Photoshop Error 16 - Please reinstall the product

Hello - I manage a Mac lab for my school.  We are running opendirectory on macs running 10.8.5.  We have CS 5.5 that is fully updated.  All the machines were imaged with deploy studio and have the exact same image on them. 
About 10% of our students we are randomly getting error 16.  It pops up on different machines at different times.  One student will log on to several machines and get the error.  Another student will log in on the same machines and not get the error.  It will not work for a student one day and then work for them the next day.  I have done the research and found the following solution....http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/configuration-error-cs5.html  however that did not work for me.  Any help would be appreciated.

Yes we use DHCP, yes the district has multiple subnets but all the Mac labs are on the same subnet. Which config files are you referring to?  The application is on each machine it is not pulling any info from a server.  There is no obscure backup and restoration procedure.  The user files are stored locally not on the network.  We use OD to map network drives and printers and for authentication only.  All profile information is stored locally.
I have tried the permissions fix mentioned at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/configuration-error-cs5.html, however that did not work.  I know it could be many things however this seems to be a common problem from what I have seen on other forums and the link I provided is the only solution that I have seen.
My suspicion is that this is a application problem and not a network issue since I have no other network issues to speak of.  I have the teacher documenting specifically what is happening when so we can try to determine some sort of pattern or cause of the problem.  It was my hope that someone on here has had this issue and can point me in the right direction.

  • "Your application install seems to be damaged, Please reinstall the application."

    So I have been trying to contact chat support for the past hour and no answer. I spoke to them earlier about my Creative Cloud app having froze and they talked me through how to solve this issue. However, now when I try to open any of my downloaded apps such as Photoshop or InDesign, it gives me these messages:
    "Your application install seems to be damaged, Please reinstall the application."
    "Adobe Application Manager, required to run your product, is missing or damaged.

    Natacha,
    The error message  "Adobe creative cloud is needed to resolve this problem. However, it is missing or damaged. Please download and install a new copy of the Creative Cloud from http://www.adobe.com/go/adobecreativecloudapp" means that the installation of the Creative Cloud Application was not successful. I would recommend uninstalling the application, manually removing the folders mentioned below and trying  the installation procedure again.
    WINDOWS ::  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE & C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\AdobeApplicationManager .

  • Unable to load the user interface-please reinstall the application-Audigy 2 zs Platinum

    unable to load the user interface-please reinstall the application---this is the message I get when my pc starts------Someone messing around with my computer tried to delete creative media source player 3 when they saw I had both 3 and 5 in folder and i get this error message every time I start my pc. In addition to this I have lost my EAX and THX consoles and my speaker settings are gone so I cannot adjust my 5. system at all. After I delete that error message when I click on the creative icon is sys tray instead of opening up the creative media player I get the error message--unable to load needed componants. Please reinstall the application. this is media player 3[version 3.32.]. I dont know why during the auto?updates through the last couple of years I have media player 3 in sys tray and if I need version 5 it is in file with 3--start-all programs-creative--any way my pc is a Cyberpower AMD FX-53 using win xp pro-32 bit-- and of course its a OEM product so they tell me the only way to get it to work is use the restoration cd they gave me when I bought the pc and it will revert back to its original state as when purchased. I would lose all my games, music, pictures?ect and would have to start from scratch.[ OR of course back everything up on a portable hard dri've]?It seems like there should be an easier way --hell I might as well buy a new soundcard and it would make it easier. If anyone?has an answer for someone who is not a tech head so I can understand please help !!--thank you in advance for any assistance as it is greatly appreciated. Sorry this message is so long winded, just irritating to have spen so much for a pc and not have the original installation disc.-tried moving to another slot and the fixes I saw posted here with no luck---thank you folks again--Tom

    All the issues you guys are talking about have been reported in beta stage of these new drivers. I would say none of them has been fixed yet. The only solution for now is to use previous drivers which work fine or use some modified drivers which fixes some issues, but not all. Your choice.

  • Office 2013 Technet installation Error 25004. The product key you entered cannot be used on this machine. (System error: - 1073422314)

