Error message 147:20 when opening any application - CS4

Hi,
I have CS4 that I purchased at a discounted rate in college. I tried to open a PDF today in Acrobat and received the error message 147:20 saying I couldn't open and that I have to contact an IT admin, or call support. I called support and was directed here and am not sure how I can either get it activated or re-install it. I understand that it's an old version, but didn't Adobe just give CS4 out for free anyway? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Riley

Hi rizzo3710,
Error  147:20 is usually due to licensing issues.

  • I downloaded Firefox 4 onto my PowerPC G4 1.67GHz running Mac OSX 10.5.6. When I try to open it I get error message You cannot open the application "Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture. I can't find my Firefox 3.6.16 I'm on Safari.

    Use Tony's suggestion. I am running it right now and it is awesome. I love Mozilla but they basically screwed all of those older Macs over. Come on Mozilla. These Macs still work, and there are plenty of people with them out there.

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

  • Error message -10660 when opening files

    I've just bought a MacBook Pro 17, and repeatedly (but not every time) when I try to open a document, I'm getting an error message saying "The operation could not be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -10660). I have checked Get Info on the document and it's set to open with the correct application. And it does... if the application is open. I'm getting the error code only when the application is closed. Any ideas?
    Thanks!

  • Error message (13013) when opening iTunes

    Can anyone help with this enquiry. I amm trying to open iTunes but the following error message pops up when I do this: "the iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (13013)". I have been able to unistall & reinstall iTunes but am unable to open it. Help please.

    A couple of things to try.
    Try deleting "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" from your iTunes folder.
    If that doesn't work, try rebuilding your library.
    With iTunes closed, drag iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Library.xml out of you iTunes folder to your desktop.
    Then try opening iTunes, if iTunes opens, you will have an empty library, then you can import iTunes Library.xml.
    There are instructions here:

  • Why does this error message appear when opening Ffox?

    ent returned failure code: 0x80520015 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED) [nsIFileInputStream.init]" nsresult: "0x80520015 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://xdmdownloadmgr/content/overlay.js :: anonymous :: line 110" data: no]
    This just started to happen today! Ffox does not open until i click "OK" in box w/error message listed above. This box appears at top left of desktop. A 2-step process that is aggravating.

    yup happens on all of the Apple Discussion from my testing.
    I think it has to do with the WWDC Apple site redesign. Notice how there are the new grey buttons at the top? But when you go to the Login page you see the old purple and white (which I prefer, but that's another topic). I think that the login page(s?) haven't been updated and that's causing problems.

  • Error message 0xB3F1A01C when opening printer

    I add the error message 0x83C00009. But I was able to remove the cartridge and now it changed to 0xB3F1A01C A google search doesn't give any results. The power button continuously flash. The inside of the printer doesn't make anything move, it's like dead. What does this error message means?

    Hi davidfromatlantic beach,
    Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you may need to uninstall iTunes and other components. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

  • I am getting error message ata when opening a 10 year old file

    I have a customer that is asking for his art from 2002 that we have saved, but I can't open it in CS5 or CS6. I can see it in the preview window of CS5 but it almost opens and then gives an "ata" error and opens a blank document. Any idea how I can open this file?

    You should read about the recovery feature in Illustrator a part of whoich is to open the file in a text edit app once opened it looks to me that the word Data does not belong there at all or should be on another line in a different string. But I think it does not belong so try deleting it.
    then you resave the file but not as text but as an .ai file then it might open in AI.
    when you have the exo-pression End it means exactly that as string so Data is destroying the expression. and a space might be also something you can try or look at the content following it to see if it belongs there.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried something like the above then try opening iTunes in safe mode (press and hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases. You may find that iTunes opens normally now.

     Hi,
    One of my ex-colleagues has installed a NI-DAQ 6.5 in our system. [And I do not see any other naitional instruments card in the CPU of the computer, may be he removed it] I deleted the account and all his files in the system. When I am trying to install version8.0, its not getting installed and giving me a message that I should uninstall the previous version by going to Add/Remove programs in the control panel.
    I tried doing that, but the "Change/Remove" button does not seem to work...[There is no response and so unable to install the new version...]
    Any idea how can this problem be solved?
    It is a windowsXP operating system with SP2 installed on a machine with P4 processor.
    Thanks
