LIcensing has stopped working DreamWeaver CS4 Mac OS 10.9.4

Have followed instructions here
Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Mac OS
as much as possible.
Solution 1: I don't have [hard drive]/Library/Preferences/FlexNet Publisher/ on my hard drive so can't delete it.
Solution 2: Have tried to run license repair tool in terminal. I type sudo python then drag LicenseRecoveryLauncher.app across, but get invalid syntax returned.
I haven't gone any further than this.
I did have adobe photoshop cc trial on this machine, which I deleted and wonder whether this has now screwed up Dreamweaver (I don't use it so much these days).
Any help gratefully received, Tim

Hi magootim,
Can you try the solutions in this post?
Dreamweaver CS4 keeps showing a licensing error 150:30. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Preran

  • "License for this product has stopped working." CS4

    The hard drive on my MacBook Pro recently crashed, and when I restored all of my previous info from Time Machine, my CS4 applications wouldn't open and I got the error message above.
    I tried to follow the advice from Adobe Support here: Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Windows
    Unfortunately, the first step didn't work for me because the License Recovery App for Macs is too old to be run by my system (Mac OSX 10.9.3). The other options all seem to be geared towards a PC.
    Reinstalling from the discs is not an option, because I received the software (legally) as part of work I was doing on behalf of a school system, and no longer have access to the discs. I do have the serial number still, but seemingly no place where I can input it.
    Can anyone help me here?

    Mylenium,
    Before downloading CS4 again, how do I uninstall the versions that are currently on my Mac?
    Many thanks for your help!

  • "Licensing has stopped working..." CS4 Master Collection

    I have recently purchased two copies of Adobe CS4 Master Collection.  The first copy was purchased on June 24th, with the first call to Customer support on June 25th.
    The errors are various with 3 during installation on this vista machine and several when starting the applications.  The only application that runs properly is Acrobat.
    The others fail at activation screens with either BEX error in amtlib.dll or "Licensing has stopped working...”  I have 3 case numbers assigned to this by tech support.  I have talked to more than a dozen Tier One personnel and two Tier Two personnel.  The CS4 package, at the request of various support people, has been uninstalled/re-installed 5 times.  The various attempted “solutions” are well documented so I won’t post the detail here.  There has been zero progress.  Each support person insists on covering the same ground as the prior calls wasting time and money (mine).  I have been waiting for 7 days for a return call from a Tier 2 support person. 
    During call two to tech support I was requested to remove all old Adobe software.  So, at the time of this note, I have been 15 days without the new software working and none of my old software working.  One would think that for the price charged for this Master Collection that, (A) The installation/activation process would work and (B) the customer support would be better.
    I would certainly appreciate some response from Adobe with a solution to this problem.   One of my case numbers is 181030791.  Look in the case file, get my number, call me.

    I have now logged over 9 hours on the phone with ‘support’ (as well as uninstalling and reinstalling my software) and this last genius’s solution………….. ’Set the system clock back to 2008 and run your machine for a day or two like this and I believe that will fix it!’            
    Can you believe this Mickey Mouse nonsense?
    Also, I tell the guy that he as cost me $750 today in lost time, his reply…..’Sir, think how I feel, it takes me a month and a half to make that much’
    It would be funny if it wasn’t so infuriating!

  • My Photoshop CS4 has stopped working - Error 148:3 (Licensing has stopped working).....help!

    My Photoshop CS4 has stopped working - Error 148:3 (Licensing has stopped working).....help please?
    I've not changed anything since the last time I used it but it's just refusing to work.

    Ed,
    It seems that there might be some gremlin in the licensing module. The PS CS4 board has several similar instances. I do not know exactly what the problem is, but this should be an easy reset by Adobe. It has worked for the PS users and requires one free telephone call. I am with Harm on this. I doubt that many, if any, users can be of much help. The installation issues *used* to be simple and quick, but I have not had to make that call, since Illustrator 3. Have your S/N handy. If you purchased from the Adobe Store, a receipt # might come in handy too. Once your product has been verified, you'll probably be asked to enter a key, and away you go.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • PSE 13 solves "Error: Licensing has stopped working" on MAC OS X 10.10.2?

    After some years using my reliable PS8 I've got this nasty message and I am unable to work since then.
    I've been working on solving the "Error: Licensing has stopped working" on MAC OS X 10.10.2 for a while without success.
    Does PSE 13 solves the problem? I just want to be sure that if I buy the new version it is going to work or if I am going to lose another US$ 99 on a piece of software that requires more "MAC OS X" expertise than I have.
    Any help, clue or piece of advice is welcome.

