"License stopped working" Error Code 150:30 -- PS CS4 on OS X Yosemite

Have both PS CS4 and CD6 on Mac OS X 7.5. Just upgraded to Yosemite. Now PS4 "license stopped working". Only have PS4 upgrade disks because I originally bought PS ages ago and only bought upgrades since. Need to work at least long enough for me to get my custom brushes/patterns, but I would like it to work regularly to use Mustek TWAIN (32 bit)@scanner.

Simply reinstall. Using the downloaded versions might get you by any disk issues.

Why will photoshop not open after loading it to new iMac computer from an external hard drive and I get this message: Licensing for this product has stopped working:error code: 150:30

Why will Photoshop CS4 not open after loading to new iMac from an external hard drive and I get this message: Licensing for this product has stopped working:error code: 150:30

A Photoshop installation is tied to the machine it was installed on. Moving it to or from a hard drive breaks the licensing.
The answer is easy: Reinstall CS4 from your disc. and apply all updates.

Great!
Now in Terminal at the $ prompt type sudo python <leave a space after that> Do not press enter or return yet.
Drag and drop "license recover.py" into the Terminal window, then press enter or return.
You should see this result: Confirm that you do.

I have a error code 150:30 on a Mac running Yosemite 10.10 any help?

Thanks!

In that case I will need the serial number to re launch Illustrator correct? I have no clue where that number is and it was purchased by a former employer of mine. Thanks for your help.

Licensing stopped working error- 150:30

Had to replace the hard drive on my iMac. I use Time Capsule and when the new hard drive was installed had Time Capsule bring all my applications and files back. It seems to be working with all other files and apps.
But when I tried to use Photoshop CS 4 I received error message suggesting I restart the MAC which I did. Then got the same error message when I tried to open Photoshop. It said if restarting doesn't work go to Adobe.
As stated above the error message number is 150:30

had Time Capsule bring all my applications and files back
Forget it. Reinstall the apps properly. Downloads can be found using this method:
Direct Download Links for Adobe Software
And you will have to run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool before reinstalling.

Licensing has stopped working error durinng launch of Photoshop CS3

I cannot get rid of this error message during launch of PS CS3. I tried uninstalling running the CS3MacClean Script, reinstalling, ... same problem. The same installer and serial number works fine on a clean system so I know there must be a file or two that the cleanup script doesn't remove.
Anybody know what files to delete?

After installation, a system upgrade, machine migration, backup restore, or some other system event(s), trying to launch Adobe applications on Mac OS X results in the error "Licensing for this product has stopped working." You may see error numbers after this message, such as "150:30".

Solution 2: Delete the FLEXnet Publisher preferences folder
Important: The path listed below refers to the Library folder that lives just inside your startup disk, not the Library folder inside your user home folder!
Quit all Adobe applications.
On your startup disk, locate and rename, or copy to the desktop and then delete, the following folder:
/Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/
Start your Adobe application(s).
Solution 3: Repair Disk Permissions
Launch the Apple Disk Utility:
/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app
Select your startup disk.
Click Repair Disk Permissions.
Note: This can take considerable time. For more information about using Disk Utility, consult Apple's website.
Start your Adobe application(s).
Solution 4: Reset your permissions on the FLEXnet Publisher licensing service folder.
Important: The path listed below refers to the Library folder that lives just inside your startup disk, not the Library folder inside your user home folder!
Use the permissions instructions below to modify the permissions on the following folder on your startup disk:
/Library/Application Support/FLEXnet Publisher/
Solution 5: Reset your permissions on the Adobe PCD folder.
Important: The path listed below refers to the Library folder that lives just inside your startup disk, not the Library folder inside your user home folder!
Use the permissions instructions below to modify the permissions on the following folder on your startup disk:
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD/
Permissions Instructions:
Close out of all Adobe applications. Follow the directions below to modify permissions to the folder.
Note: This solution requires administrative privileges on your computer. You will need to provide administrative credentials.
On Mac OS X 10.4
Using Finder, navigate to the folder to be modified.
Control+Click the folder, and then select Get Info.
Expand the Ownership & Permissions section.
Click the Details option to show the various owner and group options.
Verify that you have Read & Write permissions.
Click the lock icon next to the Owner field, choose yourself as the Owner, type in your administrator username and password when prompted, and click OK.
Change the Owner to system.

Solution 6: Remove the SQLite journaling file.
Important: The path listed below refers to the Library folder that lives just inside your startup disk, not the Library folder inside your user home folder!
The journaling file exists only under specific circumstances where a client is accessing the database file with certain options enabled. If the file does not exist, continue to the next solution.
Using Finder, navigate to:
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD/cache
If present, delete cache.db-journal.
Launch Adobe Acrobat 9 or an Adobe Creative Suite 4 product.
Solution 7: (Acrobat 9 only) Reinstall on a non-case-sensitive file system.
Adobe applications are not supported on an OS formatted with a case-sensitive file system. If you attempt to install an Adobe application on a case sensitive volume such as a UFS, HFS+ case sensitive (HFSX) or SMB formatted drive, you get an error that the file system of the setup drive is not supported. Only Acrobat 9 doesn't display such error message and allows you to install the application, but attempting to launch Acrobat 9 results in the error "Licensing for this product has stopped working (error code 130:9)." The drive needs to be reformatted to a non-case-sensitive file system.
To check if MAC OS X is formatted with a case-sensitive file system :
From the Apple menu select About this Mac.
Click More Info and under Hardware select Serial-ATA.
Select the drive Acrobat 9 has been installed on and check the file system in the list. Note if the file system is case sensitive.
Alternatively, use the Disk Utility to check the file system:
From Applications > Utilities, launch the Disk Utility
Select the disk Acrobat is installed on and check its format.
Solution 8: Contact Adobe Technical Support
Adobe Technical Support can obtain logs from your machine to determine additional information about the failure. Contact Adobe Technical Support if the information provided has not helped to resolve your issue.
Additional Information
The Flexnet folders/files required to run Adobe applications can get corrupted, or have permission settings problems, if moved from one machine to another, or through a system restore from Time Machine. Flexnet service licensing failures can't be resolved by re-installating the appliaction, nor will the Adobe CS3 or CS4 Clean Scripts solve this problem. If permissions issues prevented the FLEXnet licensing service from launching, accessing its data, or communicating with Adobe processes, the licensing failure is expected.

