Photoshop elements 8 wont start error code 150:30

can someone help

Okay, that's good. Go to your username>library>preferences and delete everything you can find pertaining to PSE, especially:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements <  version number > paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements < version number > settings
and any lockfiles with the same names.
That library is hidden in mavericks. To see it click the Go menu in the Finder and hold down the Option key and it will appear below the little house for your user account. While you're in there, go to the Saved Application States folder and delete anything for PSE.

    I have photoshop elements 3.0 and use it on a Mac system 10.9.5.
    Do you mean Elements 3.0 or Elements 13.0?
    As Barbara says, 3.0 will not install or run on OS X 10.9.

  • Got a new computer,  now adobe photoshop elements is having licensing issues. error code 150:30

    Thats pretty much the jist of it. Im no computer wiz and all of the instructions for how to solve this problem are over my head. I don't know how to enter my start up library to delete certain files. Please help.

    photoshop elements 8 - came with my wacom tablet back in 2011. And My new computer has os X yosemite - it was working on my macbook which had recently updated to OS X, but Im receiving error code 150:30 licensing has stopped working messages. I found a troubleshooting list on adobe help that was asking me to delete files in my start up library. It was very confusing. Im lost. I just want it to work again.

    Hi, I got my Mac in 2009 with photoshop elements on it - it's recently been wiped, however before the process we put Photoshop onto a hard drive, we then copied it back over and it no longer works, I'm getting error code 150:30 and I'm being asked for a password... any ideas how to get it working again?

    You can never, never migrate an installed copy of PSE. It's just too complex and you can't get to all the bits and bobs.
    First you will have to download and run this:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    which will not seem to do anything, but is necessary to break the links within PSE so that you can pitch the bits manually. Then you will have to go around, not only to applications, but also to your username>library>preferences and most importantly to the library at the top level of your hard drive>application support>adobe, and remove everything you can find. Spotlight will not help with this kind of search, so don't try that.
    Then you can install PSE from scratch.

  • I re-installed my Mac OS, but now Elements won't open. Licensing stopped working. Error code 150:30

    I re-installed my Mac OS, but now Elements won't open. Licensing stopped working. Error code 150:30.
    This is Photoshop Elements 8, and I have the original disc with serial number so I can re-install that.
    The probelm is I'd need to de-cactivate the serial number before un-installing, and I need to open the programme to do that.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Okay, I've found that this is a recognised problem.

    Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Mac OS
    and all the solutions tell me to find the folder FlexNet Publisher in my library.
    Problem is FlexNet Publisher doesn't seem to exist there. Can't find it anywhere on my hard drive.
    Gettting down to the end of that page gives me the following info....
    The FlexNet folders and files required to run Adobe applications can become corrupted or have permission problems if moved from one machine to another. They can also be damaged through a Time Machine system restore. FlexNet service licensing failures cannot be resolved by reinstalling the application or by using the Adobe CS5 Cleaner Tool. If permissions issues prevent the FlexNet licensing service from launching, accessing data, or communicating with Adobe processes, a licensing failure occurs.
    Well it looks like backing everything up using Time Machine may have caused all this problem. Anyone know how to get Flexnet Publisher back?

  • How do I fix error code 150:30.  "photoshop license stopped working"????

    All of the sudden when I was trying to open AI I got a screen with "Illustrator Licensing for this product has stopped working",  and error code: 150:30 how do I fix this?
    I am on MAC OS X 10.9.4 and Illustrator and Photoshop CS4.
    Thank you for your help!

    This is the one step I did not take as I am a bit unsure of where to find the start up disk
    On your startup disk, locate and delete the following folder: 
    [hard drive]/Library/Application Support/FlexNet Publisher/
    Important: The path above points to the Library folder at the root of your startup disk, not the Library folder in your user home folder.

  • Why  will photoshop not open after loading it to new iMac computer from an external hard drive and I get this message: Licensing for this product has stopped working:error code: 150:30

    Why will Photoshop CS4 not open after loading to new iMac from an external hard drive and I get this message: Licensing for this product has stopped working:error code: 150:30

    A Photoshop installation is tied to the machine it was installed on. Moving it to or from a hard drive breaks the licensing.
    The answer is easy: Reinstall CS4 from your disc. and apply all updates.

    Reinstall the software properly and fix the permissions on your Library folder. Apple keep messing with this with every update...

    1. When I try to edit my photos in Elements 8 I get the error code 150:30. How can I fix the editor?  Elements Organizer works.
    2. If I get the latest Elements (11?), will it overide Elements 8 and solve the problem that way?

    Have you updated your iTunes on your computer? WIth a device running iOS7, you need iTunes 11.
    When you removed iTUnes, did you see something named 'apple mobile device support' or something like it? (The exact name varies from operating system to operating system). If you see that, uninstall it too. That's the drivers for your iPhone and they should self-install when you plug your device in.
    If all that is fine, have you checked your cable and USB port? a malfunctioning cable can keep you from syncing.
