"Licensing for this product has stopped working" with error: 150:30.

I purchased CS4 as a download in 2011. Was working fine on my new Macbook Pro with Yosemite then this appeared.

I downloaded the software again from Adobe (I don't have the disks) and the same message appeared. It did not even provide me the opportunity to input the serial #. For the record, before all this happened I was attempting to resolve some issues with Corel's Painter 2015. I had followed the suggestions of the Corel support services in which I had to enable the Root User and change the Library/preferences permissions to 'read and write' however I had reverted back to the original settings so I'm not sure if this would be the cause of my present problem.

  • LICENSING FOR THIS PRODUCT HAS STOPPED WORKING. Error: 150:30.

    Yesterday I purchased a new MBPro 15" Retina display. I retrieved all my files from TimeCapsule and I have a separate login when working with these files. On this login, photoshop, illustrator and indesign from CS4 appear on the dock. But when I go to launch, I get this window: LICENSING FOR THIS PRODUCT HAS STOPPED WORKING. Error: 150:30. I figure I need to enter in my serial code but I don't know how to proceed. My CS4 from 2009 is an upgrade from my original 2004. So my questions are:
    1. Can I enter in my serial number somehow to activate the software, or do I need to reinstall?
    2. If I need a reinstall, do I have to start with the 04 version?
    Thanks!

    As you guessed yourself, you need to reinstall properly. Installing whatever older product you are referring to is not required, only installing CS4 and then inputting the serial numbers. the bad news however is, that CS4 itself may not be compatible with OSX 10.8.2/.3, so expect all sorts of problems...

    hi,
    I have installed pse on my computer and up until now it's been running fine. Now when I go to open it it states that the 'Licensing For This Product Has Stopped Working'.

    What, you want all that AGAIN?
    Windows here I come ...

    Unfortunately when Adobe products are restored from backup, especial CS4 and especially Mac, it breaks licensing.
    There is a python script included in the license recovery kit that should work if you are familiar with Terminal.
    If not, you must reinstall your CS4 suite.  You don't need to delete your preferences, so it should be the same as before.

  • When I try to launch my copy of PSE it tells me that licensing for this product has stopped working. Error code 150:30. Restarting does nothing. Thanks!

    When I try to launch my copy of PSE it tells me that licensing for this product has stopped working. Error code 150:30. Restarting does nothing. Any ideas?
    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?

  • Indesign "Licensing for this product has stopped working." Error: 5

    I have  CS4  design premium and my Indesign is giving me an error "Licensing for this product has stopped working." Error: 5 whenever I try to launch it. All the other programs work... I've gone through the multitude of steps found here.  I have also reinstalled the whole Creative suite.  I'm running Mavericks 10.9.5 on a Macbook Pro late 2009.

    In place upgrades are nothing short of a crapshoot and given the unsupported nature of CS4 you’re pretty much on your own here.
    That said, you could try to uninstall, run the cleaner and reinstall but beyond that, all I can suggest is a clean  install of the operating system and even that won’t put you in a supported position.

  • Illustrator (from CS4) will not launch. *'Licensing for this product has stopped working.'* *Error: 6*.

    Support told me to reinstall from the installation media - but I cannot locate it.
    I am running OSX 10.9.4
    Anyone have any suggestions on how I might fix this problem? Thanks in advance.

    Pete,
    Are you sure CS4 will run on 10.9.4 (it may require CS5 or higher)?

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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,
    Critterlover1075

    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!

  • 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.
