I am getting an error message error: 150:30 on new iMac

PSE worked fine on old Mac. Bought new one and all my other apps are working fine but pse. I get msg below. Ive restarted with no success. I don't have the original download or a CD. Any ideas?

I'm afraid you're kind of stuck unless you can find your original media. You can never, never, never successfully transfer an installed copy of PSE from one drive to another. PSE is not a tidy package like most mac apps and it strews stuff all over your hard drive. Neither you nor the Migration Assistant can find all the bits and pieces.
You always have to install from scratch on a new drive. With PSE 8 mac this is a problem, since you can't enter a serial number into the trial and disc versions and downloads had mutually incompatible serial numbers then. Adobe makes other versions of PSE available for download, including PSE 8/win, but not the mac version of PSE 8 because of this.
You really need to find your original installation media to get any further with this. If you can track that down I can tell you how to clean up the mess on the new drive so that you can install it, but without that there's not much to be done, unfortunately.

  • Error: 150:30 on new iMac with Lion

    Hello,
    My InDesign CS4 does not start after I bought a new iMac (August 2011) with Lion (with the latest updates of Apple):
    'Licensing for this product has stopped working (...)
    Error: 150:30'
    Restarting the computer, as suggested in the message, doesn't work.
    Can anyone tell me what to do to solve this problem?
    Thank you!
    Edzard Krol

    Thanks for the reply. I did try all other suggestions. According to many posts, these steps worked for many people, just not me. Perhap the following will be useful for someone in my predicament:
    - I didn't have FLEXnet Publisher in Prefs (it didn't migrate with everything else to my new iMac).
    - Someone actually said they had success when they added FLEXnet Publisher back to their prefs, but that didn't work for me, either.
    - I changed permissions on the files they suggested, didn't work.
    - I repaired permissions with Disk Utility, didn't work.
    - And finally, could not open License Recovery (error said PPC no longer supported, as I mentioned).
    BUT: this did finally work (which I found here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3857489):
    Utilities/Terminal, paste: sudo python '/Volumes/LicenseRecovery 11.6.1/LicenseRecovery/'LicenseRecover.py
    I did all the steps on the screen until it was complete, then I was able to open PS, which prompted me for my serial number. Worked. There might hve been an easier way that I missed, but I'm just glad it's fixed. Do you really think CS 4 is that old? It's only one version ago, no?
    Thanks again,
    Lisa

  • Error 150:30 on new iMac with Yosemite

    I upgraded from an 8-year old iMac to a new iMac with Yosemite. After migrating everything over, I can't run PSE because it said some files were missing. I re-installed the software using my original disk. Then I got a 150:30 Error. Help!

    You can never, never migrate an installed copy of PSE. It's just too complex and has bits scattered all over your hard drive. Unfortunately, one of the things that does migrate is the file that tells PSE it's not on the authorized drive anymore. To deal with this at this point you will need to download and run this:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    After which you can go around and manually remove all the bits of PSE that you can find, not only from Applications, but also from the library at the top level of your hard drive>application support>adobe, and your username>library>preferences. Spotlight will not help you here; it's programmed to skip these kinds of files. If you need help finding those libraries, post back.

  • I keep getting Error 150:30 on my iMac 10.9.5 when I try to open CS4

    I recently updated my iMac, now I get the Error 150:30 when I try to open CS4 and Elements...I've already tried to troubleshoot as suggested in other threads and it does not work. Please Help?

    Courtesy of R_Kelly:
    The 150:30 error means licensing broke.
    Two ways to fix this: If you are used to the Terminal app, you download the license recovery package and following instructions carefully, you use the python script in the package.  Error "Licensing has stopped working"  | Mac OS
    If for some reason it doesn't, reinstall CS4 from your discs, or download the CS4 installer here.

    Anyone know how to get harman kardon soundsticks II to work on new iMac Mavericks??

    I'm using the original HK Soundsticks on a 2013 MacBook Air running Mavericks.
    Don't they show up in the Sound Preferences?  Are they plugged directly into your iMac?
    Little more info would help.

  • A few days ago I bought my first IMAC. I needed to download Mountain Lion, and I would get it for free as it's a new IMAC. Apple sent me a 'content code' - several times - because every time I enter it, it says the code is wrong.

    Sorry, but Apple's Migration feature doesn't work with Adobe applications.
    1. Use the Cleaner tool to remove what you copied onto your computer:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    2. Install CS4 from your original install discs, or from your back of the CS4 install files.
