Photoshop CS, lost "license configuration data"

Photoshop CS question. Has anyone ever suddenly lost their "license configuration data"?
I get this error when I start up Photoshop: "The license configuration data for Adobe Photoshop is no longer usable".
I click "OK" and it takes me to the activation screen with the serial number already entered. Activate it on line and I get an error so I go to phone activate... the guy I talk to says the serial number (the one that is automatically entered by my copy of Photoshop) is not valid. I've had this copy of Photoshop on my PC for about 5 years and it has always worked fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is that photoshop cs (photoshop 8)?
If so, then your running into the fact that adobe took the activation servers offline.
more info:
(even though it says cs2, it also applies to cs)

CS2 license config data not usable after upgrade to Tiger

When I upgraded to Tiger from 10.3.9, I did an archive and install. Now I can't run any CS2 apps...I get the error "The license configuration data for Adobe Creative Suite is no longer usable.", then it wants to activate.
Any thoughts?

Hi, Scott.
See "Troubleshoot activation problems (Acrobat 7.0, Adobe Creative Suite 2.0 on Mac OS X)."
FYI: I suggest whenever you have problems with third-party applications, the first place to start troubleshooting is with the application's documentation, then vendor's web site. Usually their sites have FAQs, lists of known bugs, or application-specific forums similar to these Discussions. Sometimes, unlike the Apple Discussions, the questions are even answered by employees of the vendor.
For example, in the case of your problem, the item above was found with one search of the Adobe Support knowledge base for "license configuration data" with product Photoshop.
Good luck!

Adobe Photoshop problem with license

I have bought Adobe Photoshop CS4 (box, license for 3 computers) in 2009. I've used it on two computers with activation, but one computer had formating, and second I've lost. I don't know how to 'unactivate' them now, and when I trying to activate product on my actual computer - it says that all license keys are in use. I have whole box and papers, even facture as a proof for purchase. What I should do?

Here on this forum we can not help you because where are not employees of Adobe. The best is to contact adobe and explain the problem:

I lost all my data after clicking F11

Hi everybody!
I have lost all my data when I clicked F11 and factory recovery was executed.
Is there any way to return back the data? They are very important.
They were all my data, very important including all data from university - for more than 4 years.
Please help me. I need an urgent help. The operating system is Windows Vista Business Edition - it is licensed.
Best Regards,
Manuel

Hi Manuel,
Unfortunately I have bad news for you.
F11 invokes the Recovery Manager, where you have a number of options. The following two options are under the I need help immediately section.
Microsoft System Restore is a nondestructive process. If you make a mistake you can roll your system back to a restore point on a date that works for you.
System recovery is, on the other hand, a destructive process which deletes all data. Before the process begins it does warn you.
You may be able to recover your data by contracting a data recovery company. It will be quite expensive and without a guarantee of success.
Did you not have your university data backed up on an external drive?

Yosemite update has lost all my data

Last night I let Yosemite do an update. Im now on version 10.10.2. I have now lost ALL my data for every program on my mac book pro. No Email info at all, no photoshop data, no lightroom data from the last 17 years of photographic work.
To say I am disappointed with Apple is an understatment as I run a small business from home and rely on my Mac as I have done over the last 20 year. Apple no longer seen to give stuff about the customer and only seem interested in money. If I wanted very poor service I would have bought a PC.
anyone at APPLE read these forums as they certainly d

all of my data disappeared. All of the applications were still there but all of the keys had gone, all the settings had gone. I phoned Apple and sat in the que for 45 mins listening to music but eventually got through and have restored to my original settings from a back up. Thats another few hours of my life I won't get back..... everything now works except photoshop ffs! If u can fix that then your a better man than me.... Error 150:30.
completely disillusioned with apple theses days but appreciate any help possible

The hard disc of my laptop has crashed and i lost all the data. Now I want to take back up of my I phone and transfer contacts , messages and music back into my laptop , how can I do that. Pl help

The hard disc of my laptop has crashed and i lost all the data. Now I want to take back up of my I phone and transfer contacts , messages and music etc back into my laptop , how can I do that. Also let me know how I can transfer the contacts into Windows contacts from I phone. Pl help

Your content will only be where you put it. It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone: File>Device>Transfer purchases.
You can import your pics taken with the iphone as you would with any digital camera.
You can e-mail the other pics to yourself, they will never be of the original quality.
You can out a unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. You should get the option to merge the data when you sync.

Moving LR5 catalog (Irdata & Ircat) to a new hard drive and photos. Lost all meta data - How do I move meta data along with catalog?

I moved LR5 catalog (Irdata & Ircat) to a new hard drive and photos. Lost all meta data - How do I move meta data along with catalog?
The meta data for each image is missing.
I have over 2,000 images. I don't want to go back through each image and add meta data.
Is there some way to move everything?

