Photshop CS6 just started saying  program not licensed.

I have had Photoshop CS6 for a little over a year.  In the middle of using it today, it stop opening anything and gives me the message that my product is not licensed, reinstall or contact Adobe.
I downloaded the program and do not have a CD to reinstall. My attempt to contact Adobe brought me here.
Any ideas how to fix this problem?

I have had no end of problems with CS6 requesting the licensing number.
Adobe have solved the problem several times but it just keeps re-occuring.
Once again I am getting the request for entry of the license number. Will this problem ever be resolved completely.
I feel completely powerless in this situation. Here I am with a piece of software that was very obviously NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE but unable to talk to the sales staff or anyone with any power in ADOBE.
I have now written again to the head office in UK and Ireland but I do not expect to recieve a reply because that is how softwarte companies treat you. If this was any other market we would get some satisfaction.
It is a real pity as CS6 is very good - However I just use CS5 now even though I paid £200 for the upgrade. How do I get satisfaction.
ADOBE - you now owe me for all the time and frustration.
Pity about the lads in India - they resolve the problem for a while then it returns when something I do in Photoshop occurs to start the request for license number all over again.

  • I have a used iMac, HD wiped, OS 10.6.8 freshly installed w/Rosetta, Photoshop Elements won't start saying "could not complete because of missing or invalid personalization info." previous owner's name still there preventing initialing?

    I have a used iMac, HD wiped clean, OS 10.6.8 freshly installed w/Rosetta, Photoshop Elements was installed but won't start saying "could not complete because of missing or invalid personalization info." is previous owner's name somehow still there preventing initialing?  How do I remove and install my own?  I don't understand as HD was completely wiped with no OS when I got it.

    I think Adobe allows their software to be installed on 2 computers only. However, if say you buy another computer and wish to install PSE on the new computer ( effectively a 3rd computer as far as Adobe is concerned ) PSE needs to be properly uninstalled ie not simply by uninstalling using the operating system's uninstall process. It needs to be uninstalled using the Adobe uninstall process that is contained within the software.
    You should then be given a prompt as to whether you will be reinstalling on the same computer or if you wish to remove altogether. If the latter, then all traces are removed and the software can be (re) installed on the new computer.
    If, unknown to yourself, the software had been installed on 2 computers and although you or the previous may have wiped the hard drive clean, as far as Adobe is concerned the software is still ' registered / assigned ' to 2 computers.
    If the previous owner bought a new computer and installed their PSE on it, wiped the hard drive clean without properly uninstalling/removing PSE thentherein probably lies the prblem.
    As Allan Jones said, it 's probably worth your while to purchase your own copy.
    Hope this helps.

  • Mail OS wont open, it just says "program not answering"

    I just intalled the latest update, and now when i click to open mail OS, i wont open the program, i just gives the message "Program not answerin" when i right click on the mail icon.

    I USED THIS PROCESS :
    Get Pacifist.
    Download Safari 5.1.7 for Lion.
    Quit Safari if running.
    Install Safari 5.1.7 using Pacifist. Select "Open Package", choose the 5.1.7 dmg from step 2. Click on the "Contents of Safari5.1.7LionManual.pkg", then click "Install" on the toolbar. Choose "Yes" or "Replace" when asked, and wait for it to finish.
    Disable the frameworks that were installed by Safari 6 (by renaming them). You will be prompted for your administrator password.$ cd /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks $ sudo mv SafariServices.framework SafariServices.framework.disabled
    Disable additional Safari 6 frameworks (optional, but recommended):$ cd /System/Library/StagedFrameworks/Safari $ sudo mv SafariServices.framework SafariServices.framework.disabled $ sudo mv WebInspector.framework WebInspector.framework.disabled
    Launch Safari.
    If it doesn't work, you can re-install Safari 6 from Software Update.

  • HT4623 My iPhone just started saying "Error in Activation"

    Basically I just tried to use my iPhone and it started to say, "Error in Activation" then "This device is not registered as part of the developers program of iPhone. If you are a memeber and part of the Developers Program for iPhone, register this device in the program portal for the Developers Program at http://developer.apple.com/iphone" and it wont even let me restore the iPhone since it says that it has encountered an error as followed. Please help?

    You must have been running a beta version of iOS 7.  The beta has now expired.  Since iOS 7 beta was legally available only to developers, you need to log on to the Developers forum using your developer credentials for instructions on reactivating your phone.

  • Everytime I use the firefox browser it will freeze up when refreshing a page or changing to another page saying program not responding. This is getting really annoying, is there anyway to fix this problem?

