Licensing Error - Nothing is Working!

Many others have had similar problems with the dreaded error 150:30 - I have read all the articles and discussions on this problem and tried probably 10 different solutions at this point with no results. I am working on a macbook air on mountain lion and all my adobe creative suite CS4 products stopped working after a time-machine restore.
PLEASE do not just direct me to the article for this error. I have looked through all the solutions. The license repair tool doesn't work (says that Power PC applications are not supported) and the rest of the solutions seem to rely on the mysterious flexnet files which do not exist anywhere on my computer. Yes, I know they are supposed to be in the library folder and yes, I know it's hidden and how to find it. This is not the problem. The folders/files are simply not where they are supposed to be.
I know that this software is several years old now, but I can't afford the newer version and it is really frustrating to not be able to use something that I paid hundreds of dollars for. Any solution you can offer would be hugely appreciated!
Thanks

High there! Yes, on my MBP all works fine again. You need to go to the link enclosed and follow EXACTLY the instructions. Once you install the trail version, it recons the produt key of your previous version and all is like it once was... even your personal set-up.
Good luck!

  • Serious Error - NOTHING is working

    I have been continually getting the message: Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project.
    I was using CC heavily (all day every day) until a few weeks ago and never had any problems worth mentioning. I haven't changed anything on my machine - or updated CC as far as I am aware (unless it did it in the background). I am now just trying to do a very short edit and can't even get the clips into the sequence. Re-opening the same project doesn't work, opening a new project doesn't work, uninstalling and re-installing hasn't worked. In fact it’s showing as a trial version now, which is rubbish as I have paid for it and should come as part of my suite - can’t figure out how to make it do that again now either.
    This is frustrating me no end as I can't do anything without the program crashing. I've seen a few other people post about this but none of the options on those threads has worked either. No idea why PP would stop working like this as have never had issues before. HELP!!!
    Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 Release v8.1 Caravan  8.2.0 (65) Build

    This happens when:

  • Acrobat 9.5 - I'm getting a 148:3 error.  Everything worked fine yesterday, nothing has changed Win7

    Today I tried to use Acrobat 9.5 and I am receiving this message:  "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 of contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help".
    Nothing has changed since I used this product yesterday.  I've never had a problem with this product until now. 
    How can I download a new copy using the same license and without paying for a new copy.  Why did this happen?

    Hey thomcolby,
    You might need to refer the KB file and try troubleshooting this licensing error on your system:

  • 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.

    Hi chiekoo,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at this article:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694#error21
    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • App Error 523- Nothing is working

    Hello,
    I have a Blackberry curve 8310. Nothing is working anymore on my phone. There is this error message : app error 523. When I try to reset, it take 3 minutes of "waiting" with nothing on the screen, until the same message reappear. I also try taking off the battery for 3 minutes and put it in again, still nothing with the same message. I was wondering what can I do, and if nothing work, where can I send to phone for reparation, and how much it will cost for this kind of problem.
    Thank you,

    Greetings, and welcome to the BlackBerry.com Support Forums.
    You have some offending third party application or theme on the device causing the error.
    Option One: IF you know which third party application is causing the error, you can use the command line functions of JL_Cmder to remove the cod file from the device. That is a complicated method but the most simple if you know what to remove.
    Optionos Two: Wipe the device totally with JL_Cmder and reload the Operating System fresh. You will lose ALL data on the device, so I hope you have a recent backup of the device. 
    Read this link for details:
    http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/How_do_I_wi​pe_the_BlackBerry_using_Jl_Cmder%3F
    Do you have a recent backup? Search your entire PC hard drive c: for any file "*.ipd" (disclude the quote marks).

    Did you reinstall CS3 after CC?
    For that matter, doing an in-place upgrade on the OS is always a gamble with Adobe programs. Reinstalling all the versions you need, in order, would probably solve your problem.
    And you shouldn't need to save as IDML after opening the .inx in CC.

    I have a 4th generation ipod classic (click wheel) and it's giving me a sad ipod error as well as not mounting in itunes... I hear a clicking inside when it is connected to power but nothing is working. Help!

    You won't believe this but a friend of mine (who happens to be an Apple Genius) told me to put a towel or cloth on a sturdy countertop (I know this may sound weird) but hold the selct button (in the center) and menu part of the wheel at the same time until an Apple logo comes up on the screen and then quickly turn the ipod on it's side and wack it on the counter where the towel is so as not to damage anything cosmetically. It seems the clicking is the hard drive reader is stuck and this dislodges it. Mine works now (no clicking) and all seems to be well again. Who knew?

  • Removed working Firefox 7, Installed Firefox 10.0, Firefox will not load. When I click on icon, firefox.exe process shows briefly in task manager, then goes away....no errors, nothing

    Removed working Firefox 7, Installed Firefox 10.0, Firefox will not load. When I click on icon, firefox.exe process shows briefly in task manager, then goes away....no errors, nothing. Never see browser panel at all. Also tried to install Firefox 9.0, but the same result was observed.

