Error 148:3 and FlexNet Licensing Service

I have been bothered with Windows event of "event 7000, adfsservice not
started" during boot-up.
After long investigation I found killing "FLEXNET Licensing Servive" resolves
this problem.
Note that this service was not and is not running ever on my machine anyway.
On the other hand, I occasionaly experience Error 148:3 when starting CS4.
(I am a licensed user :-) )
Thie error happens before and after the modification of FLEXNET disablement.
I, today, was informed that the FLEXNET is for CS4 licensing check.
Now,
Is the error 148:3 related to my machines no FLEXNET serivice?
If so, how can I resolve this problem?
Tak

I had the same error and going through Control Panel / Admin / Services solved the problem. I can now open DreamWeaver.
Thank you.
Oh, for what it is worth, just before this error 148:3 happened to me in DW, I upgraded from IE 6 to IE 8, and then added SP3 to my XP Pro operating system.

Windows could not start the FLEXnet Licensing Service service on Local Computer Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start.

Today I installed Adobe Director 11.5. I received a couple of errors in the FLEXnet Licensing Service. It looks It could not start. I tried to download the Licence fix what I found on Google but that doesn't work, so I checked the 'Service' at service (windows).
It's status is empty. When I double click on the FLEXnet Licensing Service, clicked on start at the opened window and an error is coming:
Windows could not start the FLEXnet Licensing Service service on Local Computer
Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start.
I don't understand what it says with this message, only that it is impossible to start. However, that is not what I am trying of course, I want to start the FLEXnet Licensing Service, service.
Re-installing of the software, doesn't make any change. How can I start it so Director is also working?

Hi Don1233,
Please consider seek help at the software vendor side.
For the services didn't start, follow the suggestions posted by Elton in the thread below:

FLEXnet Licensing Service hanging PC and hard drive paging

Today I found the service "FLEXnet Licensing Service" listed and was wondering what was using it. I decided to stop it and disable it. While going about my business today I noticed that another problem disappeared from my PC. Once I went to look at a docuemnt in acrobat 9 it told me I had to reinstall due to a problem. I remembered I disabled the "FLEXnet Licensing Service" service this morning. So I change the service from disable to manual, opened Acrobat with a document and my PC hung with the hard drive light on constantly.
I just scoured google with the term FLEXnet Licensing Service and hanging and noticed some threads.
Is this a known issue?

OT - FLEXnet Licensing Service

Does anybody have any insight as to the FLEXnet Licensing Service -
I have been troubleshooting a situation where printing from many/most applications causes a program hang and/or crash.
In a period of digital housekeeping recently I disabled an Adobe Service related to CS4 - I don't recall the particulars - license checking or update checking. (I have stopped using the CS4 suite aside from Acrobat 9)
I noticed a FLEXnet folder in my C:\Program Data which contains nearly identicle log and data file entries for adobe_00080000 and esko_00426a00, both with recent time stamps and entries
Printing from Outlook crashes the program most of the time. Printing from Adobe apps is hit & miss.
Quite frustrating

In a nutshell, I'm a printer.
Currently most instances of "Print" disable/lock up the program, all of which recover just fine, but can you imagine the frustration? (fwiw, I don't get frustrated; I have many tools available to me. In a pinch, I can drag files to a RIP)
Appliactions frequently locking or which hang excessivley include InDesign CS5.5, Acrobat 9 Pro, Outlook & Word.
I question the FLEXnet service only becuase I have a log (somewhere) with entries concurrent to the hangs.
I want to avoid mucking things up further. Perhaps I'll uninstall CS4 - I won't be able to downsave a CS5.5 all the way to CS2 anymore, no loss there
But there is the uncertainty if CS4 uninstall will remove all entries, and Acrobat 9 was probably part of the 4 Suite...
You two are savvy - Print locks up application - suggetions?
(Google searches for this aren't hitting a good revelance. 99% of results relate to specific apps and/or drivers)

FLEXnet Licensing Service

Setup Windows Azure Workflow - Add-WFHost error "WF_Management/WFTOPIC" and token provider service

Hi,
i want to install the new windows azure workflow manager and service bus on my sharepoint 2013 server.
All works fine in setup. I got the Powershell-Script from the wizard and configured it to meet my requierments.
I start it and get to the last point "add-wfhost".
Here i got following error:
VERBOSE: [12.12.2012 09:30:13]: Validating input and configuration parameters.
VERBOSE: [12.12.2012 09:30:14]: Installing auto-generated certificate.

