Issues with CS3 Licensing

Hello, My CS3 programs have stopped working since I loaded them back on from a time machine backup. Upon opening any of the programs, the following dialog appears:
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling from the discs, but cannot get past this. What should I do? Thank you for the help.

Small issue with CS3 / CS4 in Vista 64

Hello,
Recently made the move from XP 32 to Vista 64 and I'm having
issues with CS3 and CS4 when it comes to inserting images and/or
browsing for background images in a CSS file.
The first issue I have is where the cursor starts out. See
the image below:
http://img391.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ps1hb9.png
Currently when the select image dialog appears, my cursor is
nowhere to be found. This is easy enough to get around with the
n key but annoying none the less.
My second issue is more upsetting. When I type in the name of
a folder (for example the Downloads folder from the previous
picture) and press the enter key, a strange character followed by a
colon and a backslash is added (:\). The character changes but the
colon and backslash is always the same.
See:
http://img513.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ps2cm6.png
This never happened on XP32 but for some reason Vista (and I
tried out server 2008 as well) 64 bit causes this issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Mike

Zoodia, do you have the same problem with Vista 32 and what
version of vista do you have?
Or does nayone else has the same problem with Vista and
please include version and 32 or 64 bits.

Several issues with CS3

I have several issues with CS3. When I used Contribute 2 I
had no problems with the following.
1. I've imported from Word & copy & pasted but when I
align photos left, text on right and then publish, the pages goes
kookie and all out of alignment
2. Not able to resize/change color of text on master page but
am able to only when I make a new page
3. I get spaces between lines when I don't want them and
can't get spaces or move text over when I want to
4. I noticed that on my edit pages, sometimes the content
changes font size but it's okay when published
Can anyone help ? Thanks

That's right. If you type text and select one of the
available styles, fine.
But, as soon as you try to change color, font size, or any
other attribute,
Contribute will create a new style all on it's own.

I looked at your style sheet. You only have white and black
as font colors.
The red color is a result of a Contribute-created style
(style 4) in one
instance and a font tag in another instance.

The code doesn't really look all that good. For instance, on
the Conference
page, it looks like, for the photo cutline, you simply hit
the space bar to
move the text over to try to center the cutline below the
photo. You -could-
just create a centered style or tell Contribute to center
that paragraph and
it should create a centered style for you.
When I paste from a Word doc, I try to paste as unfomatted
text.

Issue with RDS Licensing on Windows 2008 R2

I'm attempting to consolidate 2 very small Citrix environments (only two total servers in each environment) into a single farm and when attempting to migrate RDP applications to what will be the full production environment, I'm receiving the following error
on only 1 of the 2 servers regardless of who launches:
The remote session was disconnected because there are no Remote Desktop client access licenses available for this computer.
Here's where it gets really interesting:
All servers are running Win 2008 R2 and are at the same patch level
In the environment I want to retire, each server has it's own Remote Desktop licenses that are on a Per Device level.
In the environment I want to migrate to, each server has it's own Remote Desktop licenses, one server is (currently) set to Per Device, the other Per User - but the one that is Per User is the one that can connect successfully.
I've attempted to change the RD Session Host Configuration to point only at the server that appears to be successfully allowing connections with no success.
I've reviewed other threads of similar error messages and none seem to apply.
I'm at a loss, please help.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
From your desciption it seems that you have set the RDS CAL to per device on one server and the one which is facing error, you are pointing that server to the server which is already set as Per device CAL and thus you are facing the error. Means The RD licensing
mode on the Remote desktop server set to Per Device, while the license server might have only Per User CALs.
If this is the case, the license server issues only temporary licenses that cannot be upgraded. When the temporary licenses are within several days of expiring, "Event ID 26, Source: Application Pop-up" appears in the application event log on the client.
The event message indicates the number of days remaining before the temporary license expires. Similarly, "Event ID 1011, Source TermService" appears in the application event log on the terminal server.
There are solution to this issue by changing the license mode and check the result. Also it can be possible that the remote desktop server might not be able to locate the license server.
Please go through below link carefully. (As it’s for server 2003 but we can verify the solution as described)
Troubleshooting Remote Desktop Licensing Error Messages
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc756826(v=ws.10).aspx#BKMK_12
In addition, you can try following solution.
1 - Open regedit
2 - Go to this location HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSLicensing
3 - Then Delete MSLicensing key totally.
4 - Now reconnect to the same server machine through remote desktop.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Issue with CS3 Bridge and Flash 10?

