Licensing Software Failure

The computer my Photoshop CS3 was previously on is completely broken and my new computer doesn't have a CD drive. I have tried to license the software using the serial number but it is saying that it is invalid. How can I fix this?

Contact support by web chat if you have serial number issues.

How to recover from a software failure on the 6120 Fabric Interconnect

Hi all,
Had a software failure while upgrading the fabric interconnects. Does anyone know the process to recover from a software failure.
Ive copied up the kickstart and system images, from the loader prompt ive booted the kickstart image and then loaded the system image but the fabric interconnect still reboots to the "switch(boot)" prompt.
Thanks in Advance
Darren

Hi Robert,
Thanks for the tips, but unfortunately im still stuck on the switch(boot): prompt.
The bootflash: only has 2 files in it, the kickstart and system image.
Each time i get the FI to the boot prompt, i can ping the device, but not access via the GUI. (i dont have a local copy of UCSM installed)
What files should i have in the bootflash: for the FI to correctly load.
below is a log of the FI as it loads the kickstart image from the Loader prompt.
loader> boot bootflash:ucs-6100-k9-kickstart.4.1.3.N2.1.3c.bin

BB Z10 Gone completely black. No LED lights when connected to charger.HOW TO KNOW ITS A HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE FAILURE?

My bb Z10 just went completely blacked while i was using it this afternoon. It had above 70%charge while i was using it. i removed the battery and checked again a number of times. I even tried with another z10 battery properly working and found that its not a problem with my battery since the phone worked well with my battery in the other device.
Since i bought the phone from another country and cant get the service here in India (the phone is still in the warranty period) I m confused what to do.
It would be really useful if I could figure out whether its software or hardware failure. If its a hardware prob, i should ship the device for warranty time benefits of service.But it it where a software prob, i could find out someway to solve this somehow here in India.
HOW TO KNOW ITS A HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE FAILURE?

try this,
connect the device to BlackBerry link.by connecting it the conputer using USB cable(you can use your USB charger here)
then while the device is still connected to the computer do not remove the USB but remove the battery.
if BlackBerry link will be able to detect the device you can perform a back up(to keep the data of the device) then update the device. you need internet connection.
this should fix the issue if the problem is with the software
let me know what happens

Premier Elements 12 Cannot burn DVD Get error message of internal software failure

Cannot butn DVD with Premier Elements 12 Get error message of internal software failure.

Great news JMD103.
There should be a big red pop-up, when one adds a Stop Marker to the end of the Timeline, saying "Do NOT do that!" That Stop Marker will almost always yield a failed Project output to DVD.
Good luck, and happy editing,

Hp Laserjet 4200, Printer Virus or Software Failure?

Have been using a HP Laserjet 4200/4300 series, very few issues, very good printer.
Background:
Small office, this printer is attached to my computer but able to be used by 4 other machines on the network.
We are using everything from windows ME to Windows 7 xp.
What happened:
all day long we were printing & by the afternoon it just stopped. At that time only 2 computers had sent in print requests. Mine was sending Page prints of gov web sites using the latest version of mozilla firefox and I am running Windows 7 xp and the 2nd was sending Word Perfect docs and its on XP. In going through the Que, the printer says they all now have unspecified errors and will not print.
Printer/Proterties/General - print test page
Will not print
Hardware/Menu/Print test, cleaning, Menu map.. all print
Device is Working
Paper is full
Ink is in
Since then I have cleared the Que and sent several different types of things to print from all different types of programs.. the print manager say they all have errors.
So.. Printer Virus or Software Failure?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!
thank you for reading. Sorry for not being more technically savvy.
Please ask for any details.

Just got off the phone with a friend (who is a lot smarter than I) and recommended turning off the printer, then truning it back on and holding down the mainuser button (the one with the check mark) and letting the printer do its thing.
just printed the test page.. so good news there. Still not sure what exactly happened..

Running into two problems:
1. Despite the product actually being used on some computers, Recently Used Apps (RUA) View shows no usage (none in other SW Metering views, either) and not sure what the issue is--SW and HW inventory are both working perfectly fine, as
are the metering processes on the site server. Gives me a lot of false positives for not being used.
2. Have found some cases in which a previous version was installed, and used, then later upgraded, but not used--however, seems no way to filter out just usage for the CURRENT version. Have looked at comparing the SW File Version and the
RUA.File Version, but they are often not identical, particularly if the product was patched.
Is there a better way to determine usage, or a better custom report to use?
Thanks.