I installed it on a sharepoint 2013 box server (AD, DNS, SQL and SP on one maschin).
I know this is not supported, but it should work. Im loged in as the service account for the workflow. I've granted the domain admin rights and sql sysadmin /dbowner rights.
Now my answer is:
It is not the "normal" error with the wf_management/WFTOPIC. What is this token provider service and why he tries the port 9355. I dont use ssl, so how can i change the request url or how do i have to set it up correct?
Thx alot on this!

When you say 'setup gateway correctly' what do you mean?
How was your gateway setup and what did you change?
I have the same problem, and despite removing all proxy settings, i am still having this issue. I can navigate fine to the 'WorkflowDefaultNamespace' and get a RSS Feed type of page, but when i add the $STS/Windows Virtual Directories, i get a 400 Bad Request.

Error Starting Admin and Default Server Services.

I just installed Jrun on a Windows 2003 server and cannot
connect to the Admin server. When i look in services msc, i see
that neither the Admin or the default service are started. When i
start them, i get an error and when i look at the system log, the
following showes up.
The Macromedia JRun Admin Server service terminated with
service-specific error 2 (0x2).
I am not familiar with JRun so any help would be
appriciated.

Hi Faisal -
is your domain in development mode or production mode?
- While configuring my domian , I had selected Prod Mode, but pon start up when I see in admin server console, it is starting in developement mode already ?
Any idea how, why ?
if its production mode you can switch to development mode, change all the credentials in the config.xml and configurations under sub folders to cleartext and start the server..
- Let me still try these and get back to you.
Thanks,
SK

Install Windows 2008 R2 KMS Key Error "0xC004F050 The software licensing service reported that the product key is invalid"

My KMS server is running on Windows Server 2012 R2 and activated by Server 2012 KMS Key.

Anyone can help? thanks.

Hi Samson,
Based on my research, we need to choose associated KMS key based on the highest product being deployed in the product grouping hierarchy.
To choose the right Volume License key, please refer to this article:
How to Choose the Right Volume License Key for Windows
Please type the cmd "slmgr /dlv" on KMS Host and check if it has been activated successfully.
After configure KMS host, By default these KMS client computers will query DNS and locate your KMS host and activate
KMS Client Setup Keys
To reset computers to be KMS clients type the following at elevated command prompt:
Slmgr.vbs /ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
Where xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx is the generic VL key from the following link.

Acrobat 9 Standard, error 148:3

Acrobat 9 Standard, I continually get error 148:3. Telling me to uninstall and reinstall. This is unreasonable

One post talks about this error being a license error. The post talks about going to Start and entering services.msc to get the services window. Go down and check the the FLEXnet License service is running. That may be the issue, not sure. The Adobe link for information is at http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-licensing-stopped-windows.html. Is this a stand-alone installation or something in the "cloud?" I am just referring you to what I found, not necessarily the correct answer (I have not tried it).

Control Panel won't open/Software License Service fails to run

I'm not sure what happened, I had left my computer on sleep for about 4 hours, I came back and I was getting these UAC messages even when I was opening elevated mode for task manager. Soon I realized my control panel won't open. After some googling, the problem was apparently linked to a service called Software License Service and it was either caused by virus(but I have avast..) or files that somehow got corrupted. I had: updated my system using Thinkvantage system update + did a system backup+ ran memtest86+ + turned off AMT + turned off Intel onscreen display. That's all I did before this happened.The error code I get when I try to start control panel through cmd is Error 34 (don't know what this means). And Software license service won't start.
*control panel opens fine in safe mode
*ran sfc, there were problems that 'couldn't be repaired'
1. Is there any way to fix this, ie is there a hotfix available or something I can just download and install?
2.Any idea what might have possibly caused this?
3. I did a quick restore using the backup I did and the problem was still not fixed. Will a full restore help or will I have to resort to factoy restore?
Thanks. *having so many problems with the new thinkpad + vista =/*
I have a T400(2764-CTO) 32 bit on vista business.
