Error 150:30 Licensing on PSE8 XP

I'm running PSE 8 on a 32 bit Win XP machine.
Worked fine for several months.
I'm getting the 150:30 Licensing error. Already tried running the License Recovery 109 tool, to no avail.
Next steps?

The Flexnet service start up solved this.

Error 150:30 on PSE8 but not CS6

I'm getting error 150:30 on PSE8 on a Mac running OS 10.7 following a time machine recovery. I also have CS6 installed and this is working fine. I have the Adobe solutions to this but have two questions : Firstly, there is no /Library/Preferences/FlexNet Publisher file. Can I therefore just go straight to Soltion 2 (There is a /Library/Applications Support/Flexnet Publisher file with two sub files) Secondly, will anything I do here mess up CS6 ?!

You cannot recover PSE from time machine or use migration assistant. PSE is not a tidy package app according to the apple guidelines, but rather has an installer that strews things like buckshot all over your hard drive. It's impossible to get all the bits migrated manually. You will need to download and run cleanscript (you might want to temporarily uninstall CS6 while all this is going on), which will then let you manually remove all the broken bits of PSE. Check not only applications, but also hard drive>library>application support>adobe. Then reinstall from your original media.

(In other words, 150:30 isn't your only problem--you just haven't gotten far enough to see all others yet.)

PSE 8 Error 150:30 Licensing stopped working

Hi
Just another case of pse 8 not working on a mac running OS X 10.6.1 with Polish as a main language.
I've just purchased pse 8 from Apple store. I had a previous version of pse installed on my imac, so I uninstalled it using the unistaller from the pse 6 disc, installed pse 8 and.... bang ! - I got this lovely message on my screen (error 150:30, licensing stopped working etc.) Then after searching many forums I found I was not the only one having the same problem.
I've tried every single suggested solution (repairing disc permissions, deleting FLEXnet lib etc) - obviously nothing works (except changing the language to English of course).
Does a working solution exist for this problem?
I am not a happy bunny and I'll probably return pse 8 asap and go back to the 'old' 6 ver.

Hey folks:
As Ankush mentions, we are keenly aware of this problem.
There are actually two issues here:
First one is that when PSE8 is launched on systems that are not of the supported languages, this Licensing Has Stopped Working error occurs.
the only way to work around this one is to switch your system to a supported language.
Please note, the supported languages are clearly defined athttp://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopelmac/systemreqs/ and on the product packaging.
Second one is that occasionally, this bug occurs when launching in a supported language. For most folks the workaround is to simply try and launch PSE8 again. There seems to be a few folks who are running in a supported language, and relaunching doesn't work. See Ankush's note at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/502331?tstart=30 for a workaround if you're faced with this situation.
Rest assured that we are working on getting to the root cause, and understanding what it will take to get a fix out. We don't yet have enough info to convey when an update could happen. That does not mean we're not working on it.
Sorry for the hassle, and thanks for your patience here.
Cheers

Photoshop CS4 - Licensing Error 150:30

I have a MacBook with the OS X Maverick Operating System and have had no prior issues using my Photoshop CS4. My computer recently crashed and had to have my operating system re-installed. I tried to open up Photoshop today and this window popped up: "Licensing for this product has stopped working". I tried restarting the computer like the window mentioned and that did nothing. I also tried the solutions listed on the Adobe website for the Error: 150:30 and nothing has worked. My main problem is I cannot finish the "solutions" because I cannot locate the folder "FlexNet" or "FlexNet Licensing" or anything of that nature that is referred to in the solutions.

The Licensing repair tool does work. OSX 10.7 and above:
Download and open LicenseRecovery111.dmg on your Desktop
Open Terminal and type sudo and leave a space. <do not press "Enter" yet>.
Open the License Folder on the opened LicenseRecovery111.dmg and drag
"LicenseRecover.py" file into the Terminal Window.
The sudo command and path to the .py file should look like the screenshot below.
Press Enter to begin
Type in your password, but know that you will not see dots or asterisks as you type.
Press Enter again, let the script run and finish. You should be able to run Photoshop now.
(If this answer solves it, mark it as "correct" or get back to me if it doesn't.)

CS4 "licensing ... has stopped working" on Mac, error 150:30

We have an early 2009 iMac with CS4 installed in 2010. CS4 including Photoshop no longer loads. We now get the message, "Licensing for this product has stopped working" and a reference to error 150:30. We just want to get another year or two out of this computer with disk- not cloud-based Adobe CS. It now runs OS X Mavericks but the error message came up before the upgrade with Mountain Lion. We have the original HDD.
It's also annoying that Adobe says "we want to help in any way we can" but that turns out to be: go to the online forum. No chat with Adobe let alone phone support. This is one case where we wouldn't mind paying a couple dollars for the right answer the first time.