I'm cleaning up old post, did you figure this out, if so how?

Plug-in licensing software

I continue to have trouble with the licensing software
I am using for my plug-in. Has anyone found a good solutiuon? for an Adobe plug-in?

Amazingly there are still quite a few photographers/shops around that don't have high end equipment, cranking out senior pictures on a couple of 3880s, with 2-3 macs/pcs using lower cost monitors. I do the best I can to aim them at reasonable displays (stay away from Frys, procure monitors with ips panels, etc.) but they are reluctant to spend several grand for the premium stuff.
It might do some of you good to roam around the real world occasionally.

Error 0xBFFA4001 software failure when initiating acquisition on NI-5102

Dear Support,
When running my software I recieve an error hex 0xBFFA4001 software failure at the niScope_InitiateAcquisition function. I understand this may be due to improper installation and configuration of the scope's software on my computer. I am using the NI-5102 PCMCIA digitizer along with:
Traditional NI-DAQ 7.1
NI-VISA 3.0
NI-SWITCH 2.1
NI-SCOPE 2.5
Using the test panels, the device works fine. Previous to calling the initiate acquisition function I call:
init
configure acquisition
configure vertical
configure horizontal timing
configure trigger digital
actual record length
Is there perhaps something that I may have not configured of configured incorrectly? Or, am I
using the wrong version of some software? Please let me know if you have any insight into this problem.
Thank You.

This might just be an installation issue. I would start off by trying one of the shipping examples to see if they work. You can also try the NI-SCOPE version 2.6. You can find on the Drivers and Updates page from ni.com/support.

Multiple-point Hardware And Software Failures in Two, Separate and Not-connected Computers At The Same Time...

A few days ago, I was working on a restoration of a 100-years-or-so-old Calculus book on one of my Linux based computers, while my other computer with the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system was serving as Broadcast TV receiver with its USB HDTV tuner
in the afternoon. The weather in Los Angeles was summer-like in November, with clear skies and 90 degree Fahrenheit temperatures. All of a sudden, my Linux based computer halted in the middle of the processing it had performed hundreds of times
before in hotter days. It would not restart. The entire boot block of the disk seemed to have been garbled. This did not seem even feasible at all, so I decided to shut its power off for a while. It came back up after a while,
and everything looked normal. Then, it did the same thing again. I decided to open its cover and check on its multiple fans as there was nothing else that could go wrong.
I then noticed that the computer with the Microsoft Windows Vista Operating system which had been receiving the broadcast TV, was displaying a freshly-booted log-in screen. It had "Blue-screened" while I was working on the other computer
across the large room. This again did not seem any feasible as there had been utterly no connection between these two computers. Even the AC power line circuit was different. Furthermore, this computer had the most extensive air-cooling system
I had built to have it work through 107 degree Fahrenheit temperatures indoors. Anyway, I logged back in and started the broadcast TV reception again. Sure enough, after a while it "blue-screened" one more time...
I went back to the Linux-based computer and found all of its fans operating, but with somewhat hotter disk drives. The problem was that in hotter days, the same computer had cooler disk drives with nothing different. I concluded that somehow
the 80 mm fan mounted in the front side of the case, with its side with rotating blades clamped on the perforated part of the steel case serving as the fan grill, was starting up fine. But, as the time passed the spring-loaded rotating hub was slowly
drawn toward the perforated steel case by two means: The partial vacuum formed by the suction generated by the blades of the fan, and by the magnetic attraction of the rotating hub with electro-magnets in it to the partially magnetized, perforated steel casing.
The first effect was always there, so it was not the real cause, but once something else came along, it really helped the latter. The hub was slowly drawn to the perforated steel casing due to magnetic attraction, with the holes in the casing
inducing a huge air-drag on the hub blades as there was no by-pass around to supply the extra-air needed to reduce the partial vacuum. In addition, the rotating hub with the electro-magnets now was very close to the conducting metal surface and the induced
eddy-currents in the metal by the moving electro-magnets had added even more drag on the rotating hub, causing it to come nearly to a halt. The disk drive electronics was heating up and was causing DMA access faults which in turn caused the Linux kernel
to panic and halt.
Well, this was nearly unbelievable, but true... I had not brought any magnets into the room and I still do not know how the computer case got magnetized. It has been working at the same location for years. The solution was to move the fan
away from the perforated steel casing a little so that some air could come in through the gaps on the sides of the fan (hence supplying a by-pass), reducing the partial vacuum in front of the fan. This kept the rotating hub far enough away to prevent
the massive induced eddy-current drag from slowing the fan down to a halt. The computer now works perfectly with the very same fan as it has had been doing for years.
The real solution is to saw the perforated part of the steel casing in front of the fan away, and to replace it with a better fan grill. The best fan grill material I have found is the finely perforated, thin, black aluminum sheet that is usually
used as a car audio speaker grill. In fact, I use these in my Microsoft Windows Vista based computer. The fans are quieter, with more air flow. It also keeps dust away and you can brush the collected dust off easily.
The next problem was the halting of the computer with the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system with a blue-screen. The fans in it could not be the cause of this, as it had already had the best improvements I could put in it, with even
externally powered fans that did not load the computer power supply. And, all of the fans were working well. In the meantime, the Microsoft November 2014 updates for the Microsoft Windows Vista came out, and as usual I told the computer to
load and to implement them. Sure enough, the computer again "blue-screened" in the middle of the update procedure.
That was somewhat too much, but there was nothing else I could do other than to debug it. I had not changed anything in the computer and its power supply, completely internally updated by myself a few years ago, was working perfectly. Whatever
was causing it was not in the hardware. It was not in the November 2014 software updates either as it "blue-screened" before those were announced. I brought the computer back up after several disk and other software checks and after the
completion of the updates, I gingerly turned the network modem on. I then sent the reports on the six failures (three "blue-screen" type failures and three "Anti-malware Executable" failures) to Microsoft with all of details
requested using the Microsoft Windows Vista problem reporting system. Within minutes, the Microsoft came up with a diagnosis that the USB driver code in the system had a serious bug. I had not changed this code in years. It suggested that
I should use the "Microsoft Fix-It" for this problem and it pointed to a link to download it. I did download it. It ran and the "blue-screen" problem just went away, as if it had never been there...

