License for this product has stopped working cs3

I have cs3 web premium and premier elements and I was considering purchasing CS5 but until I can get a clear message AND PERMANENT SOLUTION to why I am now getting for the 5th time the error "license for this product has stopped working." I was working on a important project and now I have to reinstall everything again. This is such an issue that I have read the many many "solutions" Adobe provides for this but I tried them and they did not work. Adobe, what are you doing about this?

What version of Premiere Elements are you using?
I have Premiere Elements 4, 7, and 8 and have recently run into problems characterized by not being able to open any of the 3 versions that I have installed on the same computer. (I use one at a time.)
Hunt as posted a link
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405970.html
where I would suggest that you especially look at Solution #2 regarding the FLEXnet Licensing Service.
This turned out to be the fix for my Premiere Elements, as well as the Photoshop Elements, for my opening failures for these programs.
Another possible consideration is to open a new computer User Account (with Administrative Priviledges) and run your Premiere Elements using that new User Account. That worked for me recently when the Photoshop Elements 8 Organizer would not open after just about every trick in the book.
Keep in mind that problems may have the same symptoms but different causes. Nonetheless, I would recommend this Solution #2 to your attention, and then, if necessary, a new User Account (with Administrative Priviledges). Premiere Elements is but one application in your computer environment, and many non Premiere Elements factors can enter into the performance of the Premiere Elements in that computer environment.
Please keep us updated on your progress.

Can't run FW CS3! "Licensing for this product has stopped working."

I purchased and downloaded FW CS3 this morning. I received my
serial number and once the file had completed downloading I ran the
installer. Everything seems to be working fine, and the install
finished without a hitch. I then tried to open the application as
was greeted with the following error message:
Licensing for this product has stopped working.
You cannout use this product at this time. You must repair
the problem by unistalling and then reinstalling this product of
contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for
help."
I've unistalled (using the adobe utility) and reinstalled
twice without any luck.
I'm on OS X 10.4.9 w/an Intel Core Duo and 1GB of ram. I had
previously installed the Fireworks CS 3 Beta, but uninstalled it a
month or so ago.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Shaun,
This is a user to user forum. You'll need to contact Adobe
Customer
Service to have this resolved.

I already Uninstalled and reinstalled the product and it still does not work.

Hi,
Try to uninstall the software again and you have to manually
Delete the following folders:
[Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD
[Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/caps
[Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/backup
[Startup Disk]/Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/
[Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/FLEXnet Publisher/
Go to Applications-->Utilities-->Disk Utility, Open it and Select the MAC HD and then click on Repair permissions.
After that try to run the cleaner tool as mentioned by kglad.
Restart machine and then try to install again.
*** Make sure , you only delete these folders if there is no other adobe applications installed on the machine. As if you have any other Adobe application of the suite ( not free applications ) then it will be a problem.

Error message opening PS CS3 Extended : "Licensing for this product has stopped working"

I used Migration Assistant to transfer data from my (very) old Mac OS X to a new iMac OS X Yosemite. Before doing so, I uninstalled my (also very old) PS CS3 Extended. When I tried to open PS on the new Mac it asked me to download Java, which I did. But now when trying to open PS again the error message is "Licensing for this product has stopped working". I purchased it about 5 years ago in a box which I no longer have, but I do have the complete 24 digit serial number. How best do I remedy this?

Changed battery in laptop and now when trying to open dreamweaver cs3, I get "licensing for this product has stopped working"... contact customer support (thats a laugh). So what now?

it says: You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT admin or Adobe customer support for help.
Well it seems I am only able to install this on a maximum of 3 computers so if I uninstall and reinstall I may have used up all three. What caused this in the first place?

And most licenses extend to 2 machines; not 3. Your computer's clock probably reset when you changed batteries. Is your computer's clock set to the correct date and time now?

Need help with Photoshop and "Licensing for this product has stopped working" message. Adobe fix isn't working.

