Photoshop CS4 - Licensing Error 150:30

I have a MacBook with the OS X Maverick Operating System and have had no prior issues using my Photoshop CS4. My computer recently crashed and had to have my operating system re-installed. I tried to open up Photoshop today and this window popped up: "Licensing for this product has stopped working". I tried restarting the computer like the window mentioned and that did nothing. I also tried the solutions listed on the Adobe website for the Error: 150:30 and nothing has worked. My main problem is I cannot finish the "solutions" because I cannot locate the folder "FlexNet" or "FlexNet Licensing" or anything of that nature that is referred to in the solutions.

The Licensing repair tool does work. OSX 10.7 and above:
Download and open LicenseRecovery111.dmg on your Desktop
Open Terminal and type sudo and leave a space. <do not press "Enter" yet>.
Open the License Folder on the opened LicenseRecovery111.dmg and drag
"LicenseRecover.py" file into the Terminal Window.
The sudo command and path to the .py file should look like the screenshot below.
Press Enter to begin
Type in your password, but know that you will not see dots or asterisks as you type.
Press Enter again, let the script run and finish. You should be able to run Photoshop now.
(If this answer solves it, mark it as "correct" or get back to me if it doesn't.)

  • Photoshop CS4 Licensing error

    I'm using my Photoshop CS4 for a long time now but on Tuesday it suddenly crashed saying some Licensing error occured and I have to restart my computer to solve the problem. The restart didn't help. I've read, that there is a License Repair Tool, so firstly I've downloaded that one, trying to repair the product. Nothing has changed. The next step was to reinstall the whole product. I also had some difficulties to remove it, because the uninstaller didn't want to start. After removing it with the Creative Suite cleaning tool and removing the nessecary files the reinstalled progmam showed the same message. Also tried to remove the latest Windows updates installed that day without success. Is there any solution for my problem? I have a CS5 upgrade also installed and it's working, but I prefer the CS4 for some reasons.

    I've cleand out, but it just showed me another error message (I think the error 6: configuration error) with both the CS4 and the CS5. So I removed all of them, deleted all Adobe files related to CS4 or CS5 and installed them again. The message is the same (Error 150:30), when I start the CS4, but the CS5 works fine. (I've tried it on another computer and it's working there) How can I make sure the service is running correctly or where can I start it manually?

  • Photoshop CS4 extended Error 150:30

    I have reinstalled Photoshop CS4 extended on my new hard disk as it was replaced by apple, and it now won't open, showing Error 150:30. What do i do?

  • Can't start my old Photoshop CS4. Error:150:30 Licensing for this product has stopped working

    I can't use my PS CS4 because it seems the licensing has stopped working. I restarted the Mac few times but this error seems to persist.

    It's an extremely common error with CS4. It means the licensing is broken. For people not really familiar with Terminal, my best answer is to suggest a fresh install from your discs to fix this. You will have to reapply all updates.
    Since the Help > Update part is not working well, download and install your updates (Photoshop, Bridge, Adobe Camera Raw) from here Product updates.
    Usually this happens when Photoshop is moved from another computer, from a backup like Time Machine, or even as OSX upgrade to Yosemite.

  • Dreamweaver CS4 keeps showing a licensing error 150:30. Any ideas?

    I am running Dreamweaver CS4 on a MacBook Pro. After a Mac OSX update earlier today Dreamweaver keeps showing a licensing error 150:30 and the only solution on line is not suitable for OS 10.9.5. Any ideas?

    The terminal app option worked but after a restart I got the error message again. It worked a second time but then another restart brought me back to the beginnin. Have repaired permissions and tried the other potential solutions. I only use DW CS4 once in a while but I'd love a permanent solution.