    I am receiving an error when attempting to install
    Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 which I downloaded from the TechNet site.  At the end of the installation process I receive the following message: 
    "Error 25004. The product key you entered cannot be used on this machine. This is most likely due to previous Office 2013 trials being installed. (System error:
    -1073422314)"
    I have never installed a trial or Beta of any Office product on this machine.   However, I have installed Office 2007 Ultimate and Office 2010 Professional Plus.  All of these are 32bit versions downloaded from TechNet site.  In addition,
    prior to this error I had attempted unsuccessfully to install the 64bit version of Office 2013 as well as standalone versions of Visio Professional 2013 x64 and Project professional 2013 x64.   All three of these installations failed due to previous
    installation of 32bit Office software, so I have downloaded the 32 bit versions but not yet tried to install, other than Office 2013. 
    I used the Custom upgrade option during the attempted install of Office 2013, specifying "keep all prior versions".
    Note that all the above was done on a new machine.  The specific purpose was to test co-existence of multiple versions of OFFICE (2007, 2010, 2013) to facilitate user training and migration.
    I have tried uninstalling via Control Panel, and performed some of the steps for manual removal, however did not do all of them since 1) They are quite lengthy and 2) Some of them seem to involve removing ALL prior versions of Office, which I do not want
    to do; the earlier versions are working properly and I do not want to have to uninstall them.  Just want to uninstall and reinstall Office 2013.   Also tried running  O15CTRREMOVE.diagcab which indicated that it could not find a problem,
    but did not seem to remove anything. 
    I have read about ten recommended TechNet articles, which recommend everything from running a FIXIt tool, uninstalling all OFFICE software, and reformatting the whole machine.  Most of these involve System error -1073418209 rather than -1073422314 (which
    is the code that I am getting).   Other than that the problem sounds the same.  This seems to be a problem with key management and copy protection in these products, dating back to 2010.  Dozens of IT professionals have tried the solutions
    and vented their frustration since other than the full format, the other solutions work only sporadically, if at all.  Some of these people had been working with trial or beta software, but many who encountered this problem had not.  As
    noted above, none of my software was a trail version.    I do not want to uninstall all the OFFICE versions, particularly if it as likely as not will not resolve the issue.   (I am also getting paranoid to the extent of fearing that
    after uninstalling everything I might not be able to reinstall any version).  I think what we need here is a definitive fix from Microsoft, though I am not too hopeful, in view of the lack of response to all the other technicians who have been struggling
    with this for at least the past three years. 
    If anyone is aware of a solution which works consistently, I would appreciate it.  Reformatting however is not an option.  Detailed instructions for completely uninstalling Office 2013 (ONLY 2013) might be helpful.  I would be willing to uninstall
    all versions, but only as a last resort, and only if there is some assurance that this will actual solve the problem (for many others it did not seem to do so).
    Thanks
    PS: Probably doesn't matter, but I am running this on Windows 7 Pro w/SP1, 64 bit edition.

    Tony,
    Thanks for your reply.   I do in fact have three versions of Office installed on this machine, 2007 2010 and (hopefully) 2013.  I have on previous occasions installed 2007 and 2010 on a single machine, but this is my first attempt to install
    2013.   
    According to TechNet article  office.microsoft.com/en-us/support/install-and-use-multiple-versions-of-office-on-the-same-pc-HA103981695.aspx (Install
    and use multiple versions of Office on the same PC) it is possible to install
    Office 2003 2007 2010 and 2013 on a single system, provided they are installed in the sequence indicated.  It is noted that some problems may occur, notably involving file associations, but there is no
    mention of any activation key issues.   
    As stated in my original request, the software which I have installed is NOT a trail version.   I did NOT obtain it from the evalcenter, but from
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/subscriptions/securedownloads/hh442904.  
    The above is a full retail version.    The files which I downloaded are:
    en_office_ultimate_2007_united_states_x86_dvd_480625.iso
    en_office_professional_plus_2010_x86_515486.exe
    en_office_professional_plus_2013_x86_dvd_1123673.iso
    I know that the error message says that the problem is commonly caused by attempting to install trial software more than once, but that is not the case.  Several other people have reported this same problem, sometimes involving trial software but not
    in every case.    My own opinion is that this is a software bug involving key management and copy protection. 
    Many people have reported on TechNet that the problem was NOT resolved even after uninstalling all Office software.  While there is a chance I might get lucky, I really would like a solution which has a better chance for success.
    By any chance, does the error code 1073422314
    provide any further insight into this issue?
    Thanks again for your help.  However, further assistance is needed to resolve this issue.
    PS: Sorry the font sizes are so mixed up, I haven't quite figured out how to control the formatting when I paste

  • Error while creating the product group by MC84

    Hello Friends,
    I am creating the product group by MC84, and in product group field i have given the product group name i.e P2345, and its description i.e product group for waluj, plant i.e cw01 and Base unit i.e KG.Now when i press enter system is throwing the error"The field is defined as the required field;it doesnot contain an entry."Message no.MG144.And with this error system is placing the cursor on product group field.As i have already given product group name than also system is throwing the error.
    Though i know the alternative method to create product group by MMO1 and selecting the material type PROD, then also i want to know why system is throwing the error while creating the product group by MC84.
       Please guide.

    Dear,
    This message says that you have not entered a mandatory field.Enter proper values for all mandatory fields and then you will not get this error.
    Try to create the product group as material of material type"PROD"
    Then you go on adding the memebers in SOP Transaction.
    In some of the versions of SAP it is the problem.
    I have also faced this problem in some versions.

  • 'Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory. Please reinstall the application.'

    I tried opening PS and this message popped up 'Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory. Please reinstall the application.' I cannot find the Reinstall button?

    I followed these instructions but cannot find how to reinstall PS. When I click on the membership link the page displays as NOT BEING FOUND.
    Quit all applications. 
    In the Finder, navigate to the Photoshop application folder. 
    Do one of the following: 
    If the Locales folder is not listed within the application folder, then skip to Step 5.
    If the Locales folder is listed within the application folder, then drag the Locales folder to the Trash.
    Choose Finder > Empty Trash. 
    Start the installer for Photoshop or your edition of the Adobe Creative Suite. 
    If you purchased boxed software, then insert the installation DVD-ROM into your computer's DVD drive.
    If you purchased downloadable software from the Adobe Online Store, then double-click the disk image (.dmg) file or files that you downloaded. (If you no longer have the downloaded disk image file or files, then log in to your account at www.adobe.com/membership to download the installer.)
