Photoshop CS4 licensing problems

We are a secondary school which purchased Adobe Photoshop CS4 back in 2010 with 10 licences, from a company called Ramesys. They provided us with the licence keys which worked perfectly fine. However, we have recently had to update the PCs and although we 'deactivated' the licence before wiping the PC, we are unable to get CS4 licenced again. We have put a 64-bit Windows 7 image on the PCs.
When we try to enter the licence key, we get a red cross automatically come up and clicking next warns you that 'The serial number you entered is not valid. Click OK to retry entering the serial number.' However, we know that we are definitely putting in the correct number. We have tried both entering manually and cutting and pasting from the email we had. Neither work and give us the same message.
We called Adobe - they are less than helpful. They told us that the serial number we have is certainly correct but cannot help any further and suggested we try these forums?!
We tried to contact Ramesys, but it seems that have been taken over by Captita. Not sure if it's worth pursuing this with them or not?
Is there anything that we are doing wrong, that would prevent this from activating? We only have the time it takes the trial version to run out! These computers are being used in our Art department and the pupils use CS4 almost every day. We really need to get the software activated as soon as possible. Any help would be much appreciated.
Kind regards

I find it inappropriate that the company would send you to a user to user help forum to try to resolve licensing issues. Neither does any user here have access to the licensing database, nor do we deal with commercial license questions much here.
But I guess I can see their logic: They verified that your serial numbers are correct, so they're thinking something's wrong with the computer systems or installations of Photoshop.
I'm sure you've double-checked all of this, but since they've sent you here the basic questions need to be asked...
Where did you get the Photoshop image you installed (then and now)?
And it IS Photoshop CS4, right?
Have you tried installing it from a download directly from Adobe?
Do your computers reach the internet directly?
Are you entering the full 20 digit serial number, with 5 fields of 4 digits?
You do have different serial numbers for each machine, right?
Have you tried a clean uninstall and reinstall (I know this is a stretch)?
Thing is, I believe an immediate red X (is it immediate?) implies that the software feels the basic format of the serial number is wrong. So the software doesn't match the serial number somehow.
I'm not sure, beyond asking you to verify your most basic things, that we can help you much more than this here on the forum.

Photoshop CS4 graphics problem solved in Windows 7 -64 bit

I recently spent several days tracking down why i was getting odd graphical behaviour in CS4.
Often, while using the polygon lasoo tool andother tools, the screen woud jump and the selection would stop in mid-stream.
I also noticed other odd behaviors.
the solution was to turn of the AERO effects by right clicking on the desktop, choosing personalize and choosing "classical theme".
Prior to this problem, when I started the latest premiere pro, I couldn't access the tabs in the choose settings fields. After talking to tech support, we found that I had set my default font size for Windows 7 to 125% of normal, so i could see the high res screen better. Resetting it to 100% by right clicking the desktop choosing settings, advanced, cleared up the problem.
I hope this helps other users avoid similar headaches.

Thanks for posting the information.

64 Bit Photoshop CS4 running on 64 Bit WIndows 7 - does it work for anyone?

Hi,
Is anyone running 64 BI Photoshop CS4 running on 64 Bit WIndows 7 without any problems? Mine is totally unusable due to wild erratic brushes (clone, healing, eraser and more). I have had zero success with Adobe. Two weeks after posting a support incident, they finally responded with an answer that had absoutley nothing to do with my support ticket. Unbelievable. SO maybe I'll get another response in 2 more weeks.
I have another thread that explains my problems, but that is not the purpose of this post. For this I am interested in what configurations people are using with 64 bit CS4 and 64 bit Windows 7, especially, what graphics cards are you using in the situations where there are no problems. I will even buy new graphics cards, because I have to. I cannot work as is.
Is anyone using dual graphics cards successfully with 64 bit Win 7 and 64 bit CS4. if so, what cards?
Thanks

PS CS4 does not support dual cards (or dual GPU cards) so the other card in the case is not being used.
Set up is simple:
M4A79T delux MB
8 gigs of corsair dominator ram timings 8,8,8,24 2T CMD4GX3M2B1600C8
AMD 965 Quad 140 watt
ATI 5870 with 9.11 drivers
PS CS4 Extended 11.0.1 update
Simple USB keyboard
MS Comfort Optical 3000 mouse
Windows 7 professional 64 bit plus updates. Aero turned on.

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?

