Error 150:30 in mac

a) Screenshot of the error message.
b) System Information File -
  Click Apple Menu > About this MAC > More Info > Click File > Click Save As > Save the file in Rich Text Format
c) CS4 installation logs (.GZ file with filename as Adobe Creative Suite 4 and date of install) from the following location :
  Main HD >  Library > Logs > Adobe > Installers >
d) The trusted storage file for Mac “adobe_00080000_tsf.data” from the following location:
  Main HD :  Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/FLEXnet/adobe_00080000_tsf.data.
e) “cache.db” file from the following location:
  Main HD :  Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD/cache/cache.db
f) “pcd.db” file from the following location:
  Main HD :  Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD/pcd.db
g) “AMT.log” and “ALM.log” files from the following location:
i. Open a window in Finder.
ii. Choose the "Go" menu.
iii. Select "Go To Folder" (A sheet alert appears at the window).
iv. Type "/tmp" in the edit box.
v. Click the "Go" button.
vi. The log files should appear.

While you were checking the latest data...I was trying other solutions.
I looked in my System Preferences....Other...and selected Adobe Version Cue CS4 option.
When this system preference panel opened, it offered the option (tab) called "Updates". I selected this tab and selected the box that said "check for updates". The system then downloaded a series of file updates for various CS 4 files. After these files were downloaded I was able to start Photoshop and other CS4 apps with no further errors.
Since I was installing from my original DVD - from December 2008 - apparently the files had changed. The 150:30 error was "rejecting" my attempts to start photoshop and therefore I had been unable to update to the latest file versions.
Hope this helps. This problem has been a very difficult one.

  • Photoshop Elements 8 shows error 150:30 in Mac OS X 10.10(Yosemite)

    Hi,
    Just upgraded to Yosemite (when my iMac 27" died Apple support put in a new HD and did the S/W upgrade).  I'm using (or was) PSE 8, but keep getting an error message, and says the licensing has stopped working.  Tried reinstalling the programme on my MBP (also now on Yosemite), but while it will open, it won't allow me access to any images stored in iPhoto.  Haven't tried yet on the iMac because I can't delete the old/existing key.
    The easy answer is to upgrade to PSE13, but is this necessary.  Can't seem to find and info on if this is the problem. Any help would be appreciated.
    Jack

    Wait. You have a bigger problem than a reinstall will fix. You can never, never transfer an installed copy of PSE as the apple store did.
    Now you must download and run this:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    after which you can manually remove the bits of PSE that are there. Look not only in applications but also in the library at the main level of your hard drive>application support>adobe, as well as in the user library for the prefs mentioned by John in his post.
    Then you can reinstall, but you must clean up the mess first or you'll be right back where you started when you reinstall.

  • Photoshop CS4 Extended - error 150:30 - "LicenseRecoveryLauncher" not supported on Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10

    I recently upgraded to Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10
    When I try to open Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended it says error 150:30 Licensing for this product has stopped working.
    I followed the help advice which says to download some software to mend the problem but it wont launch - error message You can’t open the application “LicenseRecoveryLauncher” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
    How can I fix the problem?

    OS 10.7 and above uses the python script (.py) which is included in the License Recovery kit.
    Mac OS X 10.7
    a. Double-click the LicenseRecovery111.dmg
    Note: Leave this window open and proceed to the next step.
    b. Double-click your Hard Drive.
    c. Double-click Applications.
    d. Double-click Utilities.
    e. Double-click Terminal.
    f. Type “sudo python “
    Note: There is a space following “python”. Do not press Return.
    g. Drag LicenseRecover.py from the LicenseRecovery folder onto the Terminal Window and press Return. Note: Make sure that the Terminal window has the command and the path to the APP file. For example: "sudo python /Volumes/LicenseRecovery\ 11.6.1/LicenseRecovery/LicenseRecover.py”
    h. Enter your administrator user name and password when prompted and click OK.
    i. Follow the onscreen instructions.

  • How do I overcome error 150:30 with a replacement system hard drive on a Mac Pro?

    I have replaced my system hard disk drive on a Mac Pro and used Mac 'Restore' to restore the complete system from a Time Machine backup. Everything else works correctly, except my current Adobe products (InDesign CS4 and Photoshop CS4) both give a licensing error code 150:30 and each suggest contacting Adobe technical support.
    Can you help?
    Blair Cramond 

    Thanks for your reply. Is it necessary to uninstal the existing CS4
    products before re-installing?

  • Transferring CS4 from an old Mac to a new one, I get a notice saying "licensing for this product has stopped working" Error 150:30. Don't know what to do? Thanks.

    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!
    Always install an Adobe application from scratch, from the original media: CD or download.

  • Error 150:30 at launch of illustrator cs 4 on a mac running 10.7.

    error 150:30 at launch of illustrator cs 4 on a mac running 10.7. I used cs4 on a desktop - works fine and on a laptop which is where I get the error.

    CS4 & 10.7 are over a decade apart, can you install an older version of the OS if you are try to run that.

  • Can't start my Adobe Applications - returning Error 150:30 after updated Mac OS to 10.9

    I have just updated my mac to OS X 10.9 and my Adobe CS4 applications won't open, returning error 150:30. I understand this is licensing related. I have been browsing various forums to get a fix for this, and I haven't found anything that works to date. Can somebody offer any advice on this, and is it something that has been seen before. I should mention that I updated straight from 10.5 to 10.9.
    Should I go about reinstalling CS4 from the disks? Is there a simpler fix? I would appreciate any help or specific knowledge that anyone can tender in this topic.
    Thanks!

    Yes, reinstal lthe programs.

  • Error 150:30   / MAC users

    hello all 150:30 errorers,
    i have just been through a hell with my mac, pse8 & 150:30 error code.
    before you go out of your mind, complaining and screaming, throwing your macs out of the window, downloading cleaners, uninstalling, contacting support (as i did)  ....the reasons for this code and simple solution can be right here:
    i purchased PSE8 in netherlands where i also installed it. worked perfectly.
    then i went on a holiday to a different european country - i thought i take my new mac with me . i noticed some settings on my mac changed. including chrome - not sure why.
    PSE8 still worked fine until u returned back to netherlands and got 150:30 - licensing error.
    i called hopeless dutch support - no help.
    i had to ring united states support to get somewhere. i was on the phone from europe to US for more than an hour. i spoke to technician - who was very helpfull. after some fixing we got another error code 217:something  and we ended up with an error code: 6
    the technician was right, the bottom line was this is not a PSE8 problem but MAC's. 
    ERROR 150:30 is caused by changing language / region  setting on your MAC - by your MAC. (mac does it automatically)
    so, the solution is simple - go to your (MAC)  system preferences, language&text, delete any additional languages in the language tabs and change everything you can to the settings when PSE8 was installed.
    hope this saves you time and nerves
    (i wasted talking to the dutch adobe support.)
    all the best

    Try This:
    Delete the FlexNet Publisher preferences folder  from : [hard drive]/Library/Preferences/FlexNet Publisher/
    If hidden try this Step:
    In the Finder, choose Go > Go To Folder.
    In the Go To Folder dialog, type ~/Library
    Click Go.

    This is more of a Photoshop question than a Mac question. I typed the error into Google and there seems to be multiple threads about it in the Adobe forums. Here is one:
