My Illustrator CS4 CD Key is not working.

Last year I bought a second hand Illustrator CS4 CD from my collegue.
I've took it home, installed it, and wrote the cd key in, and it worked(of course). I've been using it for a while.
However I had to re install it recently due to my computer problems. I installed it, wrote the cd key in, and it says that the cd key is incorrect.
Can anyone tell me what is wrong?

What type of computer problems did you experience?  Did you remove the software using the uninstaller prior to reinstalling?  Finally which operating system are you using?

  • Modifer keys do not work with mouse in Illustrator

    Below is a copy of a bug report I just submitted to Adobe. I don't suppose any users have run across this and found a solution or workaround?
    I found someone else with this problem in an archived topic thread, but the only response that poor fellow got was an accusation of not following instructions (His problem wasn't user error, BTW).
    Thanks
    ******BUG******
    Concise problem statement:
    Modifer keys do not work with mouse: For example, free transform or rotate behaviors that require "Click-Ctrl" .
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. select object
    2. select free transform tool
    3. left click (without releasing) a corner of the bounding box.
    4. start dragging
    5. press ctrl
    Results:
    object behaves as though the ctrl key was not pressed. i.e. the cursor does not change shape and the object scales rather than distorts.
    Expected results: The cursor should change shape as the ctrl key is pressed and the object should distort rather than scale.
    Additional information: This behavior is intermittent. Occasionally Illustrator recognizes the "Click-Ctrl" combination and behaves exactly as the help file predicts it will. The cursor changes shape and the object distorts rather than scales. I can offer no rhyme or reason for when Illustrator will behave as advertised and when it will ignore the modifier keys.
    The example above involves the free transform tool, but the problem occurs just as often with other tool behaviors that require a modifier key + mouse combination.
    Primarily using Wacom Intuos3 tablet. (with latest drivers), but have also tried combinations with microsoft mouse or both mice installed.
    Also, immediately after an occurrence Illustrator bug, left AI open, went to a different app that uses mouse+modifier (Ctrl+Click). That different app recognizes Ctrl+Click with no problems whatsoever.

    Thanks Guys,
    Good to know it's working for you. I guess that's the nature of intermittent bugs. Of course, Adobe's bug report form has a field for version, which I, of course, filled in. Sorry I didn't add it to this post. I'm using the latest version CS3 v13.0.2.
    Stephen,
    Sorry I was not more clear when I said, "For example, ...". I was talking about the modifier keys not working with several different tools. The Free Transform tool advertises functionality that is supposed to work with a "Click (down, but don't release)then hold down Ctrl" combination. The Rotate tool advertises a behavior that is supposed to work with an "Alt-Click" combination. These are just 2 examples of the modifier keys not working. I focused primarily on one example in the bug report(ctrl after and in addition to click in the free transform tool, not alt-click in the rotate tool).
    Here is what I expect(quoted from Adobe's CS3 help file)
    (From the "Distort Objects with the Free transform tool" help topic)
    "Select one or more objects.
    Select the Free Transform tool .
    Start dragging a corner handle on the bounding box (not a side handle), and then do one of the following:
    Hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) until the selection is at the desired level of distortion.
    Hold down Shift+Alt+Ctrl (Windows) or Shift+Option+Command (Mac OS) to distort in perspective."
    (from the "Rotate an object by a specific angle" help topic:)
    You can control the exact angle of rotation with the Rotate command.
    Select one or more objects.
    "Do one of the following:
    To rotate around the center point, choose Object > Transform > Rotate, or double-click the Rotate tool.
    To rotate around a different reference point, select the Rotate tool. Then Alt‑click (Windows) or Option‑click (Mac OS) where you want the reference point to be in the document window.
    Enter the rotation angle in the Angle text box...."
    These Tool based mouse-key combinations do occasionally work as they are supposed to, so I know what the expected results are supposed to look like, but whether they work or not appears to depend on the phase of the moon, the day of the week, and the color of the president's underwear.
    Other non-tool based mouse-key combinations in Illustrator work consistently all the time - Ctrl-A for Select All as just one example that always works.
    Thanks Again

  • ABAP/4 Key is not working in BI 7.0 version

    Hello,
    Some reason my ABAP/4 key is not working on BI 7.0 few months back I created few ABAP programs
    When i try to create a new program using t-code SE38 and program name as 0201 then create button then system will ask ABAP key when i enter its giving error message "incorrect entry"
    What would be the reason?
    Thanks

    well, normally a report has to start with Z or Y. So what key is system asking for? Developer key, which you have already entered a few month ago, or a 'modification' key?
    Are you creating this report with the same user name?
    Have a look at table DEVACCESS in transaction SE11. here you will find all the users and there developer keys.
    Are you creating these report on the same installation as a few month ago, or did something change in the mean time?