You can get to Web Chat:
Adobe ID, sign in, and account help
Click on the "Still Need Help?" link and you'll have that option.

CS4 Error 150:30 student license

Migrated CS4 to a new Mac pro with OS Lion. Get error 150:30.
Tried downloading license repair dmg file, deactivaated old license on old computer, no result and seems cannot talk to a human at Adobe because it is Sunday.
Any ways round this?

You can try the instructions in this document, which applies to the "150: 30" error message: Error "Licensing has stopped working." If you want person-to-person support, I recommend our chat support at http://adobe.ly/v6wfLL. They'll be able to address the issue you've described. And while they aren't available on weekends, they are available during the week, I believe until 7pm PST.

Error 150:30, "Licensing for this product has stopped working"

I recently updated my Mac OS, and am getting error 150:30, "Licensing for this product has stopped working" on all my CS4 products. The license repair tool will not launch in Mavericks. Help?

CS4 is completely unsupported under Mavericks and using an upgraded
operating system is nothing short of a crapshoot.
Unfortunately, you are completely on your own here.

Dreamweaver CS4 keeps showing a licensing error 150:30. Any ideas?

I am running Dreamweaver CS4 on a MacBook Pro. After a Mac OSX update earlier today Dreamweaver keeps showing a licensing error 150:30 and the only solution on line is not suitable for OS 10.9.5. Any ideas?

The terminal app option worked but after a restart I got the error message again. It worked a second time but then another restart brought me back to the beginnin. Have repaired permissions and tried the other potential solutions. I only use DW CS4 once in a while but I'd love a permanent solution.

How to re-enter license key after error 150:30

I had to have the logic board on my Macbook Pro Retina replaced and now when I try to start Photoshop CS4 I get an error 150:30 "Licensing for this product has stopped working" but there is no option to re-enter my license key. How can I re-register my copy of CS4 to my "new" computer?

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.

When I try and open Illustrator CS4 on my 2008 macbook running Mavericks I get a message telling me that Licensing for this product has stopped working' Error 150:30

Has anyone encountered this error message?

According to Google a couple of folks had this error.
For instance here:
Re: License is no longer working Error - 150:30 - CS4

LICENSING FOR THIS PRODUCT HAS STOPPED WORKING. Error: 150:30.

Yesterday I purchased a new MBPro 15" Retina display. I retrieved all my files from TimeCapsule and I have a separate login when working with these files. On this login, photoshop, illustrator and indesign from CS4 appear on the dock. But when I go to launch, I get this window: LICENSING FOR THIS PRODUCT HAS STOPPED WORKING. Error: 150:30. I figure I need to enter in my serial code but I don't know how to proceed. My CS4 from 2009 is an upgrade from my original 2004. So my questions are:
1. Can I enter in my serial number somehow to activate the software, or do I need to reinstall?
2. If I need a reinstall, do I have to start with the 04 version?
Thanks!

As you guessed yourself, you need to reinstall properly. Installing whatever older product you are referring to is not required, only installing CS4 and then inputting the serial numbers. the bad news however is, that CS4 itself may not be compatible with OSX 10.8.2/.3, so expect all sorts of problems...

How to fix "Licensing for this product has stopped working - Error 150:30"?

I cannot pen PSE or Bridge. It get the message "Licensing for this product has stopped working - Error 150:30".
I assume it is because I recently upgraded my Mac to Yosemite.
What do I need to do to be able to open PSE again?
Thank you.

Thank you. I appreciate your tips. I tried solution 5 and it doesn't work.
The rest is essentially gibberish to a basic user like myself. I have
neither the expertise nor the confidence to go into these folders and start
mucking around in there. Can I please have someone call me and guide
through the necessary steps. My number is 06 46 40 94 39 (Location: France).
Cheers.

Adobe Error 150:30 Its a licensing issue I guess...how do I fix this?

I just transferred CS4 onto my new mac but its telling me there is an "Error 150:30" Its a licensing issue I guess...how do I fix this so I can use the program on my new mac? Is it even possible to fix? I don't think I have the physical software anymore its been so long since I have had this program!

Klizb this often occurs when Adobe Creative applications are copied/transferred/migrated to a different computer. Please make sure to run any available uninstallers followed by the use of the CC Cleaner Tool to attempt to recover from the transfer process. You can find details on how to use the CC Cleaner Tool at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6.