CS3 "Licensing stopped working"

I'm getting the "Licensing stopped working" error whenever I try to open any of my CS3 applications. I looked at the troubleshooting steps here: Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Windows. I downloaded, extracted, and used the fix, but it didn't work. I tried looking for the FLEXnet service to manually activate it, only to find my computer devoid of said service. I'm assuming this is the problem, but I'm unsure as to how to fix it. I'm going to try redownloading the fix, to see if that will help. I await a response, thanks.

I would suggest Section 8.
Go with the complete uninstall/reinstall.
It's a pain,but nuke and pave works best. Follow the steps and have your serial number and discs at the ready.

How do I fix error code 150:30. "photoshop license stopped working"????

All of the sudden when I was trying to open AI I got a screen with "Illustrator Licensing for this product has stopped working", and error code: 150:30 how do I fix this?
I am on MAC OS X 10.9.4 and Illustrator and Photoshop CS4.
Thank you for your help!

This is the one step I did not take as I am a bit unsure of where to find the start up disk
On your startup disk, locate and delete the following folder:
[hard drive]/Library/Application Support/FlexNet Publisher/
Important: The path above points to the Library folder at the root of your startup disk, not the Library folder in your user home folder.

Thanks!

You haven't said what version of PSE you are using but the general solution to this problem is to re-install the product from your original disks. Have you got the disks for your product and the related serial number?

I re-installed my Mac OS, but now Elements won't open. Licensing stopped working. Error code 150:30

I re-installed my Mac OS, but now Elements won't open. Licensing stopped working. Error code 150:30.
This is Photoshop Elements 8, and I have the original disc with serial number so I can re-install that.
The probelm is I'd need to de-cactivate the serial number before un-installing, and I need to open the programme to do that.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Okay, I've found that this is a recognised problem.

Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Mac OS
and all the solutions tell me to find the folder FlexNet Publisher in my library.
Problem is FlexNet Publisher doesn't seem to exist there. Can't find it anywhere on my hard drive.
Gettting down to the end of that page gives me the following info....
The FlexNet folders and files required to run Adobe applications can become corrupted or have permission problems if moved from one machine to another. They can also be damaged through a Time Machine system restore. FlexNet service licensing failures cannot be resolved by reinstalling the application or by using the Adobe CS5 Cleaner Tool. If permissions issues prevent the FlexNet licensing service from launching, accessing data, or communicating with Adobe processes, a licensing failure occurs.
Well it looks like backing everything up using Time Machine may have caused all this problem. Anyone know how to get Flexnet Publisher back?

License stopped working. Error 150:30.

Re-install of Mountain Lion from Time Machine (BIG mistake) left me with PhotoShop and InDesign CS4 unusable. "License stopped working and Error 150:30" were the messages.
Went online, tried what worked for some people, i.e. deleting Flexnet from ~Library/Application Support and then putting Flexnet file in ~Library/Preferences. Still could not open PS & ID. Interesting that Bridge never had a problem and works fine.
I am out of USA and don't have my install disks but I do have serial number for CS4. Chat was ridiculous. Adobe is certainly wasting money on that outsourced non-help function which took 30 minutes of my time for nothing.
Is there any help for me besides waiting til I get back to USA to get my install disks?
I feel very angry at Adobe for having so little help for me. I've been using PhotoShop since the 80's on PCs and Macs. I wish there were some other program out there so I wouldn't have to deal with Adobe-Snobby who "got above their raisin's."
Oh, and by the way, just in case anyone from Adobe pays any attention to this, when you click "Close" from the Chat window like the intructions tell you, there is NO WAY to complain about "how Adobe is doing."

I fixed the problem myself by using some comments from the Creative Suites CS3 forum: however, with CS4, there is no Trusted Storage File, as it is named below. It is called Storage. And you have to delete the 2 .data files Preferences creates when you reboot.
Also the FLEXnet Publisher file should be in ~Library/Preferences NOT in ~Library/Application Support where I found mine.
Basically PS4 and ID4 would not work until after removing the Service file from FLEXnet Publisher then re-booting and repairing Disk Permissions. After deleting the 2 data files, I replaced the Service file in the FLEXnet folder and both PS4 and ID4 opened easily. Whew. It's been a long couple of days trying to figure this one out! The instructions below helped me figure it out.
Go to: Main HD > Library > Preferences > FLEXnet Publisher > FLEXnet folder (Mac OS) remove the Trusted Storage File (TSF) from the FLEXnet folder and drop it on your desktop.
Restart your Mac > run disk permissions repair (Applications > Utilities > Disk Repair) then launch InDesign - enter serial number - InDesign should now work (fingers crossed)
If all goes well trash the TSF - you won't need it anymore as a new one should have been created.
