My photoshop has stopped working. Something about the license. Error 150:30 I have photoshop 8 on a Dell XPS. It was fine till I took it to Geek Squad. I have lost the receipt and it has been a while so I can't really take it back.

Does anyone have any idiot proof instructions on how to fix this? I would also like to upgrade to photoshop 12 if I can get this working again.
Cheers!

If you know the file names for your pics, just do a search for them. Usually My Documents or My Pictures is the default folder to rummage through if you can't remember. If the tech did not wipe the hard drive, they are there, somewhere. Elements does not hide them.

  • I get a message that says "Registration has stopped working" contact Adobe support with error 150.30.

    I just migrated my apps & data to a newer MP. When I try to open PSE I get the message "Registration has stopped working." and Error 150.30. I do not get an opportunity to enter my registration key. What do I do?

    You can never, never, never migrate an installed copy of PSE. Is "a newer MP" a mac pro? You will first need to download and run this, then you can go around and manually remove all the bits of PSE that you can find. Check not only applications but hard drive>library>application support and and your username>library preferences. Spotlight will not help with this; it's programmed to skip these kinds of files.

    Any information would be MUCH appreciated!!!

    Thank you kindly. That suggests a user account specific issue then, although the Stackhash results cover a wide variety of sins. (Roughly speaking, the Stackhash result in the problem reports is Windows way of saying "I don't know what module caused the problem.")
    Did iTunes launch in the other user account (even though it was empty in there)?

  • W520 "Power Manager has stopped working" then "finterpri​nt software error"

    For the last 6 months, I have not done any lenovo updates,and stuck with old working versions of bios, powermanager, nvidia drivers etc (having lived though the nightmanre of the fist 6 months with CPUs stuck at min on mains and max on batteries etc)
    Then I re-installed from scratch and updated all lenovo drivers to the latest, which includes power manager 6.32
    Now I get random "Power manager has stopped working" errors pop up for no apparent reason.
      They are always accompanied by a finger print reader error:

    hi eos,
    Thanks for posting. Based from your post you'll probably need to reinstall the power manager and Fingerprint reader. I was checking the support site and it appread that there is also a patch for the powever manager that needs to be loaded.
    At this point what I suggest is for you to uninstall the current Power manager you have install fro the link below.
    Lenovo Power Management Driver for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit), Vista (32-bit, 64-bit), XP (32-bit, 64-bit) - Notebook
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.p​age?DocID=DS014939
    Power Manager for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit), Vista (32-bit, 64-bit) - Notebook
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.p​age?DocID=DS014924
    ThinkPad Power Manager Patch module for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit), Vista (32-bit, 64-bit), XP - ThinkPad
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.p​age?DocID=DS018811
    Please ensure to install all 3 links and check for the changes. In regards to the FingerPrint reader, I'm assuming that you have BIOEXCESS installed aswell. For the time being it is advisable to uninstall that too and check for changes. Once installed the power management. only the install a fresh copy of the BIOEXCESS and check for the changes then.
    Do let me know of the update.
    Regards.

  • Setting up Photoshop CS 4 after migration MacBook air licensing error 150:30

    On my previous computer, I deactivated the license before migrating because that it what you are supposed to do in order to activate it on a new account/machine. Basically like a transfer. The error tells me to restart, which I have done several times, to no use. Then it said to get help here, so obviously I'm asking this question.
    What do I do to make the license begin working again?
    I also could not find that root folder in my library, so please do not suggest that as a solution.
    Thank you for your help!

    REinstall the software properly. You cannot find anything because nothing is there. That's the whole point why migration isn't usable with Adobe software.

  • How do I resolve licensing error 150:30 in Photoshop Elements 8 on a Mac?

    How do I resolve this issue? I found some troubleshooting steps through Adobe but the files they reference I don't have on my computer and I don't think the steps I found were for my version of elements anyways. Thanks!

    You need to contact Adobe about that. You will need CS6 or above.