    Thank you, but it is exactly the paper I've been trying to follow.... I can't go through solution 2 because I got an error when using “sudo python “.
    After trying for some days I am thinking about buying the newest version (PSE 13), I just want to be sure I am not going to have the same error.... ;-)

    You'll need to have a chat with Adobe Support. Here's a link:

  • Licensing has stopped working - Mac

    I have had Photoshop Elements for a year and a half, but last week I had to get the harddrive replaced on my MacBook. I just got my computer back 2 days ago and have tried accessing PE for the first time tonight but I have received the "Licensing has stopped working" message with the "Error 150:30" blurb. I've looked at a few other discusions and have tried to find and delete the "FlexNet" folder in the harddrive's library but cannot find it for the life of me. I don't know what to do. Help!

    That would be PSE 8. You can try downloading and installing from here:
    http://prodesigntools.com/direct-download-links-for-lightroom-3-and-photoshop-elements-8.h tml
    However, two things. First, you must follow the Very Important Instructions exactly, or it won't work. And it may not work anyway, since you have a disc version. I'm not sure that a disc serial number will work with the trial, but you won't be any worse off than you are now if it doesn't.

  • Error 150:30 "Licensing has stopped working" ??

  • License has stopped working (CS3):  tried every fix but no dice

    Hello all, my PS CS3 will not work and I've tried and tried to get it to work but it won't.   You can read everything I've done on this forum:
    http://forums.dealmac.com/read.php?4,2854842,2854842
    I've called Adobe 6 or 7 times now and run both scripts they've made, uninstalled and re-installed 3 times, fixed permissions, deleted the FLEXnet folder (wasn't where it was supposed to be), etc.    Adobe sent me a followup email about my case last week asking how it was going (with no reply address!) and I posted all of this on their support page for my case but have yet to hear from them.   Really, I'm surprised at how bad Adobe's customer service is.  A company as successful as Adobe ought to do better!     What is especially frustrating about this is that the program worked fine before, it's just some code they created that's causing the trouble, so why can't they fix the code?   Or give me a refund?  Or the upgrade to CS4?
    Any help would be appreciated!

    I get the "License has stopped working" mesages too.
    We have a MacbookPro at home. There are two user-acounts on this mac, one for my wife and one for myself. This way we keep our personal stuff (e-mail, files, settings, dropbox, desktop clutter etc) separated. "Fast user switching" is enabled to easily switch to your personal account.
    Now when I open Photoshop I might get the dreaded "License has stopped working" message. This will happen if Photoshop is left open in her account. So I'll have to log into her account, close Photoshop, go back into my own acount and open Photoshop again.
    I should not get this message since Photoshop is not part of a particular user account, it is installed in the "Applications" folder which is accesible to all users.
    What makes it even more annoying is that I get the "License has stopped working" message on trying to open Photoshop even when Photoshop is closed in in the other acount, but Illustrator is opened.
    This makes no sense since we bought Photoshop and Illustrator CS3 as separate programs, not as a part of the Creative Suite.
    I did not report this to Adobe yet but it wil do that now.

  • Phsp CS3 - License has stopped working - How to access new install version for download?

    Please help! I just finished a session with Adobe and they told me to use the Forums for a solution to my issue.
    Bought a new iMac with Mavericks OS/X. Photoshop CS3 will not open due to a "license has stopped working" error message. I asked the Adobe support person for a link to download a replacement copy and he gave me a link that gives a 404 error on the Mac dmg download page,. I am ready to install PS CS3 but first need to have a usable dmg download link. The tech support person assured me that experts on this forum can help. My question is WHY did he send me to a non-working link?
    Thanks for any advice you can give that really works! :-D

  • CS3 licensing has stopped working?

    Recently my enitre CS3 Suite informed my that my "licensing has stopped working. Please uninstall and then reinstall the software." However the software disc is rejected by my 3 year old mac power book as there is some minor wear on the disc. So now what? The disc will read on a newer powermac so I tried to clone it but it is still rejected by my machine. All of the software is already on my mac but none of it will work because of this ridiculous reinstall requirement. How can I reinstall if the disc is unreadable on my mac? Is there a way to copy the disc so it WILL read?

    I'm afraid this is the wrong forum.  Not sure exactly which is the right one.
