Mylenium,
Before downloading CS4 again, how do I uninstall the versions that are currently on my Mac?
Many thanks for your help!

    My Iphone has stopped charging, what can i do?

    Does it still work normally otherwise?
    Does it sync normally?
    Have you tried a different computer? Wall charger?
    Try:
    - Resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restoring the iPod from backup
    - Restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Transferring CS4 from an old Mac to a new one, I get a notice saying "licensing for this product has stopped working" Error 150:30. Don't know what to do? Thanks.

    I'm trying to migrate my CS4 from my old Mac to my new one. When trying to open photoshop, i get a message saying "Licensing for this product has stopped working." And "Error: 150:30" I don't know what to do from here. Can someone help me? Thanks.

    "Migrating" and/or "transferring" an application is not just asking for trouble but demanding it!
    Always install an Adobe application from scratch, from the original media: CD or download.

  • What does "licensing for this product has stopped working, Error 150:30" indicte?

    My CS4 has stopped working. I get the message..." licensing for this product has stopped working, Error 150:30"  After taking all the steps  listed and uninstalling CS4 and Reinstalling it I finally got it working again ( which took a couple of hours of down time)  Now ...every time I turn my computer off and back on, I get the same message again, and must go thru the 2 hours "fix"... any suggestions.  Adobe Support has been less than helpful with this... which is unusual.

    PhotoDeb, I have the same problem with my CS4 suite. I get the 150:30 error, "licensing has stopped working."
    Fortunately, I'm subscribed to CC, so I can still open all CS4 files with CC apps.
    BUT, I DO want to get my CS4 working again.
    Have you been successful yet, in getting your CS4 back to working as it should?
    I tried downloading the "License Repair Tool" [www.adobe.com/support/contact/licensing.html] file from Adobe, but it didn't work.
    I have read that if it is downloaded with Safari (as I did), it won't work; that it has to be downloaded with Chrome or a browser other than Safari.
    Also, I deleted the FLEXnet Publisher preferences folder. But, I now wish I had simply moved it to the Desktop, instead of trashing it entirely.
    So far, I haven't done anything about reinstalling CS4.
    QUESTION: From what you've learned, is it recommended to UNinstall CS4 suite (like you did) BEFORE reinstalling it?

    it says:  You cannot use this product at this time.  You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT admin or Adobe customer support for help.
    Well it seems I am only able to install this on a maximum of 3 computers so if I uninstall and reinstall I may have used up all three.  What caused this in the first place?

    And most licenses extend to 2 machines; not 3.  Your computer's clock probably reset when you changed batteries. Is your computer's clock set to the correct date and time now?

  • What does "licensing for this product has stopped working"

    What does "Licensing for this product has stopped working." mean?

    Hi ,
    The error "Licensing for this product has stopped working" is related to the activation component of Creative Suite 3 and 4 software. It is related to a problem with the FlexNet Service.
    This error often comes when the Adobe software is migrated from one computer to another rather then installing it properly.
    Please check the link , it might be help:- http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/error-licensing-stopped-mac-os.html
    However if you have used the migration tool to transfer the software I would recommend to install the software using the original media.

  • Can't run FW CS3! "Licensing for this product has stopped working."

    I purchased and downloaded FW CS3 this morning. I received my
    serial number and once the file had completed downloading I ran the
    installer. Everything seems to be working fine, and the install
    finished without a hitch. I then tried to open the application as
    was greeted with the following error message:
    Licensing for this product has stopped working.
    You cannout use this product at this time. You must repair
    the problem by unistalling and then reinstalling this product of
    contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for
    help."
    I've unistalled (using the adobe utility) and reinstalled
    twice without any luck.
    I'm on OS X 10.4.9 w/an Intel Core Duo and 1GB of ram. I had
    previously installed the Fireworks CS 3 Beta, but uninstalled it a
    month or so ago.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Shaun,
    This is a user to user forum. You'll need to contact Adobe

  • Need help with Photoshop and "Licensing for this product has stopped working" message. Adobe fix isn't working.

    I am still using CS3. A while back I received an error: "Licensing for this product has stopped working" for my CS3 programs. I used the recovery program suggested by Adobe and was able to get Illustrator, Flash and Dreamweaver to work, but I still can't open Photoshop or In Design. I went back to the Adobe site and did every other trick they suggested to fix the error, but nothing has worked.
    I then tried to uninstall photoshop from my CS3 suite (so I could reinstall) but got a JavaScript Alert: "Critical errors were found in set up. Please see set up log for file details." Seeing as I am not the best with the behind the scenes technical stuff, I have no idea what this means or where the set up log even is. Any help anyone can provide?
    I have had CS3 installed on my computer for over a year. I started having problems about 4 months ago.

    I am having similar problem.  Can't open any of CS3 programs after trying to download Dreamweaver Trial, which wouldn't work because "couldn't remove DLM extention" error message.  So now I can not run Illustrator, Photoshop, or even Adobe Reader.  These are properly licensed for about a year. I get "License for product has stopped working".  Have 2 pending cases open with Adobe support (one for Dreamweaver trial, one for license problem) since 8/3 with NO ANSWERS - It says answers within 1-3 business days.  Was on phone support hold today for over 3 hours before line went dead with no help.  What is up with adobe support?  Can anyone help?

