Product License Has Expired (new install, no previous beta)

I'm trying to bring up a new computer and just installed CS3, which was an online upgrade to CS2. I'm getting the "Product License Had Expired" message, but I never had the beta installed (fix in Adobe Tech Note). In fact, this is only the second app I've installed (first was FCP2). I did a web search, but all 'fixes' I could find referred to having had a beta version installed earlier. Any ideas?

Routine maintenance is imperative.
I still advocate Repairing Permissions (with Apple's Disk Utility) before AND after any system update or upgrade, as well as before AND after installing any software that requires an installer that asks for your password.
I have seen software installations go sour because the installer did not find everything as and where it should be.
I have also seen software installations go bad because the installer did not clean up after itself properly and did not leave everything as and where it should be.
This is just my own personal opinion and practice based on my own observations. Others may disagree and that's OK. I can only base my routines and my advice to others on my own experience and conclusion. I don't pretend to know why others believe otherwise.
Repairing Permissions after the fact (i. e. not immediately before and after an install) seldom helps.; Try it anyway, though.
====
Additionally, if your machine does not run 24/7 so that it runs the daily, weekly and monthly Cron Scripts in the middle of the night as intended by Apple, run Cocktail (shareware) as well.
Cron Scripts are maintenance routines designed by Apple to run on a daily, weekly and monthly basis in the middle of the night.
If you don't run them, you WILL run into trouble, sooner rather than later.
Here's an excerpt from the Apple tech doc
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107388
Mac OS X performs background maintenance tasks at certain times if the computer is not in sleep mode. If your computer is shut down or in sleep at the designated times, the maintenance does not occur. In that case, you may want or need to run these manually.
Mac OS X periodically runs background tasks that, in part, remove system files that are no longer needed. This includes purging older information from log files or deleting certain temporary items. These tasks do not run if the computer is shut down or in sleep mode. If the tasks do not run, it is possible that certain log files (such as system.log) may become very large.
Also, from:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106978
The disk activity generated by find is a normal part of file system maintenance, used for tasks such as removing invisible temporary files that are used by the system. It is scheduled to occur early in the morning at 03:15 everyday, 04:30 on Saturdays, and 05:30 on the first day of each month.
NOTE:
There have been comments to the effect that Apple "fixed" this in 10.4.2 and later versions of the OS, but I have not been able to verify this to my satisfaction. The reference in the 10.4.2 release notes are far from explicit on this subject.

If you have DiskWarrior, run it regularly too.

Product license has expired???????

Here is my problem,
I downloaded the Photoshop CS4 and CS3 trial off of the Adobe site. I uninstalled them both after i was done using them. So then i went and bought Photoshop CS3 ( i got it for a good price). So i installed it, it want fine after i finished, i clicked on it to fun it and it says product license has expired. so i have uninstalled it and reinstalled it a few times and nothing. I emailed Adobe and they said the problem should be fixed so i tried again and it keeps happening. So does anyone have any ideas? that would be great

Actually, I'm sorry to say but I think they may be right. I went through the same thing a few years back when I bought a copy of Photoshop 7 on ebay. It all looked legitimate. These guys can produce very authentic looking things. The seller offered me my money back upon the mention of it being a pirate, said I didn't need to send it back, but swore it was real. i picked up elements, and now I finally have CS4 from a trusted reseller.
If you do a search on google for "ebay pirate photoshop", I'm sure something will come up... like this: http://community.contractwebdevelopment.com/how-identify-pirated-versions-adobe-photoshop
This is a common thing on Amazon too. Get in contact with the seller, and hopefully you paid by paypal, they might be able to get your money back. Check their other auctions, and see how many other high priced software they are selling.
Actually, hopefully we are wrong and you actually got a good deal and this is a technical problem, but I just have a feeling that its not legit.
Take care and good luck.
EDIT: Whoops I missed the part where you said you purchased through amazon. get in touch with Amazon and your credit card company (if you used one).

Product license has expired on a full CS3 version

I am working on a vista pc with a Flash CS3 full version but
can not get access to device central when I try to acces it through
the welcome screen (Flash Mobile (Mobile).
It keeps on saying "Product license has expired" and it is
not.
Does anybody knows a solution to this?

Same problem here.
Working on a Mac. I have to re-install my Design Premium CS3 software since my hard disk got broken. I could save some information from the old one so I think there's some conflict with the old OS or something.
Any solution?

