License is no longer working Error - 150:30 - CS4

I have seen this question here but have not seen a solution.  I recently (grudgingly) upgraded to Lion 10.7
Now all my CS4 applications won't opne and give me this error that the license is no longer working!  I have gone through all the fixes that Adobe recommends and nothing works.  The only thing I have not done is uninstall everything and reinstall - I am really afraid to do that.
Has anyone found a solution to this?  I am really upset and depend on Dreamweaver and Photoshop for my work!

Hey Marty,
had the same problem here with PSE 8 after system recovery from time machine backup. I also updated to Lion couple of month ago. I also tried all of the listed solutions on the adobe support pages but none of them worked. The folder FLEXNet_Publisher in the systems hard drives folder Preferences, which it says to be deleted does not exist and was only found in the application support folder. I also tried all of the other solutions listed on this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/error-licensing-stopped-mac-os.html  and had more or less the same problems, it did not work.
I found the following solution myself by doing this:
go to the folder [hard drive]/Library/Application Support/FlexNet Publisher and make a copy of this folder
then go to the folder [hard drive]/Library/Preferences and paste this copied folder there.
Then try again to start your application and now it should show you the licenceregistry window. Type in your serial number and confirm. Then the application starts and runs properly. So it was on my system.

  • 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

    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?

  • Problem with new iMac (with Yosemite): Licensing has stopped working Error 150:30

    I have just bought a new iMac and used the Migration Assistant to transfer all my existing programs from my old computer.
    When I try to launch my copy of InDesign CS4, I get the error message:
    Licensing for this product has stopped working
    Error 150:30
    Because new iMacs do not have disk drives, I cannot reinstall using my original DVD disks.
    Adobe’s online support team have said they are unable to help.
    The Licensing Repair application does not work in Yosemite
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    With many thanks
    Greg

    Download CS4 products
    And fix the permissions on the relevant Library folders. The rest is between you and your Mac - as far as Adobe are concerned, CS4 is officially not compatible with Yoesemite.

  • How to fix "Licensing for this product has stopped working - Error 150:30"?

    I cannot pen PSE or Bridge. It get the message "Licensing for this product has stopped working - Error 150:30".
    I assume it is because I recently upgraded my Mac to Yosemite.
    What do I need to do to be able to open PSE again?
    Thank you.

    Thank you. I appreciate your tips. I tried solution 5 and it doesn't work.
    The rest is essentially gibberish to a basic user like myself. I have
    neither the expertise nor the confidence to go into these folders and start
    mucking around in there. Can I please have someone call me and guide
    through the necessary steps. My number is 06 46 40 94 39 (Location: France).

  • PhotoshopCS6 file is not longer working, error message reads unreadable

    PhotoshopCS6 file is not longer working, error message reads unreadable. PLEASE  HELP!!!!!! I've spent so many hours, the copied that I do have are in JPEG. and  PNG and they arnt as clear.

    And what exactly? You have neitehr provided proper system info nor the exact error message nor told us anything about your documents. If you are referring to PSD files suddenly registering as damaged, you might wanna check the forum. This has been discussed quite a bit. and of course you might want to read some primer on the big Internet why people use versioning/ incremental saves and backups to avoid critical files being lost...

  • 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.

  • Kuler no longer working in InDesign CS4

    Hi
    I've been googling this a lot but haven't found a (working) solution yet. I did find a link to what could be a solution, but the link is not working anymore.
    I'm an IT guy in an office where we have a small team of four people using Adobe Creative Suite 4. Recently they contacted me asking for help because Kuler was no longer working for them (it stopped working for all four).
    I installed InDesign CS4 on my own machine only to see that it does not work for me either. The error message is "No internet connection detected. Your computer must be online in order to search or access kuler themes".
    When I go to Windows -> Extensions -> Connections I'm able to login, but not able to search for updates, I just get "The update server is unavailable".
    When running the Kuler Air app I just get "kuler klash, please try again later".
    Because we're a big company we do of course have antivirus and firewalls. To make sure that the problem isn't because of this I installed InDesign on a machine (server) on a completely different network with less strict firewall and no antivirus on the machine, but It's just the same error message as before.
    Our machines are running Windows 7 Enterprise (the extra test was done on a Windows 2012 Server).
    Is Kuler just not working for CS4 anymore?
    Looking forward to a clarification on this problem.

    The Kuler team recently rebuilt the backend of the Kuler service for security, maintenance, and peformance reasons.  (the old back-end was showing signs of failure). 
    Anyway, it seems the new backend is not working with old Kuler APIs (CS3, CS4, and the air app and mac widget).  Adobe typically provides support for up to two versions back.  At the moment, that's CS5 or newer.  So, I'm afraid it's not likely that you can expect a fix for CS4.
    At this point, your team can use the web application to browse, create, and search themes.  They can also download themes as ASE files (on the website) to import into InDesign CS4.