  • Licensing of this product has stop working (since uninstall using your uninstaller)

    Then i installed again using cd that i bought from local distributor here.
    UNFORTUNATELY, My Adobe Premiere Pro were not working.
    T.T
    For couple of weeks i looked for the solution on google. i have tried many things,
    i have read and done everything what explained in http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405970.html and http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_cpsid_49485_en-us,
    i have searched this problem in this forum too few months ago, and coould find any solution.
    And now i really want to know why this happened, I have reinstall again and again with no success, :'(
    thanks

    Beyond the steps in the Adobe KB, and those outlined in other threads, there is not much that any of us can do.
    I, and many others, have found that Adobe Customer Service (not Technical Service) is good and quick, at handling licensing issues. The last time that I needed them, it took all of 5 mins., including hold-time, to get a licensing issue fixed. Now, that was some years ago, and things seemed to have deteriorated, Adobe has made a pledge to improve C/S to how it used to be. Have not used them recently, so have no current comments, but I would call them. Remember, Customer Service, and not Technical Service.
    Good luck, and hope that they can help you.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS4 message: "Licensing for this product has stopped working." I have the serial number but not the media. How do I use the software?

    I recently tried to use Photoshop CS4 that I have on my computer but I get the message:"Licensing for this product has stopped working." I have the serial number but not the media. How can I use this version?

    You can get the installer here: Download CS4 products
    It will install as a fully functional 30 day trial. Entering your serial number will convert it to a permanent version, Standard or Extended, depending on what serial number you purchased.
    If you still have the license problem. get back to me with your OS details and the error code.

  • Licensing for this product has stopped working - Acrobat 9 Pro Trial Edition

    Before committing to purchase of 50 licenses for the office, I though I'd better make sure Acrobat 9 Pro works on my laptop. Nyet
    I am totally frustrated by spending 20 minutes installing the package, only to get a "licensing for this product has stopped working" "You cannon use this product at this time"
    I've reinstalled - twice
    I've followed instructions relative to Flexnet service.
    Anyone have a do this and Acrobat 9 will work list of instructions - preferably something that will work in a batch file since I don't want to spend two weeks getting the units on our network to work with Acrobat 9.
    TIA

    OK - or i should say not OK!!
    I am running the licensed version of Acrobat 9 Pro on Mac OSX. It is installed on 2 of my MacBook Pro 17" laptops. These machines are respectively 1 month and 14 months old, and both are completely up-to-date software wise. 3 weeks ago Acrobat presented the error message "Licensing for this product has stopped working" and then quits. Searching through the error logs reveals the following: No matching processes were found. Shutting down licensing service ...
    I have meticulously, several times worked through all the recommended steps on the Adobe site to address this issue but to no avail. Booting up in safe mode makes no difference. In desperation I re-installed the OS, but to no avail. My several and extended communications with Adobe online help have left me chatting with what sounded like a couple of uni students from India who had insufficient understanding of English, Macs and Acrobat. After 3 weeks my case has been closed twice by Adobe who report that they believe my issue is resolved and have therefore closed my case. Great!!! What's more, occasionally Safari is presented online with a pdf file which it attempts to load, and then crashes.
    This issue has seriously affected my ability to work with and create pdf's which in my work as a medical researcher is essential. To add insult to injury, I have wasted too many precious hours attempting to rectify the situation.
    The bottom line is caveat emptor (buyer beware). Adobe it seems are committed to making a sale but not to follow-up, service or genuine concern for their customers. When some company produces a less buggy (and cheaper) alternative I will be definitely be buying their wares.
    In the interim, if anybody out there can advise me as to how to get Acrobat working again, I would be most grateful.
    Have a great day.

  • CS4 won't start up on my new computer. The error message I get is "Licensing for this product has stopped working."

    CS4 won't start up on my new computer. The error message I get is "Licensing for this product has stopped working."  Both the old and new computer are MACs and the error code I get is 150:30.  It says to restart the computer or open another application in the suite, but neither helps.  It says if nothing helps to contact Adobe support, but this is the only way I'm given to contact adobe support.  Can I really not use my purchased software on my new computer?  What do I do to activate the license on the new computer?

  • Get "Licensing for this product has stopped working" error on my New Mac with old Adobe software

    hi people, i've recently purchased a new machine and can't work out how to get Illustrator cs3 or photoshop cs5 working on it...
    photoshop says "Licensing for this product has stopped working. you cannot use this product at this time. you must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help", which is strange as it said some different before i tried asking adobe support about this...
    illustrator says the same thing.
    customer support said i need to ask here because they can't provide support for these products.

    thanks for response, let's start the dialogue.
    what OS version?: OS version 10.9.3
    Have you deactivated Photoshop on the old machine? No, i am not inclined to try this as i do need a working version for work, customer support tells me that i've purchased a serial key but they won't tell me what it is, just that i could try using it...  can't find any reference to this on my machine though:(
    On how many computers have you (or someone else) installed Photoshop and register with your license?1 i think..
    Have you tried uninstalling, cleaning and re-installing? no, though i've tried to find out how and can't even manage that:(   went to the adobe site and could only find their creative cloud thing which requires me to pay monthly:/...
    thanks