I am still using CS3. A while back I received an error: "Licensing for this product has stopped working" for my CS3 programs. I used the recovery program suggested by Adobe and was able to get Illustrator, Flash and Dreamweaver to work, but I still can't open Photoshop or In Design. I went back to the Adobe site and did every other trick they suggested to fix the error, but nothing has worked.
I then tried to uninstall photoshop from my CS3 suite (so I could reinstall) but got a JavaScript Alert: "Critical errors were found in set up. Please see set up log for file details." Seeing as I am not the best with the behind the scenes technical stuff, I have no idea what this means or where the set up log even is. Any help anyone can provide?
I have had CS3 installed on my computer for over a year. I started having problems about 4 months ago.

I am having similar problem. Can't open any of CS3 programs after trying to download Dreamweaver Trial, which wouldn't work because "couldn't remove DLM extention" error message. So now I can not run Illustrator, Photoshop, or even Adobe Reader. These are properly licensed for about a year. I get "License for product has stopped working". Have 2 pending cases open with Adobe support (one for Dreamweaver trial, one for license problem) since 8/3 with NO ANSWERS - It says answers within 1-3 business days. Was on phone support hold today for over 3 hours before line went dead with no help. What is up with adobe support? Can anyone help?

TCS 2 on Windows 7 - "Licensing for this product has stopped working"

I just spent the last 6 days (since 4/8) with Adobe Technical Support. I have a Dell Latitude 630 Laptop running Windows 7 32-bit. For no reason at all (as is usually the case), RH8 crashed after I ran spell check. Unfortunately, unlike all the other times, it would not restart. The error message box I kept getting (and 4 says later am still getting) is "Licensing for this product has stopped working". The only thing I've learned from this 4-day ordeal is that no one at Adobe Technical Support knows how to do anything but uninstall and reinstall this product. And, for some reason, Adobe has released this software fully aware that it will not completely uninstall using Windows 7's uninstaller - You must also then run both the Windows Uninstaller Cleaner (after downloading & installing it) and their own CS3 Uninstaller Cleaner.
After doing that twice (completely uininstalling and reinstalling), and waiting for 1) the first tech to open a case - it took him 4 days; and 2) the "top level" of support to contact me - that took 2 more days. After telling me how to completely uninstall the suite (yep, that's her fix, too), she has just advised me that the SW won't run because my computer is on a Domain. Yes, my company requires that all of our computers be connected to our Domain. What company doesn't?What is also interesting is that none of my co-workers, who are also running Windows 7, have had this problem. How many of you are successfully using TCS2 on Windows 7 32-bit AND are on a Domain? I'll bet that there are a lot of you out there. Congratulations to you all for still being able to do so! I envy you.
THE FIX: (And this is from Adobe's top level of support, or so I was told.) I've been told that I must create a Local User Account on my laptop that has Admin privileges but is NOT on a Domain, and install the TCS2 software onto that account. This will fix my problem. Interestingly, the first tech had me log onto his Adobe software that allowed him to see my desktop. Didn't he see that I was on a Domain? Or maybe he just isn't privy to this information because he's not high up enough.
I hope that this information keeps at least 1 other person from having to go thru 6 (or less or more) days of repeating your problem to countless Adobe techs who all tell you to do the exact, same thing. And, of course, hearing each one apologize for "the inconvenience" and being "so sorry you are experiencing difficulties".
Here a thought - Don't release your software until it works.
Here's another thought - Don't claim that your software works on a platform until it actually does. As my co-worker Ed says, "Got an Issue? Get a tissue!"
Cheers,

Peter,
The higher-tiered (supposedly) Tech had me go to that Web page and follow those instructions earlier this week. I followed all of them, and still had the same problem. That was when she told me that the problem is because my laptop is connected to a Domain (see first post).
4/15/10 Update: My IT support gave me the password to log onto my laptop using the Administrator logon. This login is not connected to our Domain because it is used by our IT folks to troubleshoot problems with the laptop itself. I installed only Acrobat, RoboHelp, and FrameMaker from this login last night. Then I opened Acrobat 9 and "updated" everything. RoboHelop 8 now works (and it is accessible from my regular login), but FrameMaker is now giving an error message, something about the dictionaries, and it does not open. Here is the error dialog being thrown now by FrameMaker 9:
I have updated my case with this info and the screenshot of the error dialog. If you know what is causing this error in FM, please let me know what to do to fix it.
Thank you for your help!

