I can't start my subscription in PS CS5.1?

I'm using Mac Lion, first time using the subscription.
'We were unable to start your subscription for Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 Extended Subscription Edition'
I understand that these are the steps for windows...
The following steps should allow you to resolve your difficulties:
Locate the hosts file.
Click Start, click Run, type "%systemroot% \system32\drivers\etc" and then click OK.
Right-click the file and select Open. Select Notepad for the application to open the hosts file.
Save a backup of the file. Choose File > Save As. Name the file hosts.backup and click OK.
Find 127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com and delete this entry.
Save the file and close it.
Help please.

Here are the steps for Mac OS:
Open a Finder window. Choose Go > Go To Folder.
Type "/etc" (make sure that you are is logged in as an administrator).
Select the hosts file and open it.
Look for any entries that refer to activate.adobe.com and delete them. For example, 127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com and delete this entry.
Save the file and close it.

Have you ever been able to use this subscription or is this your first time subscribing?

  • Can't start Photoshop Subscription because of expired trial-version.

    I tested the CS6 Photoshop Extended Trial-version and after it expired I bought "Photoshop CS6 Subscription Edition (monthly)". I downloaded and installed it. Now when I start it all I see is the "Trial expired"-window.
    I tried de- and re-installing everything, tried cleaning the registry, tried the Adobe CS removal tool – nothing helped.
    The "Trial expired"-window has a button to enter a serial number, but the monthly subscription didn't come with one – I checked all "My Adobe" subpages I could find. There wasn't a serial number in E-Mails either.
    Hope someone can help, thanks alot!

    I could finally fix the problem with the help of Adobe support. For everyone with the same problem:
    1. Deinstall Photoshop.
    2. Delete the following files (replace "Programme" with the Program Files-Folder of your language):
    C:\Programme (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\caps\"caps.db"
    C:\Programme (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\backup\"caps.db"
    C:\Programme (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\caps\"media_db.db"
    C:\Programme (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\"pcd.db"
    C:\Programme (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache\"cache.db"
    3. Redownload and reinstall Photoshop.
    4. Start Photoshop and login with your Adobe-ID.
    Done!

  • When I try to open Photoshop it says it can't start my subscription, even though it's being paid for. How do I make it work again?

    I have a PC computer and I've had my subscription since January or February and it's been working fine until a few days ago, when it randomly stopped working and gave me that message when I tried to open it. Then just yesterday, it sent a confirmation that my Photoshop subscription bill had been paid, so I know the subscription is still intact--it's just not letting me use Photoshop.

    Well no, it's just been installed on my computer forever and so I tried to open a document into Photoshop like usual, but it didn't work and kept saying it couldn't connect to my subscription. And no matter how many times I hit "try again," it doesn't work.

  • Help with starting my subscription on cs5?  Says they're unable to start my subscription?

    My serial code is valid but it says (quote) "We are unable to start your subscription for Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 Extended Subscription Edition".  Please help!  I'm eager to try this photoshop considering many people have recomended it over CS6!!

    Photoshop CS5.1 (12.1) was the first version which supported subscription licensing.

    I can't recall how the activation was handled back then though. Where did you purchase the subscription? Do you have access to the current Photoshop CC subscription version, and does it launch?

  • I started my subscription to Creative Cloud before I knew it would not be ready until June

    Can I put my subscription on hold until Illustrator is available as a Creative Cloud App?

    Huh? AI CS6 is included in the current CC. You can start working now. of course if you need a specific feature of the "new" CC version, you wil lhave to wait until then...

    I had it open a few minutes ago.  Closed it and went to reopen to no avail. How can I open and continue to work?

    Does your Cloud subscription properly show on your account page?
    If you have more than one email, are you sure you are using the correct Adobe ID?
    https://www.adobe.com/account.html for subscriptions on your Adobe page
    If yes
    Some general information for a Cloud subscription
    Cloud programs do not use serial numbers... you log in to your paid Cloud account to download & install & activate... you MAY need to log out of the Cloud and restart your computer and log back in to the Cloud for things to work
