error message I get is "Licensing for this product has stopped working."
CS4 won't start up on my new computer. The error message I get is "Licensing for this product has stopped working." Both the old and new computer are MACs and the error code I get is 150:30. It says to restart the computer or open another application in the suite, but neither helps. It says if nothing helps to contact Adobe support, but this is the only way I'm given to contact adobe support. Can I really not use my purchased software on my new computer? What do I do to activate the license on the new computer?

Error number 148.3 Licensing for this product has stopped working. I rebooted several times to no avail. Still get the same error message everytime I try to start Photoshop. I'm using Windows 7 -- 64 bit
If you can not use CS4 menu Help>Activate|Deactivate to get the install working again you may need to re-install CS4.

I'm trying to migrate my CS4 from my old Mac to my new one. When trying to open photoshop, i get a message saying "Licensing for this product has stopped working." And "Error: 150:30" I don't know what to do from here. Can someone help me? Thanks.
"Migrating" and/or "transferring" an application is not just asking for trouble but demanding it!

Get "Licensing for this product has stopped working" error on my New Mac with old Adobe software
hi people, i've recently purchased a new machine and can't work out how to get Illustrator cs3 or photoshop cs5 working on it...
photoshop says "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 administrator or Adobe customer support for help", which is strange as it said some different before i tried asking adobe support about this...
illustrator says the same thing.
customer support said i need to ask here because they can't provide support for these products.thanks for response, let's start the dialogue.
what OS version?: OS version 10.9.3
Have you deactivated Photoshop on the old machine? No, i am not inclined to try this as i do need a working version for work, customer support tells me that i've purchased a serial key but they won't tell me what it is, just that i could try using it... can't find any reference to this on my machine though:(
On how many computers have you (or someone else) installed Photoshop and register with your license?1 i think..
Have you tried uninstalling, cleaning and re-installing? no, though i've tried to find out how and can't even manage that:( went to the adobe site and could only find their creative cloud thing which requires me to pay monthly:/...
thanks -
I previously installed Adobe Photoshop CS4 on my Macbook Pro. My hard drive crashed, and I had to get a new hard drive replaced. Now upon trying to reinstall CS4 from a backup copy CD (with licensing, serial number available), I receive an error 6 stating that the "licensing for this product has stopped working". Has anyone experienced this or know how to troubleshoot? Any advice appreciated. Thank you.

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.

Why will Photoshop CS4 not open after loading to new iMac from an external hard drive and I get this message: Licensing for this product has stopped working:error code: 150:30
A Photoshop installation is tied to the machine it was installed on. Moving it to or from a hard drive breaks the licensing.
The answer is easy: Reinstall CS4 from your disc. and apply all updates.

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.

I am running CS6 on a 2014 21" IMac version 10.9.5. I have an earlier version of Illustrator on CS4. When launching the CS4 Illustrator the message says "License for this product has stopped working". What can I do to get this to work?
Mylenium,
Before downloading CS4 again, how do I uninstall the versions that are currently on my Mac?
Many thanks for your help! -
I can't use my PS CS4 because it seems the licensing has stopped working. I restarted the Mac few times but this error seems to persist.
It's an extremely common error with CS4. It means the licensing is broken. For people not really familiar with Terminal, my best answer is to suggest a fresh install from your discs to fix this. You will have to reapply all updates.
Since the Help > Update part is not working well, download and install your updates (Photoshop, Bridge, Adobe Camera Raw) from here Product updates.
Usually this happens when Photoshop is moved from another computer, from a backup like Time Machine, or even as OSX upgrade to Yosemite. -
"License for this product has stopped working." CS4
The hard drive on my MacBook Pro recently crashed, and when I restored all of my previous info from Time Machine, my CS4 applications wouldn't open and I got the error message above.
I tried to follow the advice from Adobe Support here: Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Windows
Unfortunately, the first step didn't work for me because the License Recovery App for Macs is too old to be run by my system (Mac OSX 10.9.3). The other options all seem to be geared towards a PC.
Reinstalling from the discs is not an option, because I received the software (legally) as part of work I was doing on behalf of a school system, and no longer have access to the discs. I do have the serial number still, but seemingly no place where I can input it.
Can anyone help me here?Mylenium,

Why isn't iTunes very competative? Most, if not ALL TV programmes and movies are way more expensive than their DVD counterparts. Is this to make me buy, rip, and convert to watch on my iPhone? I don't feel that inclined to buy anything TBH.