  • Function keys are not working correctly

    I've been looking all over the various threads and I can't find an answer that solves my problem.
    Here are the details:
    I bought the computer in the U.S. where I live.
    I have a iMac 2.4GHz intel Core 2 Duo  EMC 2133 with a 20" screen. Bought it new in February 2008.
    I have Mac OS X 10.5.8  (I am waiting for my order for OS Snow Leopard to come in!!)
    I have been using a wireless mouse and Keyboard (Love not having cords!)
    Recently, my wireless keyboard got a short and quit working. I went down to the apple store and got a new wireless keyboard.
    I had the computer with me at the genius bar so, yes, the apple employee saw exactly what I have.
    I took it all home got the thing all put back together and got the new keyboard paired up and working with the computer.
    Here are the problems:
    Went to go use the function keys while using iTunes and found they weren't working properly. The F10, F11 and F12 do not control the volume of sound as the keyboard indicates they would, they instead activate dashboard, spaces, and application windows. 
    Following the advice of other threads, I looked over in the system preferences and made sure the "Use all F1, F2 etc." box was unchecked (it was unchecked), things still didn't work.
    I tried the fn key but it appears to not work at all it has no effect on the functioning of the function keys.
    I went under keyboard shortcuts in system preferences and found the F10, F11 and F12 keys, it confirms that those keys control spaces, dashboard and application windows as they are performing but shows no options to either reassign to volume control (as marked on the keyboard) or make the fn key work.
    I've gone back and forth trying various combinations of checked and unchecked boxes to see if anything would work, so far I've come up with nothing.
    A couple more important or interesting facts:
    Yes I have turned off and taken the batteries out of the old keyboard. My bluetooth connection currently shows it as disconnected.
    I have restarted the computer.
    One thing I find odd; when I go under preferences and go to Keyboard and Mouse when I go under the section "Bluetooth" it shows Bluetooth mouse with the name of the mouse and the battery level. BUT nothing is showing up under bluetooth Keyboard, I can't figure out how to change this and don't know if it is contributing to the problem.
    When I go under the bluetooth logo on the top bar I find the mouse and both keyboards referenced, the old keyboard is shown as disconnected and the other two are connected. I have tried to update the device's name but it doesn't seem to let me.
    I have double clicked on the device under bluetooth and it shows the new keyboard as discoverable, paired and connected. Hence, I am using the new keyboard to write this inquiry.
    Please, any assistance would be of great help. I have tried to be thorough in order help narrow the possible problem. Thanks!!

    Just thought I'd let you know.  Our suspicions were correct, it was the OS. After I installed Snow Leopard (10.6.8) all the problems were corrected.  I also updated the RAM from 1 gb to 6 gb. The mac is working all around better. Sorry it took so long to get back to everyone. My superdrive had pooped out. Rather than replace it I got an external drive from OWC connected with firewire 800.  So far everything is running very well, as far as I can tell this external drive is better than the original superdrive. My superdrive has always acted funny, infact I returned the first mac I got after a week because its superdrive was also malfunctioning. Anyway, all that to say everything seems to be fully functioning again.

  • The 1 key does not work on my wireless keyboard what do i do?

    Hi i had a usb keyboard for a while and the 1 key did not work but i could but use the numbers on the right side of the keyboard but we just got a wireless keyboard that doesnt have the other numbers on the right side so we cannot use the number 1. But it will work in the login window and on other accounts. i do not know how to fix it, what do i do?

    Hello:
    If I understand you, the number one key works some places, but not others.  This is true of the wireless KB as well as the old wired KB. 
    If I do understand, let us know.  If what is happening is different, post the correct information, please.

  • Function keys do not work on new wireless keyboard

    Hello....my good friend just bought a new iMac G5 2.1 spotlight model computer and has had troubles with his new wireless keyboard in that all 16 function keys do not work at all. Got any ideas or is it just a defective keyboard? He bought this at my recommendation so i am trying to make it all work smoothly for him. Would appreciate a quick response as he has now had this mac for 2 weeks and we cannot figure out the problem. Thanks in advance for any and all help

    I have no issues using the Apple BT keyboard. All function keys that apply to the iPad work correctly; display brightness, iPod app control, etc.
    Use the most recent version of iOS and also iTunes on your computer. Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo.
    If that  does not work, then restore the iPad to it factory settings.

