Failure to Install PSE 7 after gettign licensing error (Vista machine)

Hi,
I was happily using PSE 7 for a few months and then got a licensing error. In a misguided attempt to fix that problem I uninstalled PSE 7 and tried to reinstall it (using the remove program app) and now I cannot install PSE 7 on my machine. When I run the installation program for it, it gets almost all the way through installation and then suddenly the last install screen says that it was unable to install and that my system has not been altered. All you can do is press "finish" and be bummed out that you still can't use PSE7.
Any advice? I think there is probably some artifact that PSE 7 has left on the machine that needs to be deleted to make for clean install environment but darned if I can find anything. If you go to the Adobe folder in Program Files, PSE 7 does not show up anymore. (I also had to remove PSE 6 because it stopped working in all of this, as well. PSE 5 is on my system but I haven't tried to open it).
Open to any and all good suggetions. Many thanks, Deb Whitman

Deb,
This Adobe tech note explains how to manually remove all (or at least most) traces of PSE:

Then try reinstalling. If you still get a license error, see this FAQ:

  • Can't install Encore 2.0 on new Vista machine

    Called support on the 800 number today. Waited for 20 minutes only to discover that they can't help me over the phone with the 2.0 version of Encore. They can only support that here on the forum. OK then, here's my issue. This software was purchased by me for my job at a university. It is the educational version of Encore 2.0. My previous computer used for multimedia production was running XP SP2 and everything worked fine with the program. But, the software simply won't install on my new computer which runs Vista with SP1. I did deactivate the software on the old XP machine first, according to the instructions and was told I could now reactivate on a new computer. After going through the install motions at the very end of the process the software said "rolling back" installation and "could not be completed." All very frustrating. I had purchased the upgrade to 2.0 less than 18 months ago. But no tech support by phone. I will now assume that if I were to buy a CS 4 component tomorrow there will not be technical support via phone for the product after 2009. If someone can assist me with this it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Hmm... guess it depends on the individual computer, or exactly what Encore and/or Premiere are doing at the time... 'cause I know I've read messages from people who have tried task switching, and whatever they were doing promptly stopped
    I didn't pay much attention (can't even remember if it was Encore or Premiere, but think Premiere) but it seems to me that if the program was DOING something, like rendering, the operation failed when focus shifted to another program
    Oh well... I've always just started Encore or Premiere and walked away for awhile unti it was done
    So... I guess the best thing to do for anyone who wants to know... start something going in Encore or Premiere and then Alt-Tab to another program, and see what happens

  • Licensing Error 6 After Clean Installing Mac OS 10.8.

    I think it might have something to do with the fact that I forgot to back up the Photoshop Elements Library and Application Support files...I can't find any of the stuff they reference in the Licensing Error 6 Troubleshooting guide.
    Is there way I can reinstall the application without having to buy it again? Do I need to give Adobe some information or something?
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Okay, that never works. PSE isn't a tidy package like most mac apps. The installer strews stuff all over your hard drive like buckshot, most of it in places outside where apple says programs should install things. You will need to download and run this:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
    Then manually delete all the bits you can find. Don't just check applications, but also hard drive>library>application support, and your username>library>preferences. (Let me know if you don't know how to find these.)
    You will need to do a complete install. If you are talking about PSE 10 (which version is this, by the way?), you can download the trial and enter your serial number into that.

  • Sims3 DVD authentification error after installing PSE 6

    I have a strange problem with my MacBook Pro 15". I bought Sims3 and played it some weeks, then I bought PSE 6 for my photo editing needs. Now, the first time I wanted to start Sims 3 after installing PSE 6, the Sims 3 game starts, but when launching the city where to chose from my families, the error message occurs: "Disc-Authentification failed. Check of the Sims 3 Disc has failed, it could not be checked whether the disk is a valid disk."
    Before asking the EA support, I checked updates (none), repaired access rights, checked my disc and reinstalled Sims3.
    The EA Support hotline asked me to do a firmware update for my superdrive, but i don't find an available download.
    Can someone help me?

    Put the first disk in again, and set it to just install the DVD SP content, livetype, and motion content disks... if it fails, call Apple, as you might have a bad disk there.
    But the applications themselves are already installed. What you're missing is the templates on those disks onlly.
    Seems to me you can also just put the other disks in and install them one at a time.
    Also, if this is an upgrade from a previous installation (FCP 5 or whatever) you really should do it as a clean install... all you need to have is your previous serial number.

  • Failure to verify licensing error when attemtping to install Portraiture

    Using Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 and trying to install Imagenomic's Portraiture & Noiseware add-ons.  Both show as installed when viewing my adobe add-ons page, but neither are showing up under filters in the program itself.  When trying to install through the extension manager, I get the error "This extension cannot be installed because licensing verification failed."
    Can anyone help?  Thanks!

