Dreamweaver CS4 prompts for license agreement?

I've had Dreamweaver CS4 installed for months.  I use it for work daily and all of a sudden when I attempt to run it today the License User agreement pops up -- I click on Agree -- and nothing happens!  Any clue what is going on -- was an update deployed?  I'm baffled. I can't get the applicaton to run at all.

I ended up calling support and after working through each of the solutions mentioned in KB405970, I had to completely uninstall, remove some folders, and reinstall.  The entire process was 5 hours and the tech support rep stayed with me during that time.  I was extremely pleased with the support, but I'm baffled as of why this happened in the first place and how to avoid it in the future. A lot of frustration and 4 days of not being able to use my applications
Thank you for your assistance and hope this will help others that could be facing the same problem.

  • Windows 8 setup does not prompt for license key, then fails, on hp envy notebook

    Hi,
    I am trying to install Windows 8 pro on an hp envy dv7 notebook, that came with a Windows 8 home pre-installed.
    I tried by running the setup from the CD inserted while Windows was running, but setup complained that no license key matched the CD and faled. Strange enough,
    setup did not prompt for any license key!
    I tried the setup on another, older PC, there it did prompt for license key and setup ended well. At least it was not the CD.
    Then I retried booting from setup CD, it loaded files, then started the setup without promptiing for any license key, and failed again.
    Then I tried with a Windows 7 CD, same behavior, not prompting for license key and fail to setup.
    Then I "repaired" Windows by booting from CD and reformatting the hard drive, dropping all Windows partitions, then restart setup from CD, but it still behaved the same way: not prompting for license key, and failing to setup.
    I called the HP support, and they answered that it was a problem for Microsoft (what a good support, the only place where the problem occurs is the hp computer, but let the Customer call Microsoft instead).
    So here I am, did any of you use an hp computer, and succeeded in installing Windows 8 PRO NFR from Technet plus on it?

    Is it a Chinese Editon preinstalled in HP notebook?
    Windows 8 preinstall machine includes a license key in system firmware. So Windows 8 setup will use this key rather than pop up product key input text pop. It is a Microsoft by design issue. So no good mathod to workaround this problem.

  • IWork, 1 computer, 2 user profiles, both prompted for license...

    I recently purchased the Single User iWork 08 for my MacBook Pro. I installed it as one user profile (prompted for Administrator authentication), and completed the installation. When first started up a iWork 08 application I was prompted for the license key, which I entered... I later quit the application.
    I logged out and logged in as another user profile on the MacBook Pro and attempted to start one of the iWork applications, and was surprised to get the license key prompt again.
    Where does the license key have to be located so that all my user profiles on my MacBook Pro no longer get prompted for the key?
    Thanks!

    I think you probably went wrong when you checked the single profile / user box on installation; whether this can be corrected through Preferences or require reinstallation I don't know. Copied below is an extract of the licence agreement which refers to the number of computers rather than the number of profiles used on each, so I think you should be OK- you may however need to re-install.
    B. iWork Single User License. This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software (whether trial or full version) on a single Apple-
    labeled computer at a time. This License does not allow the Apple Software to exist on more than one computer at a time, and you may not make the Apple
    Software available over a network where it could be used by multiple computers at the same time. You may make one copy of the Apple Software in
    machine-readable form for backup purposes only; provided that the backup copy must include all copyright or other proprietary notices contained on the
    original.
    C. iWork Family Pack License. This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on up to a maximum of five (5) Apple-labeled
    computers at a time as long as those computers are located in the same household and used by persons who occupy that same household. By "household"
    we mean a person or persons sharing the same housing unit such as a home, apartment, mobile home or condominium. This license does not extend to
    students who reside at a separate on-campus location or to business or commercial users. You may not make the Apple Software available over a network.

  • ITunes keeps asking for licensing agreement in windows 7

    After upgrading to iTunes 11 some months ago I have had to live with a really annoying 'feature'.
    iTunes keeps resetting itself, therefore I have to Accept the License Agreement window, then select the Menu Bar, then select Show Side Bar, the select Show Status Bar, then Edit Preferences to check the checkbox to prevent devcies from automatically syncing, then set my mini player window settings, then sign in to Apple Store, then for each device I have to set the Sync Info setting (calendars, Notes, bookmarks, contacts etc).
    It's totally random, ie sometiems I can go for a few days before I have to do it again, sometimes it will do it during the same day if I open, close and then reopen iTunes.
    I have reported this to Apple Support a couple of times now but all they say is that they have never headr of this before, which I find surprising as a simple search on Google has thousands of moany people like me who are not happy having to keep entering the same flaming information time after time after time again.
    I have tried suggested fixes like uninstall, clean registry, get iTunes to rebuild the preferences file, set up a different user account, blah, blah, blah. I've tried Apple Forums, Windows forums, but nope, no fix that actually seems to work.
    Come on Apple, surely you can store library preference information in a simple %CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA% folder. I'm just a lowly developer but I'v e managed to work this out for my applications!
    Surely someone must know how to resolve this.
    It's really, really, really annoying!