    Rather difficult to say what the problem may be at present but for general info please have a look at
    * [[safe mode]]
    *[[firefox will not start]]
    *[[firefox hangs]]
    Note sometimes you may have to wait a while for firefox to shutdown completly, and if it has hung then as explained in the above articles you may need to kill any firefox.exe process that is still running (and maybe plugincontainer.exe)
    Try starting firefox in [[safe mode]] e.g. by holding down shift key
    * do not make any changes in the first window, just click on continue<br/> ? Do you get as far as seeing the options window for safe mode ?
    If firefox is crashing see [[firefox crashes]], this is easier to work through if you can get firefox to start without crashing on startup. Currently some firefox users are finding Firefox 10 crashes on startup, and a new version Firefox 10.0.1 is being released very soon to deal with this and another cause of hangs.
    Not saying any of this applies to your case but recent issues include
    * ask tool bar causing hangs if video is used none English versions [/forums/contributors/708073]
    * possibly some crashes do not start the crash reporter and other issues [/forums/contributors/708122?page=2#post-45059]
    * some general info about current crashes [/questions/917748#answer-308124]

  • When I start my computer, I get popup error msg that "Apple Sync Notifier" has stopped working.  I have tried several remedies suggested by those on the Apple (and Roxio) tech support. Nothing has worked. Trying to burn disc or puchased ITUNES.

    I have been trying to burn newly purchased (as well as last year purchases) ITunes to a disc.   I had burned some of these songs to a disc last year and all went well.   Now I have been getting this popup telling me that the AppleSync Notifier has stoped working & the corefoundation.dll needs to be re-installed.  Also that Windows will try to fix the problem.   Every time I try to burn the disc, the computer sends the disc back out and the screen tells me to put in a blank recordable disc.   I have tried 4 different new discs now and the same thing happens.
    I am running Windows Vista.
    Have been to the Roxio web site for help as well as Apple.
    Have tried many "fixes" such as:  updating latest version of Direct X from the Microsoft website;   Disabling startup items;   going to local disc C and into the Apple/Apple Appplication support and right-clicking on the SQLite3.dll and moving it tomobile support device window.   Nothing has worked.  What can I do to get some music recorder?   Should I buy a new cassette deck and record onto tape like I did 20 years ago?   This is a very important disc I am making as a gift & I need to get it done by this weekend.    Is there anyone that can offer good advice?

    love paying a lot of money for something that doesn't work right, thanks apple

  • WL 5.1.0 startWebLogic.cmd License Error (works via wlserver.exe)

    Thanks for your help Raj. I found out it was a PeopleSoft problem. They
    make us run one of their Java class files to startup the server from the
    command line instead of weblogic.Server. Once I changed it from
    weblogic.Server to PSweblogic, it started correctly.

    Cameron,
    Are you running setEnv.cmd before running startweblogic.cmd ?
    The SetEnv.cmd script sets the WL_HOME variable. Make sure you have this
    variable set.
    Alternatively, try adding the absolute path for the license folder (inyour
    case C:\weblogic\license ) in the weblogic.class.path entry in the
    startweblogic.cmd file.
    The server will look for the WebLogicLicense.xml in this folder at startup
    time.
    The reason why the server starts from the start menu is the fact that this
    entry is part of the weblogic.class.path
    From your posting
    weblogic.class.path=C:\weblogic\license;C:\weblogic\classes;C:\weblogic
    \myserver\serverclasses;C:\weblogic\lib\weblogicaux.jar

  • Photoshop CS4 - Licensing Error 150:30

    I have a MacBook with the OS X Maverick Operating System and have had no prior issues using my Photoshop CS4. My computer recently crashed and had to have my operating system re-installed. I tried to open up Photoshop today and this window popped up: "Licensing for this product has stopped working". I tried restarting the computer like the window mentioned and that did nothing. I also tried the solutions listed on the Adobe website for the Error: 150:30 and nothing has worked. My main problem is I cannot finish the "solutions" because I cannot locate the folder "FlexNet" or "FlexNet Licensing" or anything of that nature that is referred to in the solutions.

    The Licensing repair tool does work. OSX 10.7 and above:
    Download and open LicenseRecovery111.dmg on your Desktop
    Open Terminal and type sudo and leave a space. <do not press "Enter" yet>.
    Open the License Folder on the opened LicenseRecovery111.dmg and drag
    "LicenseRecover.py" file into the Terminal Window.
    The sudo command and path to the .py file should look like the screenshot below.
    Press Enter to begin
    Type in your password, but know that you will not see dots or asterisks as you type.
    Press Enter again, let the script run and finish. You should be able to run Photoshop now.
    (If this answer solves it, mark it as "correct" or get back to me if it doesn't.)

  • Photoshop CS4 Licensing error

    I'm using my Photoshop CS4 for a long time now but on Tuesday it suddenly crashed saying some Licensing error occured and I have to restart my computer to solve the problem. The restart didn't help. I've read, that there is a License Repair Tool, so firstly I've downloaded that one, trying to repair the product. Nothing has changed. The next step was to reinstall the whole product. I also had some difficulties to remove it, because the uninstaller didn't want to start. After removing it with the Creative Suite cleaning tool and removing the nessecary files the reinstalled progmam showed the same message. Also tried to remove the latest Windows updates installed that day without success. Is there any solution for my problem? I have a CS5 upgrade also installed and it's working, but I prefer the CS4 for some reasons.

    I've cleand out, but it just showed me another error message (I think the error 6: configuration error) with both the CS4 and the CS5. So I removed all of them, deleted all Adobe files related to CS4 or CS5 and installed them again. The message is the same (Error 150:30), when I start the CS4, but the CS5 works fine. (I've tried it on another computer and it's working there) How can I make sure the service is running correctly or where can I start it manually?