I ordered the capacitors on Friday and they arrived on Monday, November 17, 2014. I removed the motherboard from the machine, by removing all PCI and AGP boards, drive and fan connectors and the computer power supply first. The motherboard then
simply unbolted from the case and came out with the CPU fan assembly still attached.
I wrapped the solder side of the motherboard with aluminum foil and set up a work place with the aluminum foil under the motherboard and myself electrically well grounded. Here came another surprise: There were four more capacitors of the same
kind just behind the CPU fan assembly and their tops were also deformed with one of them leaking the electrolyte inside from the the top. Luckily, I had ordered more than two capacitors to get the quantity discount and the lower rate of shipping.
I do use them in other circuits I occasionally build.
Technically, the only thing one needed to do was to unsolder the six old capacitors from the motherboard and to solder six new ones in in their place with the correct polarities. However, due to fact that the capacitors span the 3.3 V power plane and
the ground plane in the multi-layer motherboard, it is nearly impossible to unsolder these capacitors using regular, fine-tip soldering irons. The thick copper of the power and the ground planes carry the soldering iron heat away very fast, preventing
the solder from melting quickly. Continuous application of heat at this point will simply burn the internal insulating epoxy layers and cause shorts inside the motherboard which are impossible to fix in any reasonable amount of time.
The only reasonable way to remove these capacitors was to dismantle the capacitors from the top leaving their already soldered leads in place. The new capacitors were then tack soldered to these stubs using lead-free, hard solder. However, the
CPU fan assembly and the CPU itself had to be removed from the board to be able to work on these capacitors.
To dismantle the capacitors from the top, I first drilled small holes at the tops of the capacitors at the intersections of the indentations using the tip of a hobbyist's knife. I then used needle nosed pliers to peel back the triangular sections
of aluminum from the center at the tops to their bases at the top edges of the capacitors. Next, I removed the plastic layers covering the outside of the capacitors by scoring the plastic layers first from the bottom to the top using the tip of
the hobbyist's knife and peeling the plastic layers off starting at the cut. The following step was to cut the aluminum cans of the capacitors from the top to the bottom using the hobbyist's knife like a can opener. One could not use a saw like
tool here to accomplish the feat as the saws generated very fine metal chips which were very hard to remove and were certain to cause shorts in the densely populated mother board. The cans were then peeled off the rest of the capacitors starting from
the top at the cuts using needle nose pliers, revealing the spiral-wound metal-paper layers of the capacitors.
The wound layers of the capacitors were peeled off layer by layer by cutting into the layers from the top to the bottom, leaving only the two aluminum electrodes which were crimped and soldered to the leads of the capacitors. The picture below shows
the six capacitors with one of them dismantled (left) and with all of them dismantled (right):
The black disks below the aluminum electrodes are the rubber plugs covering the bottoms of the capacitors. The rubber plugs were then cut in half using the hobbyist's knife and removed using the needle nose pliers. It was not possible to
solder to the aluminum electrodes, so these were trimmed at the point they were crimped on the leads of the capacitors, leaving only the stubs of the capacitors' leads soldered to the motherboard.
The new capacitors with suitably trimmed leads were then soldered to these stubs with the correct polarities using lead-free, hard solder. The capacitors were lightly bonded together using a flexible glue to prevent them from moving. The picture
below shows the new capacitors as installed into the motherboard:
I then assembled everything back together and turned the computer on. The BIOS complained on the boot screen that the CPU was out of its socket and it needed to be reset. I set BIOS parameters correctly to their original values. The computer
came up and worked without any problems. I typed this message on my newly repaired computer running the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system.
By the way, the manufacturing date on the motherboard is 09/12/2002 and the CPU is a Socket-478, 2.4 GHz, Intel Pentium-4.

