Photoshop CS activation problem

I am currently using Windows 7 and have to use Windows XP mode to use my Photoshop CS.  My Windows XP mode became corrupt so I uninstalled it and re-installed.  When I re-installed Photoshop CS I was unable to activate it online or by the automated phone sytem.  I went and did a live chat with Adobe support and they sent me to the forums for help.  I'm not clear why they were unable to help me.  I know my Photoshop CS is old, but I still need it.  I am the only user it ever had.  It is registered under my name.  Can anybody assist me?

I installed it last night and selected the option not to register during installation. It doesn't remind me when I restart. In the Help menu, there's a Registration option. You might be able to change it there. You also might be able to just go ahead and register if you have to. I chose not to because I'm already registered under CS and I wanted to avoid whatever complications might arise if I started registration and it didn't work for some reason.

  • Photoshop CS2 Activation Problem

    Hello
    I'm trying to install Photoshop CS2 for a client, but when I launch the application I get the error: "An error has been detected and activation cannot continue. Please restart your computer and reinstall the application"
    I've already done the obvious thing to reboot and re-install the application with the same error. I tried deleting temporary files to no avail. Is there any other solution I should try before I re-image the machine?
    I've uploaded a screen shot of the error here: http://tinyurl.com/6rew36
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I'm getting this same error message "An error has been detected with a required application library ...". I have used my CS2 for the last 3 years with no issues. I've un-installed and re-installed 4 times to no avail. Is there really no fix? That seems pretty incredible that no one has found a solution.
    Anybody been able to resolve? Is it as simple as disabling the firewall & antivirus?
    Thanks for the help,
    Wes.

  • Photoshop CS3 activation problems

    Does anyone know how to activate Photoshop CS3 on win8.1, everything i try fails, i have internet, the activate over the phone say it know longer supports activation and tells me to go to a website that is not available. HELP!

    You may need to find Adobe's phone number on the web site, starting with clicking the red icon at the top of this page.
    Chances are you'll need to run Photoshop CS3 As Administrator, at least to get started.
    Photoshop CS3 can activate just fine on Windows 8.1.  I have a copy installed and running.

  • Photoshop CS4 activation problems

    Hi everyone,
      I was wondering if anyone knows how to disable a registered copy of Master Suite? I currently have it installed on both my laptop and my desktop. One day my desktop's hard drive corrupted itself and would not allow my pc to boot no matter what I tried. So I ended up doing a low level format to my drive and reinstalling the operating system along with master suite. I was not able to deactivate my desktop's CS4 install because the computer was not able to boot into windows. Formating did not disable my copy of master suite, so when I restalled master suite it claims that I have it running on three computers yet, I have it only running on two computers. I installed it on to same pc, with the same operating system. My big question is, how do I disable the defunct copy of CS4 that is not working so I can use my fresh install of CS4 and my current install of CS4 on my laptop?
    Please help.
    PC specs: Intel Q9450 @ 3.6GHz (8 x 450FSB) / Abit IX38 Quad GT / 8Gb G.Skill @ 5-5-5-15 1000MHz / 2X 8600GT's (Core 700Mhz - Mem 760Mhz) / 2X Seagate 500GB (RAID 0) + 2X Seagate 1.5TB / Creative Labs X-Fi / PCP&C Silencer 750W / Lian Li V2000B Plus II / Vista Ultimate X64 SP1

    I think you need to call Adobe customer service.  Good luck.

  • PHOTOSHOP CS6 PLUGIN PROBLEM; I have PS CS6

    PHOTOSHOP CS6 PLUGIN PROBLEM; I have PS CS6 & a mac osx 10.7.5  I have downloaded the pluginhttps://sourceforge.net/projects/panotools/  I drag it to the applications folder  (applications/photoshop/plugins) and it shows up there, but it does not show up when I reopen photoshop, can anyone tell me if this is a valid plugin or what I am doing wrong?