  • Photoshop CS4:Fatal error

    This pops up when I open my Photoshop CS4:
    Fatal error - missing component: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Version Cue CS4/Client/4.0.0/VersionCue.framework.
    Any ideas on what i can do? happens when I open a project.
    Thanks

    Ok, after reading tons of threads trying to get a simple answer here are the main points:
    You do not need to reinstall anything.
    Locate a backup , Time Machine or anyplace where you may have a backup of your Adobe Suite Install.
    In both Locations( Hard Drive and Backup) Navigate to: Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support > Adobe > Adobe Version Cue CS4 > Client
    Once there you will see your problem Adobe is looking for  folder named 4.0.0 and you have 4.0.1
    Fix: Find the backup and copy over folder named "4.0.0" , Problem solved!
    Open up Adobe Photoshop CS4 and problem should be fixed.
    Observations:
    Upon inspecting folder 4.0.1, I did notice there were exactly 5 (.framework) files just like in folder 4.0.0 with the exception of 4.0.0 having a "Dictionaries" folder. where 4.0.1 has this folder missing. I am not sure how important this particular folder may be, However if by any chance you do not have a backup It might be possible to just change the 4.0.1 folders name to 4.0.0. and this just might work, In theory that is . Good Luck!

  • Photoshop keeps crashing error 150:30 please help

    I have photoshop CS4 and CS5 that I got through doing an associates degree program. They've worked fine in the past, but recently they've started giving me a message when I try to use them that the licensing has stopped working and the error is 150:30. I don't understand why it's doing that because I did everything right when I installed them. And they seem to be okay when I restart my computer, but it's like I have to open them as soon as I start my computer or they won't work later and I can't keep restarting my computer. If anyone knows what's going on, please let me know how I can fix this.

    I'm working on the same sort of problem...
    Some people say their CS4 still works on 10.10, so I'm trying to make it work.
    Apparently, migrating/restoring from a backup is something adobe doesn't like, so it either gets scrambled or deauthorizes your computer.
    Most people say to try this:
    Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Mac OS
    I'm honestly more comfortable with redownloading, so I'm trying that first. So far, so good since I had my serial number.
    Like Gener7 said:
    Uninstall, check Remove Preferences
    Do a Repair Permissions from Disk Utility
    Reinstall from discs, and if you do not have them, download from here:
    Download CS4 products
    (Updates here:)
    Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh
    Or try what they suggest here:
    150:30
    Oh, and make sure everything's updated.
    Hope that helps!

  • Photoshop CS4 "licensing for product has stopped working" after restoring backup to new laptop

    I purchased a new macbook pro running os x 10.9.3 and restored from a Time Capsule backup from my older laptop also running the same OS version.  (Migration assistant was not working and this was Apple's recommendation).  Now Photoshop CS 4 gives the following error "150:30 licensing for this product has stopped working". I've tried the Adobe recommended steps i found on their site short or reinstalling.
    So my question is "what's the phone number for adobe support?"

    800-833-6687  Monday—Friday, 5am—7pm PT
    I have had this same problem before. The problem is that restoring from backup or migrating Photoshop CS4 breaks the licensing.
    You normally get a 150:30 error.
    Two ways to fix this:
    10.7 and above: Run the python script in Terminal to repair this, or reinstall CS4 from your disks.
    If you need help on this let me know.

  • PhotoShop CS4 Fatal Error on Mac

    Hi,  Can anyone help with Photoshop CS4 issue on Mac OS 10.6.8?
    Getting— 'Fatal Error' missing component/library/applications/adobe version cue CS4/client4.0.0/version cue.framework  —  message when I try to open a file
    Before this, with the help of Gene7 i was able to re-activate with license recovery. Worked until I tried to open a file. Updates seem current...
    Thank you.
    Monte

    That library is missing. You need to reinstall the application (and updates) to replace the missing files.
    Most likely this is because you used Apple's "migration" tool, which doesn't copy all support files needed by applications.

  • License error 150:30 Downloaded license recovery, the app doesn't response. Now what?

    Recently had to recover mac from Time Machine … all good.
    Now can't start Photoshop Elements 8.0. Receiving message:
    "Licensing for this product has stopped working. ….. Error 150:30"
    Successfully downloaded License Recovery app package from Adobe website. When I launch the License Recovery app nothing happens and it is not responding.
    Unsure what to do to resolve this.