Hardware or Software failure? Mac Book Pro

I got my Macbook Pro last year in October. It is a MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10). It came with mavericks. Right after I was offered to upgrade to Yosemite and in my inexperience with Macs I just went for it. Then I realized that many features I saw in my friends' Macs were gone in Yosemite, so I went back to Mavericks. But then again I reverted to Yosemite because iCloud drive was only available with this OS X.
I ended up getting Microsoft office for Mac because the Apple suite Pages and such lack so many features that were present in older versions, but at least with Yosemite I could use iCloud drive.
But now, after the last update to Yosemite iCloud drive is just working like nuts, deleted folders keep reappearing, files or folders get duplicated multiple times, and other folders are emptied without notice, files just gone!. I created another Apple ID and this a new iCloud account to which I added just a couple folders to see if it worked better, but almost immediately one of the files in the them was duplicated 5 times.
As a result I abandoned iCloud and went to Google Drive and I am pretty happy with it. What I am not happy with is spending lots of money in a Mac only to end up using Microsoft, Google and other third party apps because Apple seems to be messing up big time, and going by what I read from countless customers it seems they cannot care less about what customers like or want or need.
Now the new issue. After the update to 10.10.3 not only iCloud has gone insane. Safari is slow, stops for minutes, or does not open some pages or part of pages. To complicate things now the cursor started to disappear and after a couple minutes my laptop just shuts down. This has happened a few times the last couple days so far but it is a big concern. (I m thinking how a key went lose the first week I got the laptop too, Apple replaced the key).
All said, I am now not sure what is what, is it a software problem I am having or worse, is it a hardware failure. At times I wish I would have gotten just a PC laptop.
What should I do?
Thanks
JC

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Online cloud license verification failure

As I understand the situation from Adobe blurb the software needs to check online that you are still licensed every 30 days. What is the consequence if on the 30 day you are unable to verify because you don't have an internet connection or there is a problem with the verification process (of course that would never happen in real life! )?
If the software simply stops working this could be catastrophic - deadline to meet and suddenly because you can't connect to the Net you can't use your software.

Sure,
This page has more info about the activation process
http://www.adobe.com/products/activation/
The software will tell you it needs to activate if it is unable to do so, the grace period is for seven days to the complete activation process.

License check failure

To whom it may concern,
It looks that my license is expired but based on the instructions to update my license I'm unable to get into the Visual Administrator to update. It kind a caught 22? How am I going to update the license key if I'm unable to log into the Visual Administrator? Anyone has any suggestions? Is there another way to update the license key?