Im not finding any help and Im trying to trouble shoot this myself, since I updated to Firefox 3.0.8 apparently the latest version of flash was updated at the same time?
My computer shows Flash 10.0.22.87 (running XP) as being installed in programs but tools>addons> plugins shows 10.0 r22. Is this how it is supposed to be? I've removed and reinstalled this a few times but they never match up.
I've tried back dating to older versions of FF when things ran smoothly as this is the only issue Ive ever had with FF in the years I've used it, but that doesn't seem to help because its still the same flash plugin. Ever since this update I haven't been able to use some other programs such as Adobe Bridge and even AOL since they both have flash components I guess?
I've done a forums search and I keep thinking it has to be something simple like a setting that needs to be changed but I cannot find it. I did delete the old flash folder as suggested in some of the other threads but no change. If anyone has even a decent lead please reply as I've been working on this for 3 days in and out of safe mode but even then I cant run any programs with flash. I have no crash logs because the entire system locks up and I have to do a hard reset. Thank you.

Hi Cyboide,
               Actually, I am new to Flash platform. I have developed a flash file and (.fla and .swf files are created) this .swf file I need to use within our project(based on Java) which is to be run in localhost. So, I had followed these steps as I saw in Google Help:
1.) I had opened .fla file(First.fla) and goto File -> PublishSettings -> Formats tab.
2.) In this tab, I had selected .html and .swf checkboxes and deselected remaining all.
3.) Click on "Publish" button and then "OK" button.
So, a html file with same name as that of .fla/.swf file is created in the same folder beside thes .fla and .swf files.
I think it is clear upto this point.
                 Now,
                            If I open my .swf file simply in a browser window(Mozilla), I can view the contents. But, the Buttons, checkboxes, Combo-boxes etc., controls have no access(i.e., any animation, tweening works well but there is no user interaction).
                           Else, When I open my project in localhost(Java project), here somewhere i call my flash file(i.e.,First.swf file). But, the contents of .swf file are not viewed in the case of Mozilla Firefox. But, it works well in InternetExplorer browser including my whole project(i.e., all localhost). Hence, no problems when opened in IE.
Please reply me as soon as possible. It is the only issue to end up my project.
Waiting for replies.....
thanks a lot in advance..

Issue with CS3 and audio

Ok, first off, this is my first time using CS3 so hopefully I've done something easy and stupid and it can be fixed. Second, due to this being my first usage of the application I'll also bet good money that I forget to include something helpful in this post so just let me know what to add and I'll do it.
Here's my problem... I have a video file that I imported into Adobe Premiere, I didn't capture the video as I had done that already. When I view the source file outside of Adobe, everything is fine. When I select certain clips and add them to the time line one of two issues occurs: 1) the first few seconds of the clip have a scratchy or choppy sound that obscures the sound or 2)the sound for the entire section of the clip (but not the entire file, some of the file sounds correct) I selected is speeded up, making everyone sound like Mickey Mouse.
Now, again, if I just watch the source file, everything is fine. Also, I was messing around w/ MSFT's Movie Maker and within that project area, the sound sounds perfectly fine BUT when I compile the project and create the outputted file, the same thing occurs... mickey mouse sounds! So, it's kind of aggrevating to me. The file length is something like 12 minutes too, so it's not like I'm putting together an epic film or anything.
And like I said earlier, just let me know what further information I can provide to help in diagnosing my issue and I'll be happy to provide whatever I can.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Joan,
What were your steps in ripping the Audio from the CD? I strongly recommend that one rip the CDA files to PCM/WAV 48KHz 16-bit. Now, the Audio is in 44.1KHz on the CD, so you would do the conversion to 48KHz in, say Audition. Do not compress this CD Audio to anything, like MP3. I like doing the ripping in Audition, and then just Save_As, setting the sample rate to 48KHz for DV Audio.
Using compressed formats, like MP3, can introduce all sorts of OOS (Out Of Sync) issues.
You are correct that correcting dynamic OOS is tedious work. Yes, it can be done, but one does not want to do that, unless there is absolutely no other way around it. Though you are probably way ahead of the tips in this ARTICLE, I'll link to it anyway, just in case. Who knows, there might be just one little tip that's worthwhile.
Good luck,
Hunt

