How to run Creative Suite 3: license has expired

I get a message when I try to run Creative Suite 3 on a Mac mini that the license is out of date, so I can't run the program even though I installed it from the original disks. This seems abusrd to me. In any case someone at Adobe told me to go to this forum for a work-around. I hope there is one.
By the way, I was told by a person at Adobe support that CS3 will not run on Lion since Lion does not support Rosetta. Is there a work around for that? Lion seems awful to me at the present hour.

If the apps are PPC apps they will not run in Lion, no matter what. You can use:

Creative Suite 4 - Licensing has stopped working

I was using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro today, and I received an error to restart my PC, and open another program. When I tried to open Photoshop, I received an error message: "Licensing for this product has stopped working. This product has encountered a problem which requires that you restart your computer before it can be launched. If you continue to see this message after restarting your computer, please contact either your IT administrator or Adobe Technical Support for help, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of this screen. Error 148:3 "
What is wrong, and how can I rectify this? Has anyone heard of this problem recently?

Adobe will no longer validate the license of products prior to Creative Cloud.
I don't know where you get your information, Nordstrom, but CS6 is still available as a perpetually licensed product. And if you own CS versions prior to 6, they are still valid for as long as you own the product.
Beginning with Creative Cloud, Adobe is using a subscription model for payment & software distribution which I have no problem with since many software developers are using similar models. The Adobe Creative Cloud software installs on your machine exactly the same way other CS products did. More importantly, updates are rolled out regularly as soon as they become available so there's no more waiting 18 mos for the next product upgrade cycle. For me, that's a definite plus. Your mileage may vary.

How to synchronize Creative Suite applications for consistent color?

Wondering how to synchronize Creative Suite applications for consistent color? (On a Mac.)

artificial "suites"
I don't agree with that; some of these applications are very tightly integrated with a seamless cross-app workflow.
Anyway: In itself, there's no particular reason to have the apps "synchronized". Requirements are different in the various apps, and my color settings are deliberately unsynchronized. But until you understand more about what the different color settings do, it's a simple safeguard against surprises.
In Photoshop, working on RGB (or CMYK) raster image material, the all-important thing is to have color management policies set to "preserve embedded profiles". Any other setting is trouble waiting to happen. You may also want to work in a large space like ProPhoto to have maximum editing headroom.
But as soon as you get into CMYK and/or vector territory with ID and Ai, you don't want that because it can lead to a number of other problems on press. For CMYK you'll want to ignore profiles and preserve numbers, then reassign the correct profile for output. Using ProPhoto for RGB vector is also totally pointless. Just mentioning this to put this into context.
If you do want to synchronize, you do it in Bridge as station two said. But all it means is having the same settings in each app's color settings, and you can do that manually as well.

How to know whether SAP license has expired using SDK

Hello ,
How to get information whether the system SAP License has expired or not .So that if expired then the addon will not work .
By using which function i cen get that information .
Thanks,
Amit

Amit,
If you are looking to find this information out via code ... you should review this blog ...
/people/lisa.mulchinock/blog/2009/05/08/sap-business-one-license-api
Other than via code, I believe you would get a warning when the user tried to log in that the license expired.

Hi all,
I have downloaded WebLogic Platform 7.0 from

and installed it after a number of unsuccessful tries due to
unsufficient resources on my PC. When it was finally installed I tried
to run the server, using the workshop, petstore and examples -> start
server, but
all of them give me this error:
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ License Exception $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Unable to start WebLogic Server!!
WebLogic: license has expired!

The WebLogic Platform 7.0 was downloaded on Wed, 23 Oct 2002. Installed this weekend.
I appreciate any help on this. Thank you.

License has expired message

I'm trying to download the trial version of Adobe
Dreamweaver. Everytime I open it, it says "License has expired". I
tried uninstall and reinstall a number of times, and I get the same
message. How can I fix this?
Thank you.
I have a mac osx and its dreamweaver CS4.
I hat the beta version, but I uninstalled that, too. I went
into Library/Appliationsupport/adobe and looked for a file called
adobe PCD because someone suggested that might work, no such file
exists on my computer.
Please help!
Thank you.