    Everytime I check my email and switch websites the program will become unresponsive and freeze, then it will say "Not Responding". After waiting a while it will work again but with it freezing up for every time a page changes or refreshes it's a waste of time for me to use this browser.

  • What is the best way to consolidate Aperture and iPhoto libraries onto an external drive? I am just starting out and not used to Aperture filing system.

    I would like to use the drive as storage/aperture backup rather than use it to back up my whole Macbook.  Would like to keep the majority of the photo files on the ext. drive and be able to add files there directly.  BUT, when workng in aperture would like to be able to select some from the ext. drive and work them on the laptop directly without having to have the ext drive attached. 
    So do i, have the aperture library path mapped to the ext drive, and then import the iphoto library? and then how do i add additional from the camera?  Or, do i move everything together (imported iphotos and new from camera) in Aperture on the Macbook first, and then transfer that library to the ext drive? 
    For the life of me I can't figure out how to do this in a way that seems logical.  Vaults?  Masters on ext drive, versions on the macbook? Consolidating libraries? The endless possible answers are baffling me.
    Thanks for any help!

    Hi Shane.  Not much in the way of thoughts - - but fwiw:
    How is the drive attached?
    Can you open large files on the drive with other programs?
    Are you running any drive compression or acceleration programs (some drives arrive with these installed)?
    Can you reformat the drive and try again?
    Hi Kirby,
    I attached the UltraMax Plus with a USB cable. The UltraMax powers the cable so power is not an issue. I can open other files. Also, there is 500GB of files on the drive so I cannot re-format it. Although, I noted I could import the entire Aperture Library. However, I do not want to create a duplicate on my machine because that would be defeating the purpose of the external drive.
    Thanks,

  • Indesign CS6 just started crashing when exporting to pdf - help?

    I just got Indesign CS6 a few weeks ago and I'm using it on a new macbook pro. I had exported to pdf a few times with no problem. Today, I tried the same thing and Indesign began quitting for no apparent reason. I already tried restarting my computer. Any suggestions?

    Hmmm...maybe I should try that. InDesign causes Acrobat to crash about half the time when I export it out as an Interactive PDF. The only thing is, it has always happened on all my ID files and it happens sporadically. If it crashes, I just do it once or twice again and it works. That would be the only reason I wouldn't think this will be my issue.
    I'll go through the process a few times and see what happens...thanks.

  • Just started. iphoto will not recognize iphone as a camera

    frustrated here. All of a sudden, IPhoto will not recognize my iPhone as a camera and therefore will not upload photos taken on the phone. No settings have been changed. Not sure what to do here.

    Got any photos in your camera roll that were emailed to you or saved through safari? If so, try deleting them or emailing them to yourself & then deleting them from your camera roll. See if iphoto will then see your phone.

  • 'Program not working' - panorama

    When I attempt to create a panorama using Photoshop Elements 9 on my recently purchased Windows 8.1 pc I get a message saying 'Program not Working' and I have to close the editor. This function was ok on my old Windows XP pc. Can anyone help?

    First, quit the editor, then restart it while holding down ctrl+alt+shift. Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do. Note that if you have set the welcome screen to automatically open the editor, it won't work from that shortcut. Use the actual .exe/application file or the buttons in the organizer or on the welcome screen.

  • Nano keeps saying "do not disconnect"

    I have up loaded songs and my itunes recognizes my nano just fine but everytime I plug it in it just keeps saying "do not disconnect" and it never goes away. Even after it syncs and the battery is completely charged. I don't know if maybe I'm doing something wrong or even hurting my ipod.
    Please help.

    Have a look in "My Computer" and see if it is listing your iPod in there. Alternatively try using the "Safely Remove Hardware" function on Windows. That should disconnect the iPod and allow you to unplug it.
    To find iPod options, in iTunes click on "EDIT" then "PREFERENCES" then "iPod" then "Music" You should have a list of options:-
    Automatically update all songs and playlists
    Automatically update selected playlists only
    Manually manage songs and playlists
    If the third option is checked then it will not disconnect automatically.
    Lower down the page are more options
    Only update checked songs
    Open iTunes when this iPod is connected
    Enable disk use
    Display album artwork on your iPod
    If "Enable disk use" is checked, then again it will not disconnect automatically.
    To manually disconnect, right click on your iPod's name and then left click on eject.
    If that lot doesn't work, then that is the limit of my expertise.

    There is no free version of CS2.  There is only a special version of CS2 available for people who purchased it and need to reinstall it.
