CS6 Stopped Working on OS X Mavericks (Serial Number Revoked)

I have used Adobe Creative Suite 6 but it stopped working after I upgraded my Mac OS to Mavericks.
I contacted Adobe support and was advised to uninstall/reinstall, but it still shows the same error message “The serial number you entered has been revoked. This product cannot be licensed.”
Support staff said there is no issues with my serial number and it must be some technical issue (so they did not agree to reissue the serial number).
Please kindly advise how to solve.
I refer to this support page and tried below solutions but did not work for me.
Delete the FlexNet Publisher preferences folder: I did not have the folder.
Run the License Repair Tool: Did not work for me
Repair disk permissions: Did not work for me
Reset permissions on the FlexNet Publisher licensing service folder: I did not have the folder.
Solution 5: Reset permissions on the Adobe PCD folder: I did not have the folder.
Also, I updated Java OS X as shown here, but did not work either.
I am using Mac Book Air with Mac OS X 10.9.4. I appreciate any advise. Thanks!

uninstall (using the adobe uninstaller, clean (using Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6) and reinstall using the installation files.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS4 message: "Licensing for this product has stopped working." I have the serial number but not the media. How do I use the software?

    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.

  • Adobe Bridge (CS6) Stopped Working & Application Manager Fails No Matter What

    Adobe Bridge (CS6) Stopped Working & Application Manager Fails No Matter What I do.
    I have uninsalled, ran the cleaner, installed, and Bridge will not open, Application manager will not run.

    CS6
    Thanks

    Good luck with that, and don't forget to deactivate CS6. 
    My system is slowing down after nearly two years, and I am dreading a reinstall - there always seems to be something you have forgotten!  What really worries me is what happens to existing raid0 arrays seeing as the mainboard needs drivers.   They are backed up, but I just don't trust a single level backup, and will have to add a further 3Tb of drive space to make a straight copy of the raid0 arrays.  I also like the idea of Windows 8.1, but dread finding out that the drivers don't work!
    The Premiere Pro hardware forum is the perfect place to ask about stuff like that.  Harm, Bill, Erik etc. are super clued up on such things, so I shall run my concerns past them before committing. 
    So I wish you good luck again, and I know you'll make a plan before going ahead with it.

  • Why do the "SAVE", "SAVE AS" and "UNDO" functions of InDesign CS6 stop working after a short time?

    Why do the "SAVE", "SAVE AS" and "UNDO" functions of InDesign CS6 stop working after a short time?

    Normally they don't. You might have some sort of problem on your system, possibly a conflict with other software, or corrupt ID prefs or application. Trashing the prefs is easy, and good place to start: Replace Your Preferences
    It will help if you tell us the OS version, whther you've installed the 8.0.1 patch, and how you are trying to access the commands, and what happens when you do. Is this isolated to one file, or does it happen with all files?

  • Adobe media core cs6 stopped working......???

    Can anyone help?. i am new to photoshop elements 10. i get this box come up on screen when i start elements "Adobe media core cs6 stopped working" . It appears elements still works but if  i use smart fix for auto levels or colour the photo goes white....this never used to happen.

    The editor saved prefs often get corrupted. This is because PSE saves your settings each time you close the application. Problems can sometimes occur if you don’t let the program close properly or if you launch another application too quickly whilst closing down Elements. You may need to rebuild the editor preferences to resolve any conflicts. To begin, close Elements.
    Hold down the Ctrl+Shift+Alt keys and simultaneously click on the Edit button on the welcome screen. After a few seconds release the three keys and look behind the welcome screen by closing it. Alternatively hold down the three keys whilst  clicking on the desktop icon for the Editor or PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe in the Programs folder. Keep holding down all three keys for a few seconds; then release. You should get the settings option.
    When you see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
    Click on Yes
    Then wait whilst Elements rebuilds the preferences.
    If that doesn’t make any difference go to the Apple website and check for updates to your Quicktime player.
    Also check your internet security/anti-virus software is not blocking. For example the internet filter NetNanny is known for sometimes blocking the .exe file 'Adobe QT32 Server.exe'. It may be possible to add that file to an exceptions list to prevent blocking.

  • Illustrator cs6 stopped working

    I have got a subscipriton to creative cloud. I have a laptop and a desktop. both were working fine until a few weeks ago when the desktop version of illustrator CS6 stopped working. all other apps are fine. totally wierd. have unistalled and reinstalled, and also repaired permissions just in case but it still wont work.
    basically it boots up OK and then when you go to drop down menus its all greyed out so unusable. even quit is greyed out so i have to force quit to close it.
    any ideas?? very irritating and im desparate to get this working asap as got a backlog of work to do.

    Steve,
    Did you use the Cleaner tool between uninstalling and reinstalling?

    This should be one for Customer Service, if your nerves can handle it.

  • Folio Builder-Indesign CS6 stopped working

    Hey to everybody!! Every time that i want to open Folio Builder it keeps appearing the same thing. Adobe Indesign CS6 stopped working. I don't know why. I tried to reinstall digital publishing suite in case if some of the archives were damaged but i can't find a solution to my problem. Any suggestions?
    The rest of the applications of digital publishing suite work just fine.
    Thanks,Orestis

    Thanks for replying! But I already found my solution! After a few weeks of frustration and putting this message online I found out that it was the default printer that caused the error. Normally I use a printer from my university network as my default printer, but this caused the error since the computer is not always connected to that network. Now I put the Microsoft XPS Document Writer as default and everything works fine.
    I run the Adobe Creative Suite CS6 on Windows 7, my error log showed the following:

    Any other way of getting there?

  • CS6 Re-Install on Mac. No serial Number.

    I got the creative suite for Christmas '13 and this week my laptop crashed. I had nothing backed up and need to re-install CS6.
    I have no clue where my activation card went. I probably threw it out thinking "i won't need that again"
    I need to know if its possible for me to get the programs back and if so how.
    Thank you

    You can download the insdtallation files thru the following page.
    CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html
    You need your serial number to activate.  You can check your Adobe account online.  If you registered the software it should be stored there.
    If you have the discs, then the serial number should be located on the disc case.
    If you remain unable to locate the serial number then you can try contacting Adobe support thru chat, though if you have nothing other than a verbal claim to owning the license for the software there may not be anything they can do for you.

  • On install of Photoshop PS6, I get "serial number REVOKED" error

    I paid for Photoshop PS6, downloaded and get a  serial number revoked message, despite the fact I paid for it.
    What is going on?

    Hi,
    Thanks for your prompt reply.
    It is photoshop CS6 on the Mac.
    I re-downloaded and tried to re-install and got the same error message: serial number is REVOKED.
    This is not an installer error: I have been given an invalid serial number . This number came from my on-line accoount at Adobe.
    I paid for the purchase on 17 September 2012, and paid via PayPal as correctly shown in my Adobe accoount.
    So.... how do you get me a valid serial number?