    McAfee AntiVirus by any chance? See the thread Why does iTunes delete my itunesprefs.xml?

  • Prompted for License code when install Acrobat wit CCP

    We have got Creative Cloud for teams and use CCP to make packages to distribute this software on our PC's. When I install only Adobe Acrobat this way, I am prompted for a license code or 30-day trial when I try to start the application. However, when I install Photoshop on the same machine, then start Photoshop and log on to Creative Cloud, I can use both products without any problem. How is this possible? I would very much like to install only Acrobat and no other Adobe products on some of our PC's to reduce the footprint.

    Hi C_Smaardijk,
    I am assuming that you are running the AcroPro.msi within the AcrobatProfessional folder from the Exceptions folder. Please use the Exception Deployer to install Acrobat XI pro and then it wont ask you to provide any serial no. Once the installation completes then use your Adobe ID to activate the same.
    You can refer to this KB article for Exception Deployer.

    Please let me know if it helps.

  • ARD3 Always Prompts for License Number

    I installed ARD 3 today and am having an odd problem. Everytime I start ARD 3 it prompts me for the license key and gives me the "task server" not started message. I've seen the TechNote on this and it hasn't helped because I am the only user on my PM G5, and I have admin privileges. IOW I installed and started ARD 3 as an admin user using my admin account on my PM G5.
    I am running ARD 3 on a PM G5 running 10.4.6 (not OS X Server) and the recent 2006-003 Security Update. I'm about to uninstall ARD 3 and re-install but thought I'd check here first.

    Just to close the loop on this...I did a "fix permissions", entered the key one more time and that seems to have done the trick. ARD 3 is now working the way it should.
    I'm still mystified as to why permissions would've been garfed after the 2006-003 Security Update.

  • I was unable to install adobe acrobat in trial version and it is asking for license agreement and then about serial. How can i resolve this problem?

    i have downloaded adobe acrobat from adobe assistant and after the installation it is asking for serial number even though i opt for trial usage. how can i resolve this problem?

    Maheedhararao if you are unable to install in trial mode then it is likely the trial period for that computer has expired.  I would recommend evaluating the software on a different computer.

  • Dreamweaver CS4 and Windows 8

    I have recently purchased a new laptop running Windows 8.  I am a private individual who runs three websites using Dreamweaver CS4, one for a school and two a non-profit organisation..  The local view shows every file on my drive instead of only the files in the in the folders belonging to each website. 
    Is this a compatability issue?
    Can anyone offer assistance?

    When you set up the Local Root folder, make sure DW is putting the right path in. I know there is a glitch in DWCS4 that would put basically "on directory up" as the folder even if you browsed to the right place and hit OK. (up until a couple weeks ago, I was still using DWCS4 and fought this issue every time I made a new site)
    Go into your broken site definition using Site > Manage Sites > Edit
    Click the Advanced Tab
    Look at the Local Root Folder text box. This is where DWCS4 likes goofing up. If your site's root folder was supposed to be C:\Users\yourname\Desktop\Folder1 it will likely show C:\Users\yourname\Desktop instead. You should be able to change that manually by adding in the correct folder name at the end.
    Otherwise, the way to fix it when you're making a new site is to browse to the correct location twice when adding the local root folder during the Site Definition process. It will usually pick up the correct location on the second attempt.

  • Code Navigator makes Dreamweaver CS4 quit, every time.

    Every time I select the Code Navigator, Dreamweaver CS4 freezes for about 4 seconds, then quits unexpectedly. I've tried reinstalling my operating system (Mac OS X) as well as the program. It also happens on a brand new user. Any see this before? I can't find on any of the forums, or in google. Thanks!

    If Dreamweaver is behaving in an odd way, it frequently means you have a corrupt personal configuration folder. Close Dreamweaver, locate the personal configuration folder, and rename it. When you restart Dreamweaver, it should create a new configuration folder with all the program defaults. For details of how to find the configuration folder, see this page in the Dreamweaver FAQ.

  • Download Dreamweaver CS4

    I'm looking at purchase options.  SoftwareKing has a Dreamweaver CS4 download for 199.99.  This this a legitimate copy of Dreamweaver?  Are there other download options to save on the cost?
    Thanks.

    This is not an official answer to your question, but I can tell you about my experience. I purchased the Adobe Master Suite CS4 as a download only ($399.00) and have been very pleased with my decision. I was able to properly register it and everything. The biggest disadvantage is the fact that there is no book to go with it. I can live with that. By the way, they have Dreamweaver CS4 for $99.90. The URL is http://oem-box.com/
    This is not advice. I am simply sharing my experience. You are on your own.