Adobe Photoshop CS4 has Stopped Working on Windows 7

Hey guys and girls. I recently got a new computer running Windows 7 64bit. I still have good ol photoshop cs4 and wanted to use it on this new computer. The install process was completed and as I started the program, I get the "Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working" box. I've looked through some forums, and a lot of them mention the wacom tablet issue, which is not the issue since I've yet to install the drivers for my tablet. Has anyone come across this problem at all? This is what shows up when I get that error box.
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\WERCA9F.tmp.WERInternalMetadata.xml
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\WERE1B8.tmp.appcompat.txt
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\WERE246.tmp.mdmp
Please help, thanks in advance

The first thing that I would do is insure that you have the latest video driver installed (but do keep any older ones, just in case you must roll-back - newest is not always the best).
If that does not help, then open Even Viewer, and check for all warning, or error messages in System and Application tabs, for the time that PS crashed. If you find any with links, follow those links - be patient, as some might take a few moments to send data to MS, and then for MS to process it, to open the proper page for that link plus the data gathered. This ARTICLE goes into a bit more detail, and I do not think that it is too Adobe Premiere-centric.
Good luck,

Adobe Photoshop CS4 (x64) problem on Windows7

Hi, everyone. I have a problem with Photoshop CS4 (x64) running on Windows7 (x64). When I try to launch x64 version I get message "Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." It was working fine before and only today it have broken. By the way, Photoshop CS4 (x86) works perfect, I can't launch only x64 version. Have you any idea how to solve this problem?
(re-installing Photoshop don't fix it)

Photoshop CS4 Experience, Problems & Questions

Hi all,
i just installed my Production Suite Premium on the following System (fresh install, clean System, no other versions of Photoshop):
Intel E8500 Dualcore
Nvidia Geforce 9800 GX2 (Driver Version 178.24)
3 GB RAM
Windows XP Professionel SP3
Photoshop has its own Scratchdisk assigned with at least 50 GB free Space.
I know that the 9800 GX2 is considered to be a "Gaming-Card" but as a freelance artist i work for the game-industry on many occasions and I need a decent gaming hardware to test what I am working on. As far as I know, the card meets all requirements for CS4 and Nvidia tells me, that their GPU's are perfect for CS4. (wasn't a problem with any version before, I use Photoshop AND Nvidia-Cards since Photoshop 4)
Here are the things that bug me:
- Photoshop disables the OpenGL Features on random occasions, stating, that it has encountered a problem. This happens either in Two GPU-Mode or One-GPU-Mode.
There's no obvious reason for any errormessage, because IF Open GL is activated it seems to work pretty good, zooming and rotating works quite well and fast. I noticed, that the problem happens either after saving my file or when i open photoshop.
- Photoshop crashed on several occasions mostly concerning heavy transforming of multiple layers. It simply didn't respond anymore in the midst of the transormation-process.
My guess is, that this is also linked to the GPU/Driver. System-Memory is checked, GPU works like a charm in all other applications. CS3 has not once crashed in one year, so i guess it has to do with the changes made in CS4.
Strange thing is, that even with open GL deactivated, the above written problems occur. I would have thought, that with OpenGL dectivated, Photoshop would somehow become kind of CS3 again, but it seems, there had been to much changes to simply disconnect photoshop from it's new OpenGL interface.
Apart from these two Problems, Photoshop CS4 is doing ok. It feels kind of sluggish compared to older versions, but that might also change with some new drivers.
Sad thing is, that the rotate canvas feature and the extended moverange for images, the main reasons why i upgraded to CS4, are only working with
OpenGL activated. I really hope there will be a fix in the near future.
There are other questions concerning PS CS4's usability:
- The Scale-Brush Feature uses alt + right mouse buttons, what seems kind of strange when using a stylus (Even more when using a stylus without buttons like the wacom layout-marker).
I would prefer another combination of keyboard shortcuts plus stylus movement ctrl + alt for example. so far i have not found a way to remap the keys. Am i missing something? Or is this impossible?
- Is there a way to get window behavior back the way it was in CS3? The new way of handling windows is ok, but i liked the old one better. If i disable "floating windows docking" there's no way to maximize a window INSIDE the photoshop workspace. The maximize button on top of every window is right now completely useless because it maximizes the window AND gets rid of all the menus and palettes. I don't see why i want to do that.
That's it. I hope this is useful either for the guys at adobe or for other users. Every new Photoshop-Version has had its problems, i hope that these will just be dealt with like the ones before.
All the best,
Pickman