Clean install - "License Has Expired" problem

My computer died last week so I bought a new Gateway PC running Vista. I've been able to re-install everything except Photoshop CS3. This is a new-from-the-factory PC that never had any version of Photoshop installed. I installed CS3 from my downloaded installer and entered the registration key but get the "Product license has expired" error when I try to launch the program. I even went to my Adobe Product Registrations page to double-check that I had the correct license #.
I followed the steps on this web site to uninstall, run the CS3Clean script, and deleted the cache.db file. Upon re-installation the setup program seems to accept the serial number with a green check mark, but then when I try to launch the program I get the "license has expired" error again. Frustrating!
I obtained CS3 legitimately as a pre-release tester and it worked fine up until my old PC died last week. And I was able to successfully re-install my Mac version of CS3 just a few weeks ago.
Anyone have any good ideas before I try the uninstall/clean process again?

Thanks for the idea! However I already disabled UAC before I even tried to install CS3, and I did attempt the install using an administrator account (the only user account on the machine, currently).

Dream Spark VS 2013 Professional "This license has expired" on new install

Help!
I registered on Dream Spark, got verified, and downloaded the iso image for Visual Studio Professional.
I burned it to a DVD, ran the install program and everything seemed to install smoothly on my Windows 7 PC.
When I launch VS, however, I get a pop-up in the Start Page titled: "Product Information", saying... "License: Prerelease Software" and "This license
has expired". Then, the only thing it allows me to do is click "Close", which shuts down the whole program.
I do have a Product Key provided on the Dream Spark download page, but can't figure out how to enter it anywhere since it doesn't allow me to get to the Help menu. It does
allow me to sign in to my Microsoft account, and I've done that, but it doesn't help in getting past the license issue. I have uninstalled, and reinstalled the whole package, and still have the same problem.
I've been hunting around online for a solution. I've found others with the same problem but haven't found a solution that works for me. I don't see the exact problem addressed
in any of the Forum entries here.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Dec9 and Mylenium have hit some of the "high points," and posed a couple of questions. If you do a reinstall, this ARTICLE will touch on some of the things to consider.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - I think that it was aimed at Premiere Pro, but I seem to recall an Adobe Knowledgebase article on "license has expired." You might want to search this, and the PrPro forum, to see if my memory is correct, as that KB article might be useful - again, good luck.

Dreamweaver says my license has expired but I can't get to a place to renew it. I go in circles. How do I do it?

Adobe will no longer validate the license of products prior to Creative Cloud.
I don't know where you get your information, Nordstrom, but CS6 is still available as a perpetually licensed product. And if you own CS versions prior to 6, they are still valid for as long as you own the product.
Beginning with Creative Cloud, Adobe is using a subscription model for payment & software distribution which I have no problem with since many software developers are using similar models. The Adobe Creative Cloud software installs on your machine exactly the same way other CS products did. More importantly, updates are rolled out regularly as soon as they become available so there's no more waiting 18 mos for the next product upgrade cycle. For me, that's a definite plus. Your mileage may vary.

Dreamweaver says my license has expired, but it hasn't

i tried to open dreamweaver and it says that my license has expired. i put in the serial number and it says that the software was not able to activate due to network problems.

Hi ufruss,
I suggest that you Contact Customer Care
They should be able to help you or at least redirect you correctly. If, by any chance, you are redirected to the forums, I suggest that you use the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up. The experts there are better placed to help you.
Thanks,

What does: "A license has expired on the Proxy, and your request is not permitted: "The SGOS license has expired" " mean?

I have an intermittent problem with trying to access www.google.co.uk and www.google.com, I just can't seem to access the sites and get the message:
A license has expired on the Proxy, and your request is not permitted: "The SGOS license has expired"
<u></u>==
I have tried restarting both my laptop and my ADSL router-modem, but to no avail. Yesterday, I had no problem accessing either site, this just seems to have started this morning.
I do not seem to have this problem with any other web sites, including popular ones such as Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo! or BBC News.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.google.co.uk and http://www.google.com

Same here. With tiscali as well. Any luck with their reply.

The biggest problem cause by DC demoting will be follows:
A Domain Controler has not local security context - it only knows the domain.
At the moment you are demoting a domain controler you will loose every local usergroup (which is handeled as a domain local group on a domain controller) and get back to computer local groups.
But no domain local group will be migrate to a computer local group during this process.
As a lot of security settings within an SAP installlation (some SAP groups and ALL Oracle relevant operatings system groups) will now be missed.
Furtheron hardware keys on which the SAPlicense is based on may have changed.
in other words: it is homogeniouis system copy time....

License has expired and ENC

I am getting the message "License has expired" when I try to access the JNDI on
the running server. The server has the valid license. The error is shown only
when "java:comp/env" ENC is used. Following is the code.
public void lookup(){
try{
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "t3://localhost:8001");
ctx = new InitialContext(env);
NamingEnumeration enum = ctx.listBindings("java:/comp/env/ejb");
while (enum.hasMore()) {
Binding binding = (Binding) enum.next();
System.out.println("Name: " + binding.getName());
System.out.println("Type: " + binding.getClassName());
System.out.println("Value: " + binding.getObject());
System.out.println();
