CS6 asks me to register every time I launch it - but I HAVE!!

This happens whether I try to launch from within lightroom 4, or whether I launch from my desk top.
It'll work a couple of times, then goes back to telling me I have to register the product. I only have the 64 bit verion installed on Windows 7.
In my adobe, it shows up as a registered product.
Any suggestions please? I can never contact an adobe tech!
Thanks

Hi Chris,
I bought CS6 Design & Web Premium online from Adobe.com on August 5, 2012. I used the products successfully for 6 months and here in January I start getting requests for my SN every other time I boot one of the applications. I've used "Chat" on Adobe.com and they have me input my SN, the message goes away and they hang up believing the problem is fixed. I tell them this is a persistent problem but they dont want to really seem to want to help.
And today Acrobat Pro has stopped accepting my SN altogether.
Oh, and I too have recieved the "My Trial Period is 36,767 days".
From reading this page and the messages, this is a known problem. Today is Jan 24 2013. I see the first parts of this post started in October.
What are we supposed to do when the software we depend on to make a living stops working and Adobe tech support is LESS than supportive in resolving the issue?
Adobe is better than this - What gives? For the first time, I am disappointed in your company and products. ANY help would be a step in the right direction.

Creative cloud applications keep asking me to login every time I launch an application

Creative cloud applications keep asking me to login every time I launch an application on a same machine.
How to solve this problem?
Windows 7 Professional.

Or it could be patially related to typical pains when a company makes an enormous transition like this. Ironcially, just as i said in my post, my issue resolved the next day.
Listen, I undertstand the concern and certainly the frustration. I spend nothing short of 14 hours per day with Adobe apps open. primarily After Effects, Photoshop and Illustrator. I know the hassle and I know the frustration of constantly having to sign back in, which i did for a bit too. But it's just a little melodramatic when people make idle threats they aren't going to follow through with anyway, about using a product that does what this does, and is such an enormous productivity tool that people say silly things. that's what I'm referring to. If you're going to choose an entire platform different than Adobe becuase theyr'e having issues on a brand new method of service and delivery you're an idiot anyway. Wouldn't you agree that the statements of ' i don't have time to test something' are a litle ridiculous? name any product, or purchase in any part of your life that has never failed at anything? and then saying thigns like it's suddenly an unstable environment, when the problem they're complaining about (and the complaint of course it legitimate) has absolutely nothing to do with the stability of the product?
it's the overblown, silly statements that make people look foolish, do nothing to help the issue, and offer nothing that crack me up. When I read someone saying things like that i pretty much ignore anything else they say because reason isn't something they are using at that point anyway.
See what you said? that has nothing to do with anyone I'm talking about. You made a valid point, didn't make silly comments like what I'm referring to. you said something I don't agree with, but you dind't go overboard and get all dramatic about it. I don't agree that it's an ongoing degredation of their rep. there is nobody even remotely close a valid competitor out there for this in the first place (depending on what software yoiu're referring to, but since we're in the CC forum i assume that's what you mean). The fact is, their reputation is so strong, no other software company can even compete. But even so I still see progress and innovation. Intel had a cushion with no competitor at one point, then AMD came in, and if you notice, within a couple years of AMD getting very popular, Intel started releasing their upgraded technology in less than a third of the time. But I don't think I see that laziness from Adobe. I don't honestly know that the reason is they moved to a subscription based environment but I know that almost all big software companies are at leasdt considering it. heck Microsoft was talking about changing their licensing and doing it the same way. And it's not for greed I'd guess, it's to comabt theft. At least that's my guess, i have no idea, but i don't believethat it's done and they would change their entire business model for a reason lefss important.
While we're on that topic I'd like to point out i bet this new process makes an enormous dent in the piracy, at least short term, so for me I applaud it. because when so many people steal the software, it means people like me, and i assume you, pay much higher prices for our legit licenses. So anything that can be done to thwart that has my full approval. But it also just happens to have some nice benefits, in that the pricing is pretty ridiculously low IMO for the entire suite of apps for 50 bucks per month. let' be honest, anyone using them for business which is primarily what this softwre is geared to, understands that while it might seem high, it's tiny compared to the montly cost of doing business, to keep an up to date, suite full of apps that would cost thousands were it not for the subscription. I'll admit, I bought the full suite on the montly just because it made sense. And it actually paid off. Recently I had a client that desperately needed ihs forms migrated to interactive. they were word docs, excel and plain pdfs, but because I happen to have a license for Acrobat, i was able to import those into pdf files and convert them to interactive forms. Then recommend he use the online service to manage them, and frankly it paid for 6 months of licensing for 10 hours work. were it not for the subscription based licensing i'd not have even been able to offer the service because I wouldn't have paid for acrobat.
Complaining about a piece of software you buy that doesn't work in an area, regardless of where it is, makes perfect sense. But the statements I'm referring to equate to someone buying a house, finding out the key doesn't work, or the doorknob is broke, throwing their hands up and saying 'i'm finding anohter house'. it's silly, and everyone knows there's no merit to it. But i get frustrated seeing it over and over, frewquently by people that hven't even paid for the software. Sometimes I post thing I shouldn't but hey, don't we all?
I like to browse these forums becuse I'd say i've learned as much of my knowledge by reading tricks, tips and resolutions posted in forums as I did through my classes and education. That's possibly an overstatement but not by much. I do get just as frustrated at the people constantly trying to belitte the company as they do with their issues.