.NEF issues with CS3

Hi,
I run the CS3 suite, and have never had any problems using .NEF files that my Nikon D40x produces, right up until i built a new PC. Previously I was running a 32bit version of XP, now i am running Vista Home Premium 64bit. I have installed Camera Raw 5.2, and Adobe Bridge will recognise my .NEF files, however when I try to open them in CS3 I get the following error message: "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document"
Any ideas?
Thanks
Ben

ACR 5.2 is made for CS4, and will not work in CS3. Have to use the CS3 ACR.
May have to delete previous version, if it does not do it automatically, as only one allowed in directory.

Activation issue with CS3

I'm trying to activate my CS3 software on my Macbook Air. It says I have reached my limit of two computers. The previous computer I was using wouldn't let me deactivate the software, so I uninstalled it. The computer was old and won't restart, so I can't reinstall just to try and deactivate.
I keep trying chat but it has said chat is unavailable every time I've tried.

You need to keep trying chat since they are the only ones capable of resetting your activations. Make sure you have cookies enabled, and if problems persist try using another browser.
For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

Issue with CS6 Licensing

I used the Adobe MSI manager to create an .msi to deploy CS6 to about 500 student laptops. I was told to make sure that the C:\programdata\Adobe\sslstore\adobe.bmp file had everyone full control. This was completed on all of the laptops and now when a student logs in and opens any of the CS6 applications it opens just fine, but when they try to launch it again, it does nothing. I checked the file for permissions and all of the permissions are gone. I log onto the laptop with admin rights and go back into the file and reset the permissions and all of the applications are working again. This is happening randomly accross the school. Around 100 of the laptops are having this problem and some of the ones that have been fixed are breaking again.
How can I trouble shoot this to make sure this does not become an constant problem?
Do I need to revisit the Adobe .MSI Manager?
-or worse yet- Uninstall and reinstall individually computer - by - computer?

Just answered a similar question – see if this discussion helps:

Problems with CS3 and Leopard

Having a bit of a nightmare with Indesign and Photoshop CS3 since upgrading to Leopard. Running a Dual 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5 With 2GB DDR SDRAM. Anyone else having problems?

Below is the Adobe Marketing Line (copied verbatim). It's what I was told by Adobe Sales and what I read at Adobe.com, FAQ, before buying CS3 in October 07. Imagine my surprise when I discovered all of the issues with CS3 and Leopard, even after the update to Acrobat 8.1.2 Professional which promised full compatibility (see chart at bottom).
Apple and Adobe... ARGH.
Oh yes, for all of the new suckers out there who are about to buy CS3 for their new Macs, the exact same FAQ is at Adobe.com, even now, Thursday, 12 Jun 2008.
ADOBE CREATIVE SUTIE 3 Frequently Asked Questions
Support for Mac OS X Leopard
Q. Is Mac OS X Leopard (v10.5) important to Creative Suite 3 customers?
A. Yes, Mac OS X Leopardthe latest version of Apples operating systemdelivers an elegant,
productive new computing experience for creative professionals. Adobe and Apple have been
collaborating closely for months to ensure that Adobe Creative Suite® 3 applications can run
smoothly and reliably on Mac OS X Leopard. We are proud to support this impressive new
operating system, and to ensure that our creative customers can take full advantage of the
performance and value of using Creative Suite 3 applications and Mac OS X Leopard on
Intel-based and PowerPC Macs.
Q. Are Adobe Creative Suite 3 applications compatible with Mac OS X Leopard (v10.5)? If
some are not fully compatible today, when will they be compatible?
A. Thanks to close collaboration between Adobe and Apple, most of the CS3 applications and associated technologies, such as Adobe Bridge CS3, Version Cue CS3, and Device Central CS3, are compatible with Mac OS X Leopard without requiring additional updates. However, the following CS3 applications will require updates for full compatibility with Leopard: Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional and our professional video applications, including Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, After Effects CS3 Professional, Encore CS3, and Soundbooth CS3. We expect to publish free Leopard compatibility updates for the video applications in December 2007 and for Acrobat 8 Professional and Adobe Reader 8 in January 2008. For a complete overview of compatibility between Adobe creative applications and Mac OS X Leopard, see the chart on page 2 of this FAQ.
Q. Will older versions of Adobe creative softwaresuch as Creative Suite 2 and
Macromedia Studio 8 softwaresupport Mac OS X Leopard?
A. While older Adobe applications may install and run on Mac OS X Leopard, they were
designed, tested, and released to the public several years before this new operating system became available. You may, therefore, experience a variety of installation, stability, and reliability issues for which there is no resolution. Older versions of our creative software will not be updated to support Mac OS X Leopard. For a complete overview of compatibility between Adobe creative applications and Mac OS X Leopard, see the chart on page 2.
Q. Will Adobe continue to test CS3 applications on Mac OS X Leopard?
A. Yes. Adobe sets high standards of quality, stability, and reliability for our professional creative
products, and we have worked closely with Apple to test Creative Suite 3 applications on both pre-release versions and the final shipping version of Mac OS X Leopard. While this testing showed that most CS3 applications perform well on Leopard (and that others run well but need updates for a few identified issues), we recognize that other issues may unexpectedly arise on any new operating system. We plan to continue testing and to monitor user experience closely to address any such issues. If you encounter any issues, please report them by going to www.adobe.com/misc/bugreport.html and clicking Report
A Bug. Please note that we dont respond to submissions, but we do review them closely with the appropriate CS3 product teams.
Q. Which CS3 applications will need patches to be compatible with Mac OS X Leopard?
A. The following table summarizes compatibility between Adobe creative applications and Mac OS X Leopard. It notes which CS3 applications require updates for full Leopard compatibility and when Adobe expects to release those free updates.
At A Glance: Mac OS X Leopard Compatibility