    Thank you for the link, I don't see where the licensing is listed at all, I also don't see where it says it is for existing CS2 users only & the line install a special version that does not require activation -                                   
    doesn't scream it'd be a problem to load it especially since I already own a later version that I can't use the plugin on - …I don't find the site all that informative.  I appreciate all the answers & responses to my use of CS2 but I'd really just like to receive an answer to the original question of if the plugin works with it or not…if anyone has that answer I'd appreciate it.
    Is there a place I can purchase it?  I will gladly do so if I can get the plugin to work-that is my goal.

  • Can you help me with FontExplorer font activation problems?

    Anyone know how to solve a font activation problem I am having with FontExplorer 4.2? I am on a new mac with new fonts, I am using Maverick with Adobe CS6. With my new mac I bought the latest version of FontExporer Pro X 4.2. This program is having trouble with font activation in all my Adoble suite apps including Indesign. Here is what I am seeing:
    1. The font activates, but the Adobe app does not recognize that it is active. If I go back to Font Explorer and deactivate manually, then re-activate manually. The adobe app might then recognize it. Sometimes it still doesn't. But this does not stay permanently, as soon as I do a restart I have to go through this process again. I see this more often with the User system fonts, but a few times with my regular fonts.
    2. Other times, such as in Indesign, I go to open the file and the file stalls and doesn’t progress while it is trying to activate the fonts.
    3. Another time I have seen after an illustrator file is opened the fonts aren't recognized as being opened and the text goes blank on the page.
    4. In all adobe apps, if I go to use "replace font" on the missing fonts (even though they are turned on) the "replace font" menu only shows the basic system fonts, it won't show me the other fonts turned on.
    I have seen these issues with both formerly created files and fresh new files.
    I have tried the following based on feedback from Font Explorer staff:
    Refresh your Spotlight database
    1. Quit all applications other than FontExplorer X
    2. Choose Tools > Refresh Spotlight Database
    Clean your font caches
    1. Quit all applications other than FontExplorer X 2. Choose Tools > Clean Application Font Caches (check all available checkboxes)
    3. Choose Tools > Clean System Font Caches (requires restart)
    Still after trying this multiple times, the errors continue and even get more random.
    I have also tried this based on their feedback:
    go to FONTEXPLORER X PRO -> PREFERENCES -> ADVANCED and make sure that "Automatically deactivate fonts which have not been activated by the system" is NOT set to never.
    Then click on TOOLS and clean all font caches. Then reboot the system.
    The auto-activation is using a new Apple technology (called Core Text), which unfortunately does not work correctly with some of the Adobe and Quark applications when keeping the fonts permanently activated. We are currently working on an update, and the next version of FontExplorer X Pro will fix this issue.
    This has also not work. Can anyone help me?

    Here is the official work-around for this problem.
    1. Locate "FontExplorer X Pro.app" in Applications
    2. Right-click on "FontExplorer X Pro.app" and select "Show Package Contents"
    3. Navigate to /Contents/Helpers/
    4. Double-click "FontExplorerXLauncher-3.app" or right-click and "Open" to launch it manually. This is needed only once, afterwards the plugins will work normally.
    Please make sure you open the version with the "-3" suffix, the other one does not fix the problem.

  • DC Activation Problem in CBS

    Hello,
    I am facing DC Activation problems in CBS.
    - We have two DC utils and config. The config DC uses utils DC and everything is working fine locally
    - Today we are migrating these local projects in NWDI.
    - I created new DCs in NWDI and copied the SRC folder. Did all required steps for migration, built locally and it works fine.
    - I then checked in utils and activated the same in NWDI, its working fine.
    - I then defined the dependency from the active workspace and everything is still fine.
    - Now I checkin the src of config DC and build the same. Here the problem arises. The Build Fails
    - Checked SDN and can see lot of people facing this problem but there is no solution.
    Any pointers to solve this problem will be helpful
    Regards,
    Shubham
    Here is the problematic area in log:

    Problem Solved.
    I removed the utils DC from my client. Also deleted the folder from the workspace. After this I created the project from the Dev Config perspective again. I was surprised to see there is no component in my utils DC and thats why the problem was there.
    I again copied all the src folder in the workspace and refreshed the DC. Now it locked all the source in the activity. I checked it in and repeated the above excercise. This time all the source code was there.
    I deleted the dependency in the config dc and created again from active workspace(although now I realize it was not required) and checkedin and activated.
    Hurray!!! It got activated.

  • WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? Activation problem 194:100

    What the ihell is going on?
    I have been burdened with activation issues for weeks - see my previous thread. I have had no response here from Adobe about how to fix it. Please don't say this is a 'user to user' forum. It isn't a 'U2U' forum when Adobe state this is the first place we should look!
    Now, no CC program will run owing to something called 'Activation problem 194:100'.
    Yes, I have logged out. Yes, I have rebooted. Yes, I have deactivated 'more than 2 machines'. Why should I have to repeatedly click to 'deactivate 2 previous activations' when there has NEVER been more than one activation?
    Adobe not only make me look a laughing stock in the classroom but this constant issue that has been going on for weeks now subliminally tells students Adobe software is useless!
    When will I be able to use CC again? I am paying for it remember!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hello Rajshree,
    Welcome to Adobe Forum.
    CC has only EVER been activated on ONE PC.
    If you look at http://forums.adobe.com/message/6198690#6198690 you'll see (like many other users) I have to constantly sign in and reactivate. It is probably this that is causing the multiple activations.
    However, to reiterate, CC is only running on ONE computer. It has not at any time been activated on more than the same PC. One activation - one PC.
    So, the suggestion of waiting a few hours (if the prog won't activate / run) is less than adequate. Like everyone else, I pay to have it running 24 hours a day - every day.

  • Flash MX Professional 2004 Activation Problems

    I am having trouble activating Flash MX Professional 2004. I have had the product for many years, but it is asking again to be reactivated, probably because I have moved the vmWare virtual machine on which it is installed to a new host computer.
    I have learned that the old Macromedia activation servers are no longer available, and have tried using the information provided by http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/macromedia-legacy-activation-error.html. But that only activates me to a non-professional version. I need to use features in the Professional version.
    Is there a serial number available for Flash MX Professional 2004?

    OK, I have got my problem sorted.
    After a second call to UK customer service, I was e-mailed a serial number that they said was for Flash MX 2004 Professional. However, it didn't work with my version! My version is 7.2, and the original serial number of my product starts PFD700. The serial number given by Adobe is PFD800-00466-08280-86965. Maybe the 800 means its for a later version, don't know, but my version does not accept this as a valid serial number.
    A third call to try to get a PFD700 serial number got me a brick wall again, they insisted that was the only serial number for MX 2004 Pro they had. At this point I followed sinious's suggestion and asked to talk to a supervisor. They were on the phone, and I was promised a call back. I'm still waiting.
    So I hunted a bit harder with Google and eventually found a site that gave me a serial number. The use of that unlocked the Professional features of my version, and I'm up and running again.
    Thanks for your contributions guys, you've both helped. I agree with sinious's critism of moccamaximum, and wouldn't normally go to sites of dubious provenance for help. But after being exhausted by my efforts to get help from Adobe - who to be fair nearly got there in the end - I went hunting and found something that solved my problem. After all, Adobe themselves are publishing activation-free serial numbers.
    I've given the serial number I got from Adobe, it may help others who experience activation problems in the future.
    But I'll follow sinious's advice and not give out the serial number or details of the website I got it from. It wasn't very hard to find.

    If the phone was unlocked by anyone other than Apple or the carrier it was locked to (that is, unlocked by hacking) then it will become locked to the original carrier when you update it.

    Why do you need to check it if you can't access it?  If it is because you need to have it deactivated then contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations.