    Hi Peter,
    Uninstalling PS CS6 shouldn't make any difference to this problem so I wouldn't feel the need to do that.
    Could you please email me the email address you're logged in as in the Creative Cloud desktop app? (my email address is [email protected])
    If you could also please generate an Extension Manager log file and send it to me, that would be a big help.
    1. Create a file named ExManCoreLibLog.YES. Only the file name is important. The contents of the file don't matter.
    2. Copy this file to "C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Extension Manager CC\Log". If this folder doesn't exist, you can create it.
    3. Launch Extension Manager CC.
    4. Repeat your usual steps until you see the license error
    5. Find the log file in "C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Extension Manager CC\Log"
    Also, can you tell me whether you have any third party firewall software running that may be blocking connections to the licensing server?
    Thanks for your patience with this.
    Best wishes,
    Fraser

  • License Error: License server general failure

    Hi All,
    I have a very strange problem on my computer. Since this morning I cannot open SBO as I get the error License Error : 100000000 License Server General Failure. I have uninstalled the full SBO including deleted all my SBO databases and the SBO-COMMON database. I then deleted my SAP folder in Program Files, restarted my PC and reinstalled SBO... still the same error. Error is just after I click OK on the login window. License Manager seems to be working fine and license also loaded fine.
    Also just wanted to say that my license did not expire (or I don't think so) as I checked my file license text file and it looks like Compatibility License for Add-ons expires 20080115 and the rest of the users 99991231.
    Any help appreciated!
    Adele

    Adele, just try to load once again your license file
    What i have done is cut a little my license file, check 'Write to log' option, and tried to load this damaged file.
    What i've received is:
    1. 'General error occured' message box

  • Failed to Install The New Preview Build. Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80246007: FBL_AWESOME1501 9926 Professional.

    Hello,
    I'm having issues upgrading my Windows 10 Technical Preview installation build 9879 to a newer build that's become available late January 23rd.
    I am installing the new upgrade in a Hyper-V virtual machine and get the following error:
    Failed to install the new preview build, please try again later. 0x80246007
    What could be the problem?
    Previously I've had messages that Windows cannot be upgraded on a computer with less than 2 Gbyte of RAM. That's a Hyper-V VM with dynamic memory and I was highly surprised to see this error; never had this before. Had to set 2048 Mbytes as a minimum memory
    for this VM. Now that I have this 80246007 error code.
    When looking up System log, the following error messages are listed multiple times:
    Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80246007: FBL_AWESOME1501 9926 Professional.
    The errors are returned for the Event ID 20 by WindowsUpdateClient
    in task category Windows Update Agent..
    I reviewed the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability
    registry key as suggested in Windows
    Insider stuck on build 9841 - "No new preview build was found", and here is what it shows:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability]
    "BranchName"="fbl_awesome1501"
    "ThresholdRiskLevel"="low"
    "ThresholdOptedin"=dword:00000001
    Note, when attempting to install the downloaded update from a native boot, installation starts with no errors.
    However, since setup is not supported for a natively booted VHD files, it does not proceed further showing a message that installation on virtual drives is not supported.  
    Looks like Setup is having problems installing in a Hyper-V virtual machine.
    Possibly, some ESD files got corrupted during downloading? Is it possible to remove them and re-download missing files? (I, however, noticed that Windows seems to re-download upgrade files after you restart 9879 and attempt to check for a new build.
    Any clue why installing under VM causes 9926 to fail?
    Thank you in advance.
    Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

    Hi,
    According to the error message, this problem seems like update package installation failed during system upgrade.
    You can try to remove ESD file which locate at boot of C drive and upgrade the system again for test.
    On the other hand, make sure the system 9879 installed all Windows pushed updates before system upgrade.

  • License Error on Final Cut Studio install

    We just purchased Final Cut Studio 5.11 from the Mall of America Apple Store. After entering the serial number for Final Cut Studio, the Install screen moves on to the installation type, but gives me the following error,
    "Licensing Error: The license file will not be written to disk because the user does not have enough privileges"
    I have one account on this machine, which is the Administrator account, I am logged into it during installation, I even have a done a few things that made it ask me for my password, and this still comes up.
    After encountering that error, i was still able to install the software, but none of the programs will run, each asking for name/company/serial, then telling me the liscense file is not found.
    Help!
    thank you!
    Ross Hendrickson

    I can't seem to find the license file, i've looked under library, and application support.
    I have checked on my permissions, and I have read&write permissions to my home folder, applications, system, and both library folders.
    In the Final Cut forum it said people were having problems with upgrading. I had an old version of FCP that I thought I had deleted, but maybe that is causing problems? Should I somehow uninstall all FCS/FCP info and start over?
    thanks!