    Migrating Adobe applications from one system to another does not work.  You need to install using installation files.  If you do not have access to the disks then you might be able to download thru the following page (depends what you need).
    Download and Installation Help -
    https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html
    You will need the serial number from the disk packaging to activate the installed files.  You might be able to find this thru your Adobe account online if you registered the software previously.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS4  runnig error - cant  load files

    hi,
    ive first time installed adobe cs software in my pc. i have never used this software before nor its previous version.
    when i try to run adobe photoshop cs4 - it gives me error after loading for few things that "A required application library failed to load and the product cannot continue, please re-install the application"
    ive re installed the application several times but that same error continues.
    any help will b welcomed
    thank you

    OK. This error drove me nuts and I have seen a thousand different "solutions" posted on various forums (none of which actually worked), but I think I found the magic bullet for this problem. This appears to be a result of corrupted/missing language pack files. Here's what I did to resolve it once and for all!
    You should already have a folder somewhere with the contents/Setup.exe for CS4 Design Premium
    Download the trial version of Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended
    Unpack the contents to a folder/directory somewhere on your PC
    You will NOT be installing the Photoshop CS4 Extended application - only copying some files.
    Copy the "extensions" folder from Photoshop CS4 Extended, that you just downloaded to your CS4 Design Premium folder (there should be an "extensions" folder already there as well)
    Select yes if prompted to replace existing files/folders.
    Double-click the Setup.exe in your CS4 Design Premium directory and re-start the installation of Photoshop from there.
    Problem should be solved.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS4 Installation Error

    I'm new to this site and my computer has Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1.
    After I installed Photoshop CS4 trial, it failed to install Photoshop, but the rest were successful. I went to get more information and this is the message:

    If there is a topic similar to this one, then I shouldn't be here!

    I have been using Adobe Photoshop CS4 for a few months now without any problems or errors.
    But last week.. i had a virus problem and decided to do a Clean Installation of my Operating System.
    I was not too worried because I have done this millions of times already... and know the process like the back of my hand.
    Well.. after the clean installation was complete, i started to load my applications.
    To my surprise.. Adobe Photoshop CS4 would not install. Nor would Adobe Illustrator CS4.
    It would get to the screen "Adobe is beginig the installation process" and would stall ..
    At first... i thought it would eventually complete on it's own.. but after a few attempts and hours of the same screen with no progress.. it was obvious Adobe was no longer responding at that stage.
    I searched high and low, night and day, over a few days trying to figure out the problem.
    I was trouble-shooting everything.
    In the middle of trouble-shooting, i took a break to surf the Net and see if i could find any suggestions when i ran into this Forum.
    Someone mentioned disabling your Internet Security & Windows Defender.. and i thought.. no way.. it can't be that easy.
    Well.. what do you know.. it was my Internet Security (Kaspersky Internet Security 2010)
    After disabling Kaspersky Internet Security 2010, Adobe flew right pass the part where it was stalling, and finished installation without incident.
    Adobe Illustrator CS4 also installed without any problems ...
    I just wanted to share my experience as i know how frustrating it can be when software refuses to install.
    Good Luck to everyone.. be patient.. trial & error. .. and im sure you'll figure it out.

    @ ApologetX
    I had a similar problem when i extracted the contents of my Adobe DVD and made an ISO file out of it so i would no longer need the DVD for installation.
    But what i realized is that.. Adobe will not install if it's installed from the ISO.. and during installation.. an error would pop up.. and ask for the DVD
    You probably have done something similar.
    Here's what i did to fix:
    - Extract the contents of Adobe Photoshop CS4 into a Folder
    - and install from that ..
    After i extracted the contents and installed from "setup.exe" .. the installation completed without error ..
    DVD
    - If you're having problems from the DVD .. then try to extract the Contents of the DVD on to your Desktop..
    and install from there ..
    Trial Installer
    - As for the Trial you are referring to .. im not familiar with it ..
    but try to extract the contents of it to your Desktop .. and go from there ..
    Good Luck