Why does it ask me to register every time the application is opened?

Why does the application manager ask me to license, or trial my software everytime that I open any of the applications? I thought it was only suppose to check every 30 days?

Hi Leetou02,
You're correct, it is only supposed to check every 30 days.
You might install the latest version of the Adobe Application Manager from here:
CS6 applications in Creative Cloud unexpectedly revert to trial mode | CS6, CCM
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/trial--1-launch.html
and ensure everything with your internet connecity and firewall software is set correct from here:

Every time I launch iPhoto 11 i have to enable Photo Stream. It won't stay on.

After activating iCloud, and setting all my preferences appropriately, iPhoto was actively downloading my Photo Stream into my library.
But the last few days it stopped. I finally discovered that in my iPhoto preferences the option to enable Photo Stream was no longer clicked. If I click it, it starts pulling from the cloud. If I quit iPhoto, and relaunch it is still enabled and will begin again to pull from the cloud.
But if I restart my computer or log off, when I launch iPhoto I need to enable Photo Stream again.
I am on Lion. All software is up-to-date. Has anyone else experienced this and is there a solution?
Thanks.

See if the following will let you to keep Photostream on: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

Aperture is asking to upgrade library every time I open the application, even after it has already been upgraded. I just ran the update and it is still not fixed. What can I do???

Aperture is asking to upgrade library every time I open the application, even after it has already been upgraded. I just ran the update and it is still not fixed. What can I do??? My plug are asking me to re-register them too. This is annoying. Please help!!!!!

How do you try to start the repair dialogue? By starting Aperture or by opening the Library?
If you not already have tried it with directly opening the library:
reveal your Aperture Library in the Finder
Whilst holding down Command(⌘)- option (⌥) double click on the Aperture Library.
Select "repair library" from the dialogue.
What about Frank Caggiano's questions above?
It would be really helpful to know, how many libraries you have, and if this problem is restricted to one of them.

Purchased QT Pro. Every time I launch it I have to re-register. Someone posted a hack of sorts but I don't want to hack my computer. I purchased the program it should not be troublesome. My mac is healthy maybe Apple software isn't. help!

I asked earlier. Purchased QT Pro. Every time I launch it I have to re enter the registration # which is a huge pain.
Someone (Link) wanted me to open the terminal and run some diagnostic. There is NO Way i should have to go into my terminal and run programs
to run an apple program I just purchased. I am using Lion 10.7.4, come-on apple help me fix this or refund my purchase. This is horrid

QuickTime Player 7.6.6 installs in the Utilities folder (not the same version 10.1 that installs in the Applications folder).
Once you enter the registration info the "Pro" features are unlocked for all User accounts on the machine.
Did you move QuickTime Player 7.6.6 from the Utilities folder?
Have you tested QuickTime Player 7.6.6 when logged in using a different User account?

Aperture 3 keeps asking for my serial numbers every time I launch it.