No, do not re-import your images. I assume you can see the thumbnails in the library module, just cannot access the full images, right? If this is the case there should be an exclamation mark in the top right corner of every one of your pictures and you only have to tell LR where the images are now.
Click the exclamation mark of one of the images and a dialog window should pop-up, telling you that LR cannot find the file, but with an option to locate it. Press "Locate" and navigate to the folder on your new HD where the file is. If in the new external HD you kept the same folder structure that you had on the internal disk, LR will be able to find all your images and re-link them to the database without further intervention.

Client copy with configuration data in R/3. Is there any effect on EBP sys

Hi all,
We are using classic scenario. Our client is reorganizing their Org structure for that we need to do client copy with only configuration data.
In this scenario we are uploading the master and transactional data through ALE in order to retain the same number ranges and the same data in EBP system.
My doubt is when we do config steps Define logical system and assign the logical system to the client and define Idoc message types etc... Is it necessary to run BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_ALL job. If yes the same data like Plant and storage location and all master data will override the existing data or not. And what about the open Purchase orders and open goods receipts.
Can you please reply immediately. It is very urgent.
Thanks in advance

PI 7.3 - AEX "unable to read configuration data" and login problems

Hello Friends,
after installation of AEX, i'm facing some problems.
1.I'm not able to login with any user, i created during installation wizard. So i cannot check any user in NWA -> User Administration.
2.Once more, while opening http://<host>:<port>/rep or http://<host>:<port>/dir, i get the following error message.
Can somebody help me?
I think, there is a problem with the users, which have been created during installation. How can i check this? Is there any chance?
Second, if i'm able to login, i have to import the exchange profile again. This should solve the problem. Or is this wrong?

The boot configuration data for your Pc is missing or contains errors: error code 0x000014c

Hello,
See if any body may help here... I get this blue screen:
RECOVERY
Your PC needs to be repaired:
The Boot Configuration Data for your PC is missing or contains errors.
file:\\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD
Error code: 0xc000014c
You'll need to use the recovery tools on your installation media. If you don't have any installation media (like a a disc or USB device), contact your system administrator or PC manufacturer.
Press Esc for UEFI Firmware Settings
First I was able to get into the option 11 and run the whole factory reset, i was so happy because I tought it will be easy.. but then after I did the factory reset.. I keep getting this blue screen. if I press ESC I get into this next screen:
F1 System Information
F2 System Diagnostics
F9 Boot Device Options
F10 BIOS Setup
F11 System Recovery
ENTER - Continue Startup.
this is what happen when I click any of this options:
F1 I get into the System Information with no problems, then I click <ESC> to continue and get back to the last screen... then I press F2 and super, I am able to run Memory Test and Hard Drive Check 100% with no problems in any of those, after I am done with my teste I press exit and I am back to the F1,F2, ETC menu... now I want to try F9, F10 or F11. bummer.. in this 3 options I get back to the blue screen described at the beggining of this post. (I already connect a USB with an boot loader, which works perfectly)
so I can't do anything, nothing at all!! crazzines.
So what I did to check why I can't get into the BIOS or at least to boot from my USB... I removed the botton cover of my laptop and removed the hard drive and that's how then I was or I am able to Log into the BIOS, - I did the changes to boot first from the USB and then from the HD and this is how I was able to boot from the USB - BUT If I connect back the Hard drive, I am not able to get into the BIOS or boot from the USB - so basically I am stuck in this blue screen and I can't boot from a USB if I have the HD connected.. I can't use any option.. no BIOS, nothing.. only if again, i disconnect the HD.
This is an:
HP ENVY TS Sleekbook 4
PRODUCT NUMBER D1A99UA#ABA
SYSTEM BOARD ID: 1894
Bios F.25
**** I though that by updating the BIOS I may be able to get help, nothing. What I did is, I removed the HD and then and boot from the USB and with a DOS command propmt I excecuted the Bios Update from F.21 to f.25... but again, when I installed the hard drive back, BUMMER, nothing I can't do nothing but this silly blue screen.
Any idea of what should I do?
Thanks in advance.
This question was solved.

If you can't access BIOS with the hard disk connected, you certainly won't be able to boot to the usb recovery flashdrive. That is indicative of a failed hard disk.
Install a new hard disk and then boot to the recovery flashdrive.

Looks like you restored your backup file to her phone. If you didn't back up your wife's phone first, then the data is gone, sorry.

My macbook pro recently got swiped and I lost all my data, problem is, just before it was swiped I set up my new iphone 5 which transferred all my photos and music over which is no longer on the computer. What will happen to my phone if I plug it in?

I never used icloud before so there is no data to back up from. I just spoke to the apple store and they said that if I do plug it in, all the data will be swiped....is there a program I can use to transfer my data from my phone to computer without loosing it all ???