This error might be a result of using the beta. The beta was
available for a few months (well more than the 30 days). You may
have to contact Adobe support about this because it is not
something that people on the forums would be able to help you with
if there is a solution because it probably has to do with the Adobe
installer and how it records timings.

Hi, my free trial license has expired, and I am wondering if it's possible to only pay for one month for after effects without locking for a year with monthly fee. I only need this for a project that is ending next week.

Dream Spark VS 2013 Professional "This license has expired" on new install

Help!
I registered on Dream Spark, got verified, and downloaded the iso image for Visual Studio Professional.
I burned it to a DVD, ran the install program and everything seemed to install smoothly on my Windows 7 PC.
When I launch VS, however, I get a pop-up in the Start Page titled: "Product Information", saying... "License: Prerelease Software" and "This license
has expired". Then, the only thing it allows me to do is click "Close", which shuts down the whole program.
I do have a Product Key provided on the Dream Spark download page, but can't figure out how to enter it anywhere since it doesn't allow me to get to the Help menu. It does
allow me to sign in to my Microsoft account, and I've done that, but it doesn't help in getting past the license issue. I have uninstalled, and reinstalled the whole package, and still have the same problem.
I've been hunting around online for a solution. I've found others with the same problem but haven't found a solution that works for me. I don't see the exact problem addressed
in any of the Forum entries here.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Clean install - "License Has Expired" problem

My computer died last week so I bought a new Gateway PC running Vista. I've been able to re-install everything except Photoshop CS3. This is a new-from-the-factory PC that never had any version of Photoshop installed. I installed CS3 from my downloaded installer and entered the registration key but get the "Product license has expired" error when I try to launch the program. I even went to my Adobe Product Registrations page to double-check that I had the correct license #.
I followed the steps on this web site to uninstall, run the CS3Clean script, and deleted the cache.db file. Upon re-installation the setup program seems to accept the serial number with a green check mark, but then when I try to launch the program I get the "license has expired" error again. Frustrating!
I obtained CS3 legitimately as a pre-release tester and it worked fine up until my old PC died last week. And I was able to successfully re-install my Mac version of CS3 just a few weeks ago.
Anyone have any good ideas before I try the uninstall/clean process again?

Thanks for the idea! However I already disabled UAC before I even tried to install CS3, and I did attempt the install using an administrator account (the only user account on the machine, currently).

Product license has expired???????

Here is my problem,
I downloaded the Photoshop CS4 and CS3 trial off of the Adobe site. I uninstalled them both after i was done using them. So then i went and bought Photoshop CS3 ( i got it for a good price). So i installed it, it want fine after i finished, i clicked on it to fun it and it says product license has expired. so i have uninstalled it and reinstalled it a few times and nothing. I emailed Adobe and they said the problem should be fixed so i tried again and it keeps happening. So does anyone have any ideas? that would be great

Actually, I'm sorry to say but I think they may be right. I went through the same thing a few years back when I bought a copy of Photoshop 7 on ebay. It all looked legitimate. These guys can produce very authentic looking things. The seller offered me my money back upon the mention of it being a pirate, said I didn't need to send it back, but swore it was real. i picked up elements, and now I finally have CS4 from a trusted reseller.
If you do a search on google for "ebay pirate photoshop", I'm sure something will come up... like this: http://community.contractwebdevelopment.com/how-identify-pirated-versions-adobe-photoshop
This is a common thing on Amazon too. Get in contact with the seller, and hopefully you paid by paypal, they might be able to get your money back. Check their other auctions, and see how many other high priced software they are selling.
Actually, hopefully we are wrong and you actually got a good deal and this is a technical problem, but I just have a feeling that its not legit.
Take care and good luck.
EDIT: Whoops I missed the part where you said you purchased through amazon. get in touch with Amazon and your credit card company (if you used one).