Get "Licensing for this product has stopped working" error on my New Mac with old Adobe software

hi people, i've recently purchased a new machine and can't work out how to get Illustrator cs3 or photoshop cs5 working on it...
photoshop says "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 or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help", which is strange as it said some different before i tried asking adobe support about this...
illustrator says the same thing.
customer support said i need to ask here because they can't provide support for these products.

thanks for response, let's start the dialogue.
what OS version?: OS version 10.9.3
Have you deactivated Photoshop on the old machine? No, i am not inclined to try this as i do need a working version for work, customer support tells me that i've purchased a serial key but they won't tell me what it is, just that i could try using it... can't find any reference to this on my machine though:(
On how many computers have you (or someone else) installed Photoshop and register with your license?1 i think..
Have you tried uninstalling, cleaning and re-installing? no, though i've tried to find out how and can't even manage that:( went to the adobe site and could only find their creative cloud thing which requires me to pay monthly:/...
thanks

Need help FLASH not launching and not uninstalling "licensing for this product has stopped working".

Need help FLASH not launching and not uninstalling "licensing for this product has stopped working" and " you can only install one adobe product at a time please complete the other installation" Flash was working absolutely fine before, I have no idea why this happened.

Licensing for this product has stopped working - Acrobat 9 Pro / OS 10.7

I am having a problem with Acrobat 9 Pro (9.4.5) following my upgrade to Mac OS 10.7 (MacBook Pro). The error that I've been receiving is "Licensing for this product has stopped working" with a numeric code at the bottom of the page of (0).
As suggested on that screen, I uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat 9 Pro and spent quite a bit of time loading all of the updates. At the end of it, I still receive the same message and the program will not continue after that message.
This is part of CS4 Master. All other products in the suite are working correctly and without issue. No challenges with other Adobe products for licensing. Acrobat is the only program I have that gives this message and then closes.
I found this page -> http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/512/cpsid_51260.html and started working through the process on that page. When I got to the step of the License Recovery Tool (11.6.1), the launcher program will not launch with the error "You can't open the application LicenseRecoveryLauncher because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." I guess that this program relies on Rosetta and will no longer function.
Can you help? I've already uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat 9 Pro several times. Some of the steps noted on http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/512/cpsid_51260.html disable the licensing for the other apps in CS4. I really don't want to uninstall and reinstall the entire suite.
I have been on Adobe Customer Service Chat for a few hours. Recommendations have been to just upgrade to Acrobat X or to call it in. Before that, I wanted to check the forum to see if anyone else has hit this issue and if there is another possible fix.
Thanks!

Steve,
I appreciate your answer. While it might work, I'm a bit hesitant to remove the other programs as a possible solution since they are all currently working.
With Acrobat 9 Pro failing with the OS 10.7 upgrade, I'm hoping that there is a less severe solution.
Since the trigger appears to be 10.7 and may have something to do with the discontinued support of Rosetta, I could be spending a few hours working on a reinstall without a change. Yes, it might work. The "might" is the part that makes me hesitate.
Is anyone else out there on OS 10.7 and running Acrobat 9 Pro? Any issues with anyone else?
Thanks Steve. I do appreciate your offering a solution. I may end up trying it if nothing else comes together.

How do I reinstall Adobe Photoshop CS4 - I receive error 6 stating that licensing for this product has stopped working.

I previously installed Adobe Photoshop CS4 on my Macbook Pro. My hard drive crashed, and I had to get a new hard drive replaced. Now upon trying to reinstall CS4 from a backup copy CD (with licensing, serial number available), I receive an error 6 stating that the "licensing for this product has stopped working". Has anyone experienced this or know how to troubleshoot? Any advice appreciated. Thank you.