Photoshop CS4 does cause crashes. I can vouch for that too. When it happens, the first instinct is almost always to assume that something is wrong with the computer and start from there. Comments to this effect are prominent in many threads. It is also Adobe's prevalent approach. So people experiencing these problems will tend not to post on these forums. Statements like 'because there are only a few posts, a significant number of people are not experiencing [these] problems' are therefore unfounded. There simply has not been time yet for people to resolve potential hardware/system problems.
In my case, I started experiencing unexplained crashed with CS3 in July (see below) but it was only when Adobe admitted that they could be partly to blame that I posted my experiences (elsewhere) on this forum.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, I have installed Photoshop CS4 on a newly reformatted HDD containing a fresh clean installation of Windows XP/SP3, fully patched, with everything working hunky dory, and no legacy installations of Photoshop or other CS software to worry about. All the same PS CS4 keeps crashing. The symptoms are unexplained total freeze ups occurring at random. I may get several hours use, sometimes a lot less, before I am forced to reboot and start all over again. Certainly the ability to do any useful work is severely compromised, and yes, the first inclination is to blame the hardware or system installation.
The thing is I had been chasing a similar, probably related, problem with CS3 (possibly caused by cloning my system drive, see http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b6bd8d/ ) while Photoshop was still activated, so I have had several months head start over anyone who may now be experiencing similar problems with CS4. As a result, Dell, whose support has been great throughout, have replaced just about every component under the hood of my PC, certainly everything that could be causing a problem. (GPU, CPU, memory, MB, PSU, disk controller, disk cables...). As a result, I am running a virtually brand new computer. Hardware and system problems have been all but eliminated. I have all the latest drivers for everything. It is virtually a brand new computer!
Yet PS/CS4 keeps crashing for no reason that can be established. Adobe have given me lots of homework to do to try to find out what affects it or remedies there are. It is all very tedious, but so far, nothing...
I am coming to the conclusion that there must be something intrinsically wrong with PS/CS4 that makes it incompatible with some systems and software installations, but not necessarily because of any fault with the latter. I have to say that, after initially trying to push me away, Adobe are being very helpful and clearly want (need?) to get to the bottom of this. The trouble is that when the system locks up, it is completely and utterly paralysed, so any diagnostic and error reporting systems are inoperative. This suggests something beneath or beyond Windows, and, if it is not hardware, this points the finger of blame squarely at the activation software, which uses rootkit technology. (Would this be the same on a Mac, I wonder?)
For the record, my system is a Dell Precision 370 desktop with Dell/Phoenix BIOS A08, 3.2GHz Pentium 4 CPU, Intel 925X chipset, 2MB ECC SDRAM, Nvidia Quadro FX3450 graphics, 2x Seagate 146MB Cheetah 5.5k disks (SCSI) in non-RAID configuration. From the limited experience I have had, it seems perfectly capable of running the software (apart from when it crashes, of course.)

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 SDK and 64-bit Windows

Will there be an SDK for 64-bit Windows or do we just use the CS3 SDK and compile plug-ins in x64 mode?
Does CS4 support both 32-bit plug-ins and 64-bit plug-ins when the 64-bit version of Photoshop is installed?

Well, now that Photoshop CS4 has released, we have some answers. Yes, there is an SDK at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/photoshop/sdk/. Yes, both 32-bit and 64-bit environments are supported on Vista-64. This is done by installing 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Photoshop.
Nicely done!

Photoshop CS4 install problem

I`m running Windows Vista, AMD Turion X2 64bit, 4GB RAM, 320GB HDD. Downloaded the installer from the website, placed it in C:\Temp and tried to install.
When the installation begins it shows the "Checking System Profile" window, when the progress bar is near the end an error message appears saying "Command line option syntax error. Type Command /? for Help.". I click the OK button and the installer gets stuck at the "Checking System Profile" window.
I've tried common procedures for this such as placing the installer in C:\Temp and changing %TEMP% and %TMP% to C:\Temp. And yes, the installer is being run as administrator.

Here's a solution that worked for me:
Download and install the English version of Photoshop CS4 (The file name has a _CL1 extension.) The errors will still be there. Details show that certain components did not load.
Then download the FRENCH language version -- the one with the _CL4 extension. (I chose French because I could have worked with the program in French if I had to.)
Now open the French installer and REinstall Photoshop. The installer will just show the components that were missing from the English language version installation, so just go ahead and install ONLY those components.
and Voila! You get a working version of Photoshop CS4 64 bit version IN ENGLISH! The French installer only added the missing components which, apparently, had nothing to do with the interface language.