    You can install it on two computers simultaneously, so uninstalling is not needed if it's the only other installation.

  • The enter key is not working in firefox but it has working fine in chrome and IE so please help me to rid out from this.

    The enter key is not working in firefox but it has working fine in chrome and IE so please help me to rid out from this.

    Hello gokulaan, '''try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • My Escape key is not working

    Hi,
    I am Meena.
    I am doing a project using NetBeans and MS-Access.
    When I run my project a internal framed named login loaded on the jdesktoppane which in JFrame.
    So in the login internal frame i used two buttons one for Sign-in and another for sign out.
    So I combined the Sign-in button with Enter key and Sign-out button with Escape key by the following coding.
    I wrote the following coding in LoginInternalFrame->properties->enabled->advanced->Generate PreIntialization Code.
    Action EscFromLogin=new AbstractAction()
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
        jButton2.doClick();
    Action OkFromLogin=new AbstractAction()
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
           jButton1.doClick();
    getRootPane().getInputMap(jButton2.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW).put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE,0,false),"Esc_in_Login");
    getRootPane().getActionMap().put("Esc_in_Login",EscFromLogin);
    getRootPane().getInputMap(jButton1.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW).put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER,0,false),"Ok_in_Login");
    getRootPane().getActionMap().put("Ok_in_Login",OkFromLogin);In the above coding Enter key works well no problem.that is when I press the Enter key ,it combined with Sign-in button and works well.
    But when I press Escape key,it doesnot combined with Sign-off button.
    that is nothing is happening when I press Esc key.
    So i change the Escape key and test with F1 then F2 then F3 all are combined with Sign-off button and works well.But only the escape key is not working.
    But I have so many internal frames .In all internalframes my esc key works well.But not in the first inter frame(login internalframe)
    I couldnot understand the reason.
    Will you please help me to solve.
    Thank you so much.
    Meena

    mmm, i'm doing some tests and the case is working for me... The reason F1,F2 keys works while ESC don't is that some component is "eating" the ESC key. Probably your password textField, but it is not its default behaviour. For example, try to replace the textField with a FormattedTextField, write something into it and press ESC, this first ESC is consumed by the FormattedTextField, if you press ESC a second time the FormattedTextField not consume it, so the ESC keystroke processing is given to the rest of the componentes until one of they consume it (basically). So, how can you solve th problem? Try to determine which component is the "escape-eater". Once you detected it try to determine which properties are set and if this properties can alter the keyboard mapping. The problem can be difficult to repeat for us because the look and feel, java version, etc. can affect the system behaviour too. A global hook to ESC can also be the reason (maybe esc key it's not reaching ths components), try to override ProcessKeyBindings and log the results....

  • Hello, how much did you pay when some parts of the keyboard keys are not working properly due to accidental spilt of tea?

    I accidentally spilt a tea on the keyboard of my Macbook Air 11'. I managed to wipe the keyboard and saved my laptop. However, I noticed that the Spacebar, Shift and Command keys are not working as it should be. It's like something's stuck inside that makes these keys hard to press as usual. I refered this problem to Amsys, Berwick St London, as the reservations in Apple Stores are full. Do you have any idea how much is the cost for diagnosis and repair if ever?
    Please help.

    if you spilled a good bit of tea, its a serious problem, yes.
    it got inside, and will corode, and bad things will begin to happen.
    Liquid spills, why your MacBook chassis is a one-way valve for spills
    After a substantial spill many people will turn their notebook upside down and shake it, not only does this not work, but it spreads liquid havoc throughout your machine and makes things often as bad as possible.
    The keyboard itself acts like a one way valve in the case of a substantial liquid spill. While liquid pours into the bottom chassis easy, it does not come out easily at all, and in the case of any spill, most of it will not come out by turning it upside down. Disconnect all power and contact Apple for diagnostics and repair.
    Do not attempt to, after a spill, ‘dry out your MacBook’ and test it
    After a spill most people invariably try to “dry out” their notebook by various methods, including hair dryers and otherwise. This both does not work, and after a substantial spill of any magnitude, even if the liquid was water, residue is left behind.
    There are additionally many very tight places inside your notebook where liquids will linger for a very long time, and cause corrosion or worse.
    Immediately unplug your notebook and contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and parts replacement.
    In the case of very minor spills people will “dry out” their notebook and feel success that their notebook is working ok, however invariably in nearly all instances after 4-14 days an error / fault pops up and is usually followed by more.
    In case of a spill, damage estimates are impossible,.....anything can be fixed, without question.......the question is cost.
    contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and cost estimation ....possible parts replacement.