  • PR release procedure no longer working-error MEPO 822

    I've raised a message previously regarding PR release problem. Now i've found something that need expert helps to clarify on this.
    Situation :
    One of my client(ABC) implemented release procedure for PR which is not assign to value limit. It is by document type. They had 2 document types; NB and RNB.
      NB = NOT subject to release
      RNB = SUBJECT to release.
    So when they :
    create a PR with document type RNB - it will goes for approval.
    create a PR with document type NB - it will not go to approval.
    It was working fine until after they created a new document type which copied from NB, called ZTP.
      ZTP = NOT subject to release.
    They did not touch anything on PR release configuration. However, the release has no longer working. Means, when they create PR with document type RNB, it will NOT go for approval as it suppose to. I've check in configuration, all are fine.
    Findings:
    I've created a PR, and go to ME45N to release it but system prompt me an error message
    "Purchase requisition 10000066 cannot be released". I check on the message data,  the error coming from MEPO, message number 822.
    So i check in OSS and found a note which is similar to this case.
    Note 939371 - Overall release PR using ME54N gives error MEPO 822
    Link : https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=939371#Text
    But my question is,is it also applied to ME51N and without external application as per my client's case?
    Please anyone help.
    Thanks.

    Hi guys!
    Wants to share something. I had a problem to release my PR. When i want to release PR via ME54N, system give me error message "Purchase requisition 10000066 cannot be released". When i checked message data, it is coming from MEPO Messafe 822. So i asked SAP, they said this one is caused by different issue. Here's the reply from SAP.
    Here's the reply from SAP :
    Purchase requisition 10000066 cannot be released
    Message no. MEPO822
    Now click the other requisition button and let say
    choose Purchase requisition 10000068,
    Execute ME54N again:
    Purchase requisition 10000068 cannot be released
    Message no. MEPO822
    Comment/explanation:
    The log incidence seems not having problem with release
    strategy as it was ok but it was the last PR was called
    everytime ME54N was called. This same as it works in enjoy
    transaction ME21N/ME22N or ME51N/ME52N.
    For example, When using ME21n or ME22n to create or change PO,
    after saving the PO. There are 2 ways to exit the transaction,
    1, enter another T-code or use /n to exit directly.
    2, use 'F3' or the 'green tick' to exit ME21n (or ME22n)
    Then you can access ME23n to see the difference.
    For the 1st way, ME23n won't display the last PO created in ME21n
    For the 2nd way, ME23n will display the last PO just created!!!
    Please see attached consulting note 595627 that explains a new
    functionality as of release 470:
    Due to performance problem, a decision had to be taken about the way to
    use transactions. If you leave transaction ME21N/ME22N via the
    exit button (F3), the expected PO will be displayed next time you use
    these transactions. But if you quit abruptly (/nXXX) the PO number
    won't be saved for the next transaction ME2?N.
    As SAP note is the official document to explain system behavior,
    this document is provided by SAP developement to explain this system
    behavior to customers.
    In your case, you had used ME54N and this was same as you use ME53N.
    The last PO always display. You may try to view Purchase requisition
    with release strategy, for example Release group R1, Rel. strategy
    R1, then after this execute transaction ME54N again, the message
    MEPO822 will not be there anymore.
    Hope this will help you guys if you're having the same problem in future.
    Thanks,
    Crystal.

  • Why does 'Interpret Fields' no longer work in Premiere CS4?

    Although I have moved on personally, my office still uses CS4. For some reason the interpret fields function no longer works, so all my interlaced footage has to be made progrssive to output it!!
    If I load an interlaced clip into the source and view it at 100%, then mess around with the interlacing options...NOTHING HAPPENS!
    I am at my wits end, Adobe no longer support CS4 and re-install didn't help at all.
    Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
    Jim

    Thanks Ann but no dice.
    I'd already trashed the prefs (in fact I printed them off, ripped them up and burned them for good measure!)
    Media & databases also binned.
    I was thinking it may be a corrupt dll or plugin somewhere, but no idea which one might handle the interlacing?

  • My CS4 Licensing has stopped working, Error 150:30 and I can't reinstall as my disc is currently unaccessible.

    I can't gain access to my install discs and I have tried all the other suggestions for fixing this problem, so I'm thinking reinstallation is the only way.
    I have access to my serial number but I can't find anywhere that offers a download of CS4 as it's a bit older.
