Photoshop Elements not Opening. Error 150:30

After not using Photshop Elements on my MacBook Air for about 8 months, I tried to open it without success. I get the message "Licensing for this product has stopped Working," with an Error Code 150:30. Rebooting doesn't help at all. As an added burden, my Safari has stopped working, so when I go to the Adobe web page for suggestions, some of the things I click on take me to Safari rather than my current substitute (Firefox).

    This is more of a Photoshop question than a Mac question. I typed the error into Google and there seems to be multiple threads about it in the Adobe forums. Here is one:

  • Photoshop Elements 8 shows error 150:30 in Mac OS X 10.10(Yosemite)

    Hi,
    Just upgraded to Yosemite (when my iMac 27" died Apple support put in a new HD and did the S/W upgrade).  I'm using (or was) PSE 8, but keep getting an error message, and says the licensing has stopped working.  Tried reinstalling the programme on my MBP (also now on Yosemite), but while it will open, it won't allow me access to any images stored in iPhoto.  Haven't tried yet on the iMac because I can't delete the old/existing key.
    The easy answer is to upgrade to PSE13, but is this necessary.  Can't seem to find and info on if this is the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

    Wait. You have a bigger problem than a reinstall will fix. You can never, never transfer an installed copy of PSE as the apple store did.
    Now you must download and run this:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    after which you can manually remove the bits of PSE that are there. Look not only in applications but also in the library at the main level of your hard drive>application support>adobe, as well as in the user library for the prefs mentioned by John in his post.
    Then you can reinstall, but you must clean up the mess first or you'll be right back where you started when you reinstall.

  • Photoshop will not open: error code 148:3. Restarting computer doesn't help. Is my only option reinstalling the program?

    ?

    That's a licensing error. You can read through several possible solutions here. Also, you can download the Adobe Licensing Repair Tool, which is suggested in the first solution.

    Photoshop.com is no longer available. The service transferred to Revel.
    Ignore the sign-in altogether.
    You may need to turn off Sync in Organizer prefs if you have it activated.

  • After installation CC, Photoshop will not open. Program error?

    I got a subscription on Creative Cloud. Downloaded CC and Photoshop, but Photoshop will not open. After the splash-screen, it says something about a program error, and then it stops. I deleted CC and PS and reinstalled everything, but still the same result. I work on a Mac, and all software is up to date..

    1. try resetting your preferences:  hold down shift-ctrl-cmd while starting ps.  you'll see a confirmation dialog if done correctly.
    2. if that fails, uninstall, clean and reinstall following the help here, http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html

  • Photoshop Elements 7 Editor Error & 10 trial error

    Photoshop Elements 7 Editor Error
    Hello,
    Yesterday I did a clean install of Windows 7 (x64) on my PC & have completely updated it through Windows Updater, I than installed PSE7 (disk that I brought new 3 years ago & has worked fine up till now) & followed the instructions.
    Now, it loads the first screen fine (Organise/Edit/Create/Share) & Organise,Create & Share each load fine but when I click on Edit I get this error
    Editor - Photoshop Elements 7.0
    Could not initialise Photoshop Elements because the file could not be found.
    I have already installed it on my old (now completely dead) Vista laptop, this PC & my mothers Win7 laptop & all work/ed.
    The thing I have tried are -
    Uninstalling & reinstalling PES7.
    Uninstalling & reinstalling the OS & installing PSE7 first.
    Replacing all files in 'Computer > Local Disk (C;) > Program Files (x86) > Adobe > Photoshop Elements 7.0 , with the files from my mothers laptop.
    Have 'Deleted the Settings File' (Shift + Ctrl + Alt)
    Running the Elements Organizer in a new user account.
    & ringing customer support who told me to ask here.
    I have tried the trial version of PSE10 which does not work, I get the following error
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 10
    Could not open a scratch file because the file could not be found.
    & clicking OK the following error
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 10
    Could not initialise Photoshop Elements because the file could not be found.
    Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

    Try reseting the preferences of PSE 10
    Open PSE just to the Welcome Screen and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Mac: Cmd + Opt + Shift) and keep pressing.
    Click on "Edit" from the Welcome Screen but keep pressing the keyboard keys - don't let up.
    You will get a little dialog box asking if you want to delete the settings file. Click "Yes."  You can let go of the keyboard keys now.
    This will rebuild the file for you and often solves the issue.
    If it doesn't work, navigate to :
    C: > Users > [user name] > Photoshop Elements > 10.0 > Editor > Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Prefs.psp
    Right click on the Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Prefs.psp, and select Delete.
    A new preferences file is created the next time you start Photoshop Elements.

  • Why won't Photoshop Elements 12 open?

    After being away for 3 months, I attempted to open and use PSE 12 and it does not open.  Today I uninstalled and reinstalled thinking that would help, but it doesn't.  It appears as though it's going to open, but the little "streaming" just stops.  Your assistance in resolving this problem is greatly appreciated.

    I am not a technician so I can't go too deep in the analysis... I did all I could imagine to do, I would like that somebody from Adobe would take care of this issue finding solution to the problem.

    >Hoping that you get a break through in your troubleshooting. Do not give up. I kept searching and searching for an answer to my Photoshop Elements 12 Full Editor not opening while the Elements Organizer 12 would. I have reams of data from October 2013 to April 2014 troubleshooting of the issue. Everything pointed to an activation issue but I could never target the place to fix until my break through came unexpectedly. And, as I found out, the SLStore Folder and SLCache Folder have "something" to do with activation according to the Adobe person who put forth what turned out to be the solution for me. Based on my encounter with this problem, I would say Windows No, Photoshop Elements activation Yes.