I'm writing this not because I have this problem (though I did have it) but because I couldn't find a direct answer here in Apple Support Communities but did eventually solve it.
After purchasing a new iMac to replace an aging MacBook Pro, I tried copying the original ProAppsSystemID file in /Library/Application Support/ProApps from the old to the new system, hoping that would transfer my Aperture license. That didn't work (for me), though Aperture continued working on the old MacBook Pro. I went digging and found my original Aperture activation keys (original and upgrade), entered those on the new iMac, and was finally able to launch Aperture 3 on the iMac.
My problem was that Aperture kept asking me for my serial number every time I launched it. I had originally purchased Aperture 2 and then purchased the Aperture 3 upgrade. As it should, when I supplied my Aperture 3 activation key, it noted that was for an upgrade and prompted me to enter my original key. After supplying my original Aperture 2 (full license, not an upgrade) key, it would continue and launch.
I could then use Aperture just fine, as before, however, its "About" window showed that it was "unlicensed". The next time I'd re-launch Aperture (after quitting it, obviously), I would have to go through the same process, supplying first my Aperture 3 upgrade key and then my Aperture 2 key, before it would finish launching.
I tried everything I could think of: uninstalling and reinstalling Aperture 2, upgrading again to Aperture 3, deleting Aperture preference files, and so on. I tried logging in as root and repeating everything. I tried "repair disk permissions". Nothing helped!
What seemed to fix my problem was going back into /Library/Application Support/ProApps and renaming "ProAppsSystemID" to "ProAppsSystemID xxx", relaunching Aperture 3, and entering the activation keys one last time. At that point, the "About" box properly indicated my version was licensed, and I was able to exit and re-launch Aperture without being prompted!
Although my problem is solved, I'm still a but mystified, however, because the file named "ProAppsSystemID xxx" is still there, its modification date is unchanged from when I renamed it, and a new "ProAppsSystemID" file has not appeared in that directory.
Also, it's a shame that Aperture's licensing is so fragile that this problem should arise at all. If there was something wrong with my system ID file, Aperture should have opened an error dialog or at least noted something in the system log. (It didn't, I checked.) Apple really should fix that. And here I thought only Adobe shipped egregiously stupid upgrade/licensing logic...

Thanks - this worked for me too - you saved me alot of heartache and wasted time :-)

I have set up a Netgear dual band modem which works well with the iPhone and an older MacBook, but with this brand new MacBook it asks for a password every time I reopen the computer and open safari. Is it Lion?

I have set up a Netgear dual band modem which works well with the iPhone and an older MacBook, but with this brand new MacBook it asks for a password every time I reopen the computer and open safari. As you can imagine this is very annoying. It says I am not connected to the internet and offers me a choice of nearby networks including mine and then asks for a password when I select it. Why does it do this with our new MacBooks (also with my son's brand new one) and not with the iPhone, iPad and older MacBook? They happily automatically connect to our network after entering the password just the once.

Sig, I appreciate you trying to be helpful. I have no idea what issues you were having or what issue exactly pgrounds has been having. Your assumption that everyone's set up is the same as yours is false however. There are many many documented WiFi issues that are a result of Lion installs. Many have been solved by 10.7.1 and 10.7.2. Others have been solved by a large variety of work arounds. Others have not had their issues solved yet.
I am one of those. I have an IT background, and I spent the better of five hours digging up workarounds and attempting all of them. For the benefit oh anyone who is having similar issues, I have posted links to all of those workarounds here. None of them worked in my case, but hopefully they will help pgrounds or others.
So, once again, if you have a new idea, I'd love to here it. But if it has already been posted in one of these links, it's not helpful, let it go.

How can I turn off Keychain from asking for my password EVERY time I check for mail?

how can I turn off Keychain from asking for my password EVERY time I check for mail?
This is really driving me nuts.....
Thanks

Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, and then click General.
Open the General pane of Security & Privacy preferences
2. Select “Require password...NEVER after sleep or screen saver begins.” You can adjust the amount of delay before a password is required in the pop-up menu.
From what I am aware, you cannot turn off the keychain.
I hope this helps.

Lr4 asks for serial number every time it starts

I purchased a Lightroom 4 upgrade license from the Adobe store and I can't get the serial number to stick after entering it in the start-up dialog. Every time I launch Lightroom, the application asks for the new serial number and the original serial number for the product that I upgraded from (Lr3). I get green checks when I enter both numbers and Lightroom functions normally, but when I quit and launch Lightroom again it starts from scratch and I need to re-enter both serial numbers.
I'm running Mac OS X 10.7.3

A thread associated with a Lr2 upgrade has a solution. I deleted the file 'Lightroom 4.0 Registration' at /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom (NB: not the user's Library) and I am no longer prompted for the serial number. Yeah!

You can't.

I am trying to put previously purchased apps onto my 2nd device but it asks for a password EVERY time. Is there a way to change settings to entering password while I am working? That is how my 1st device works.