  • Licensing has stopped working error durinng launch of Photoshop CS3

    I cannot get rid of this error message during launch of PS CS3. I tried uninstalling running the CS3MacClean Script, reinstalling, ... same problem. The same installer and serial number works fine on a clean system so I know there must be a file or two that the cleanup script doesn't remove.
    Anybody know what files to delete?

    After installation, a system upgrade, machine migration, backup restore, or some other system event(s), trying to launch Adobe applications on Mac OS X results in the error "Licensing for this product has stopped working." You may see error numbers after this message, such as "150:30".
    Solutions
    Do one or more of the following solutions. Note, Adobe Trial Software that displays the error can not be restored to run.
    Solution 1: Run the License Repair Tool

    Important: The patch applies to Creative Suite 3 or 4 products, Acrobat 8 or 9, Photoshop Elements 6 or 8, Director and Technical Communication Suite.  If your issue was not resolved on the first attempt, run the patch again and enter option 0, when prompted to do so.
    Solution 2: Delete the FLEXnet Publisher preferences folder
    Important: The path listed below refers to the Library folder that lives just inside your startup disk, not the Library folder inside your user home folder!
    Quit all Adobe applications.
    On your startup disk, locate and rename, or copy to the desktop and then delete, the following folder:
    /Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/
    Start your Adobe application(s).
    Solution 3: Repair Disk Permissions
    Launch the Apple Disk Utility:
    /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app
    Select your startup disk.
    Click Repair Disk Permissions.
    Note: This can take considerable time. For more information about using Disk Utility, consult Apple's website.
    Start your Adobe application(s).
    Solution 4: Reset your permissions on the FLEXnet Publisher licensing service folder.
    Important: The path listed below refers to the Library folder that lives just inside your startup disk, not the Library folder inside your user home folder!
    Use the permissions instructions below to modify the permissions on the following folder on your startup disk:
    /Library/Application Support/FLEXnet Publisher/
    Solution 5: Reset your permissions on the Adobe PCD folder.
    Important: The path listed below refers to the Library folder that lives just inside your startup disk, not the Library folder inside your user home folder!
    Use the permissions instructions below to modify the permissions on the following folder on your startup disk:
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD/
    Permissions Instructions:
    Close out of all Adobe applications. Follow the directions below to modify permissions to the folder.
    Note: This solution requires administrative privileges on your computer. You will need to provide administrative credentials.
    On Mac OS X 10.4
    Using Finder, navigate to the folder to be modified.
    Control+Click the folder, and then select Get Info.
    Expand the Ownership & Permissions section.
    Click the Details option to show the various owner and group options.
    Verify that you have Read & Write permissions.
    Click the lock icon next to the Owner field, choose yourself as the Owner, type in your administrator username and password when prompted, and click OK.
    Change the Owner to system.
    Change the Permission to Read & Write for Owner.
    Click Apply To Enclosed Items and click OK to the warning dialog.
    Type in your administrator username and password when prompted and click OK.
    Close the Get Info dialog box.
    Launch Adobe Acrobat 9 or an Adobe Creative Suite 4 product.
    On Mac OS X 10.5
    Using Finder, navigate to the folder to be modified.
    Control+Click on the folder, and then select Get Info.
    Expand the Sharing & Permissions section.
    Click on the Details option to show the various owner and group options.
    Click the lock icon in the lower right corner. Type in your administrator username and password when prompted and click OK.
    Change your username to have Read & Write permissions.
    Change admin to have Read & Write permissions.
    Change Everyone to have Read & Write permissions.
    Click the Gear icon and select Apply To Enclosed Item.
    Close the Get Info dialog box.
    Launch Adobe Acrobat 9 or an Adobe Creative Suite 4 product.
    Solution 6: Remove the SQLite journaling file.
    Important: The path listed below refers to the Library folder that lives just inside your startup disk, not the Library folder inside your user home folder!
    The journaling file exists only under specific circumstances where a client is accessing the database file with certain options enabled. If the file does not exist, continue to the next solution.
    Using Finder, navigate to:
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD/cache
    If present, delete cache.db-journal.
    Launch Adobe Acrobat 9 or an Adobe Creative Suite 4 product.
    Solution 7: (Acrobat 9 only) Reinstall on a non-case-sensitive file system.
    Adobe applications are not supported on an OS formatted with a case-sensitive file system. If you attempt to install an Adobe application on a case sensitive volume such as a UFS, HFS+ case sensitive (HFSX) or SMB formatted drive, you get an error that the file system of the setup drive is not supported. Only Acrobat 9 doesn't display such error message and allows you to install the application, but attempting to launch Acrobat 9 results in the error "Licensing for this product has stopped working (error code 130:9)." The drive needs to be reformatted to a non-case-sensitive file system.
    To check if MAC OS X is formatted with a case-sensitive file system :
    From the Apple menu select About this Mac.
    Click More Info and under Hardware select Serial-ATA.
    Select the drive Acrobat 9 has been installed on and check the file system in the list. Note if the file system is case sensitive.
    Alternatively, use the Disk Utility to check the file system:
    From Applications > Utilities, launch the Disk Utility
    Select the disk Acrobat is installed on and check its format.
    Solution 8: Contact Adobe Technical Support
    Adobe Technical Support can obtain logs from your machine to determine additional information about the failure. Contact Adobe Technical Support if the information provided has not helped to resolve your issue.
    Additional Information
    The Flexnet folders/files required to run Adobe applications can get corrupted, or have permission settings problems, if moved from one machine to another, or through a system restore from Time Machine. Flexnet service licensing failures can't be resolved by re-installating the appliaction, nor will the Adobe CS3 or CS4 Clean Scripts solve this problem. If permissions issues prevented the FLEXnet licensing service from launching, accessing its data, or communicating with Adobe processes, the licensing failure is expected.

