Error message starting PSE 8 English on Mac Intel Italian

Question

I am using Photoshop Elements on Mac OSX 10.5.8 (actually, I have just bought PSE…). The general system language of the computer is Italian. The PSE 8 language is English. I would let you know that I have a similar problem: a message "Licensing stopped working" appears every first time I launch PSE after each restart of my Mac. Fortunately, it seems that launching it a second time works well (no errors from the second time onwards: I can launch PSE as many times as I want without problems, until I restart my Mac the next time).
I repeat: this happens with OSX 10.5.8, *Italian* language, PSE in an English edition (English Edition for Europe, I see on the box, not for America).
I spent two hours today following all the instructions on the Adobe forums, including the official technical note, deleting the FLEXnet Publisher folder, using the LicenseRecovery tool properly, changing permissions, all according to the instructions, but it did not solve the problem.
After that, I decided to keep launching PSE 8 twice, since it is only a minor annoyance… but, well, it is disturbing, and I really hope that an update will be released as soon as possible.
I decided to write this since I had not read yet on this forum about problems with Italian language versions: I hope it will be useful to Adobe.

The problem has partially been resolved, thanks to the patience and kindness of Ankush and his team.
Not really a definitive solution (so I still hope that an update of PSE 8 for Mac will appear in the future, fixing the problem directly), but a good workaround.
They have discovered that the problem disappears if I make one of two things, that is if I switch the local system language to English (which I cannot do for various reasons) or if I delete the Flexnet preferences in StartupDisk:Library:Preferences:FLEXnet Publisher:FLEXnet.
After this was discovered, I made a short AppleScript which deletes these preferences on each computer startup. This is a workaround, but it's effective.
Therefore, I think it could be useful for some other users to know something more about this sort of workaround:
I wrote a Script in AppleScript, in this form:
set theFolder to "StartupDisk:Library:Preferences:FLEXnet Publisher:FLEXnet"
tell application "Finder"
if exists theFolder then
delete theFolder
empty the trash
end if
end tell
I saved the script as an application in a convenient place.
I listed it as a Login item in my Account preferences in System Preferences (checking also "hide item") so that it runs automatically at every startup of my Mac.
The nice thing is that it works either if I have used PSE or if I haven't (thanks to the "if exists" procedure).
The only problem is that each user should personalize this script with the name of his "StartupDisk" and the localized names (that is, the names in his local language) of the folders "Library" and "Preferences".
The potential serious danger is that this script deletes everything one has in the Trash at that moment (to avoid this, one can remove the "empty the trash" line, but in this case multiple folders named "FLEXnet" will accumulate in the Trash).
This is not a problem for me, since I never leave important things in the Trash, but it might be so for another user.
So, problem partially solved with a rather good workaround.