HDVsplit scene detect issue using CS3 export

Okay, I first used HDVsplit to read a HDV tape I made using CS3. It seemed to have some dropped frames at a number of places, so I decided to make a new tape. I had the m2t master files on my hard drive, so I decided to try to make a new tape. I used cs3 to export these files to my sony tape unit. No visible issues. But, when I used HDVsplit to try and read the tape, using scene detect, it looks like it thinks there is a scene detect break like every second. Never saw this issues with CS3 before. Any ideas?
Thanks
Dave

Dont use scene detect? Do you not like to manually capture?
Scene detect reminds of those old avid systems with the " auto edit" button. If it were only that easy.

How Do I Correct A Media Player Issue In CS3?

I am using Dreamweaver CS3 with Mac OS 10. 9.5. When I insert an .mp3 file to my web page with a media plug in and attempt to preview it in Safari, I don't see a player control strip. Also, when I'm in the Dreamweaver working environment, and I attempt to play the .mp3 file via the plug in properties palette, Dreamweaver crashes and I get an error report screen. I have not encountered any other issues with CS3 in this version of Mac OS.

Unless you have an appropriate player and browser plugins installed on your system, embedded media files don't do anything. If DW is crashing, it may be that your media file is way too big.
Going forward, the contemporary approach is to use HTML5 <audio> which is supported by all modern browsers including mobile & tablet devices. As an example, copy and paste this code into a new, blank document and preview in browsers.

I have CS2 and would like to do Image Stacking. I understand CS3 allows this. correct? Am I wiser to purchase CS3 upgrade. Am I going to run into issues with install?

Well, I refuse to sign up to pay Adobe a monthly tribute for life too, but that doesn't mean we are limited to CS3.
I'm staying with CS6.
Adobe still sells a perpetual-license to Photoshop CS6 without the subscription model, but it's $700 for the Standard version and a cool $1,000 for the Extended version.
You haven't mentioned your platform, Macintosh or Windows, so make sure CS3 or any other obsolete version you buy actually runs on a modern operating system.
Good luck.

Adobe CS3 Licensing Issue

I have Vista Business, Adobe CS3 with student licensing. It has worked great for three months. Now I'm back in school and I get an error that says "Licensing for this product has stopped working:". It is registered.
I've followed all of the fixes listed here and it still will not work. I have emailed support and they gave me the same fixes as here. Someone must know how to fix it, it's their software.
I tried to uninstall but all I get is the Install Wizard. I went through it once, inserted the disk and waited patiently. I have rebooted each and every time I've made changes. NOTHING WORKS!. I can't even unistall it, that is strange.
Does someone have another method of getting this going again. I have assignments due and it has really caused me a lot of stress.
Thanks for the help,
Paul
