My license for Adobe CS3 is not working?

Three weeks ago, I received the message that it seemed like I was working with a counterfeit version of CS3. That's not true, seven years ago I bought the total package and created an account on adobe. I am also in possession of the license code.
No problem I thought, I enter my serial number and I can go back to work. Not so! I get the message that the serial number that I have entered is not valid !!
I have a real problem, I have several projects, which I can not run now! Is there anyone who can tell me how I can solve this problem?

Because YM is your only problem, see Messenger for Mac Help for application specific help.

    Hello:
     I installed Vivado 2015.2 and then got the 30 day evaluation license.
    When I try to run synthesis, I get the following error:
    [Common 17-345] A valid license was not found for feature 'Synthesis' and/or device 'xcvu080'. Please run the Vivado License Manager for assistance in determining
    which features and devices are licensed for your system.
    When I start the license manager, under "View License Status", it has under "Activation Based Licenses"

  • Adobe Photoshop CS4 message: "Licensing for this product has stopped working." I have the serial number but not the media. How do I use the software?

    I recently tried to use Photoshop CS4 that I have on my computer but I get the message:"Licensing for this product has stopped working." I have the serial number but not the media. How can I use this version?

    You can get the installer here: Download CS4 products
    It will install as a fully functional 30 day trial. Entering your serial number will convert it to a permanent version, Standard or Extended, depending on what serial number you purchased.
    If you still have the license problem. get back to me with your OS details and the error code.

  • 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?

    trying to launch photoshop cs3 on a mac running OS10.6.8 i keep getting the error message: 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 adminstrator or Adobe customer support for help
    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.

  • 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

  • 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?

    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 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.

  • 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.

  • License for Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro no longer works -- Why?

    I am getting a very strange error message that indicates my license is no longer valid. I have captured a screen image of the error and would like for someone to look at it. Hopefully, this problem can be solved quickly, as I am in the middle of some Acrobat work. PLEASE HELP!
    Note so far I have tried the following (in this order):
    1. Did a repair from the Help pulldown menu.
    2. Downloaded from Adobe a completely new Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 (AA Pro 9) and then did a repair.
    3. Disable Norton's firewall protection.
    4. Uninstalled AA Pro 9 and then re-installed the newly downloaded AA Pro 9 (in 2.)
    None of these fixed the problem. I have a Windows Vista (32-bit) platform.
    Here are the details of the error message:
    Label: Licensing for this product has stopped working
    Contents:
    You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling
    and reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe Customer
    support for help.
    Message was edited by: Birdy40

    After you uninstalled, you should have done two additional steps before the reinstall: 1. Deleted any left over parts of the Acrobat folder and 2. run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html. These are not sure to solve the problem, but in many cases the problem is related to errors in the registry that the cleaner resolves. Sometimes, there are also some corrupt files left in the Acrobat folder, particularly some bad addons that can be an issue.

  • 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 had to restore my iMac from Time Machine. After the restoration all programs are functioning except my Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium. When I start any program in the suite the error message, "Licensing for this product has stopped working." I restarted the computer and tried again to run Photoshop and the same error message appeared. The message was followed by a message that stated that I needed to contact Adobe technical support and mention Error: 150.30. I need Adobe technical support to provide me a solution for my problem so I can continue using my Adobe products installed on my computer.

    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.