    ashlee, Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most glitches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.
    After reboot give it a few minutes and see if your data starts working again.

  • "Edit in Photoshop" link from Lightroom has stopped working.

    My "Edit in Photoshop" link from Lightroom has stopped working.  If I hit "Cmd E" in Lightroom, Photoshop opens, but the picture doesn't appear.  I have LR 5 and PS CC 2014.  I recently uninstalled or deleted PS 6 & PS CC (not PS CC 2014).  Any suggestions?

    Same problem here. I uninstalled Photoshop CS5 and reinstalled. No change.  I also tried dumping PS preferences
    It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
    I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1  Lightroom is version 5.7  Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
    FWIW, I also can't automate>Photomerge ... . Makes me think Photoshop, not Lightroom, is all wacky.

    cannot find any info on web and View problem details in VIRTUAL MACHINE CONNECTION error box:

    I get this error when click Connect in HV Manager. The machines are on and are accessible through RDP.
    This is a lab host after restart it randomly works. I have this problem during last week.
    Just interesting to know what could cause the problem and if other were seeing something like that...
    Also, can connect to machine from SCVMM.

    I have the exact same issue (running windows 2008 R2 Enterprise). I can RDP to any of the VM but simply cannot connect using console.  This is causing me grief since I have to create few more VMs and work with the existing VMs.  Without console
    access, I cannot create and do any config changes for new VMs.  Can someone help. Things that I have tried so far.
    1. Exported VMs
    2 uninstalled .NET 4 & 3.5.
    3. Hyper-v role removed.
    4. Reinstalled Hyper-v, reinstalled .NET 4 & 3.5, patch current as of today.
    5. Imported the VMs back and still cannot connect.  Exactly same error.  No errors in any logs in event viewer or Hyper-v logs. 
    6.  Navigated to c:\Program Files\Hyper-v and manually run the VMCONNECT.EXE app (choosing the localhost/server and appropriate VM from the list) but no dice. The app just sits there for ever without any connection.
    7.  I am baffled and surprised no one has a solution.  Tried multiple search engines.
    8. The host machine is patch current as of today and there are no patches available to try.  Reading through some forums, I have also installed some hotfixes with no luck.
    9. Finally, I can see the little graphic for each VM changing as windows is loading or stopping in server manager for hyper-v.
    Hoping someone has a solution.  The error that pops up is exactly similar and no clues of the faulting module.
    Appreciate your time and help.
