PSE 11 Activation Fails After Camera Raw Update - 12-14-12

I updated Camera Raw today (12-14-12) through the Adobe Software Updater.  Now when I start PSE 11, I get a message that the software has exceeded its activation limit.
I chatted with "Ankish" who kindly reset the activation.  It worked while I was online with him.  I closed and restarted PSE 11 and there was no activation notice.
After the chat session, I rebooted the computer, and the same problem re-occurred.  Upon startup, PSE 11 pops up a message that the software activation limit has been exceeded.
Let me be clear, I bought the application from Adobe, I have a valid license that was delivered from Adobe via email, the software has only ever been installed once, on this machine.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Here's the chat log:
Ankish: Thank you for confirming, please allow me a moment to search for the information.
Jim: I installed the adobe camera raw update today. Is that the cause of the problem?
Ankish: I have made the necessary changes to the license, now you will be able to activate the product. Please try
to activate the product now while I stay online.
Jim: ok. it activated. do I still have one activation left?
Ankish: Great! No Jim.
Jim: what was the porblem with the ser #?
Jim: problem
Ankish: Jim may be you uninstalled the product directly without deactivating it. In that case activation limit is
consumed.
Jim: no, it was never uninstalled.
Ankish: Have you installed it on more than two devices?
Jim: only on this one computer
Jim: only change was the installation of the camera raw update today by the adobe installer
Ankish: Jim then there may be a technical issue.
Jim: ?
Your chat transcript will be sent to [email protected] at the end of your chat.
Ankish: Jim may be due to some technical issue, this error occured. But as I am not trained on technical issue. I
will not be able to answer your query.

Hi,
Is your problem resolved?

  • "Drawing Failed" After Camera RAW 4.0

    Hi,
    After testing the trial version of Photoshop CS3, I've found that processing images through camera raw leads to odd behavior when watching them in Windows Picture And Fax Viewer (particularly when zooming in), it just says "Drawing Failed" but the image still shows when I either scroll in the picture or zoom out and then back in.
    It also "removes"/hides the basic exif info when checked through Windows XP (Properties -> Summary), but it is still there when read from Photoshop's File info.

    On the
    Adobe Design Center video workshop website there is a brief video that will describe a few of the new controls. You will have to look for it in the Photoshop section of all the different videos that are listed. You might have to scroll to find one entitled, "Correcting lighting with Camera Raw." There are also a few short video tutorials available on the NAPP website.
    Take a look here.

  • IPhoto: Synch iPod Now Opens iPhoto (after "Camera Raw Update")

    On November 5, 2008, I let software update install Apple's "Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update version 2.3 (4.3MB)". Now, plugging my iPod Touch (1G) into USB port on my MacBook Pro laptop causes iPhoto to start (and eventually the expected iTunes starts as well).
    Prior to that upgrade, iPhoto did NOT start up when I plugged my iPod in. Prior to that upgrade, only iTunes started up (as expected).
    Yes, I know there's a preference setting in iPhoto to tell it not to startup when a camera is plugged in. However, I think Apple should investigate and see if they've introduced a "bug" with this update.
    By the way, I do NOT have synch of photos toggled on for the iPod. So, that doesn't explain this unexpected behavior of iPhoto starting up when the iPod is plugged into the USB port.

    I discovered that I accidentally took a picture of the iPod Touch's main screen (by doing Sleep+Home buttons at same time). This saved a picture (*.jpg?) on the iPod. Once I deleted this picture, then iPhoto stopped opening up whenever I connected the iPod to my MacBook Pro.
    Thus, my problem was pilot error.

  • CS3 Bridge. OSX, after camera raw update- no scroll bar...

    Half the contents of a directory run off the screen with no scroll bars. I only noticed because the last photo to the far right was cut in half. I select that photo, press right over and over- it selected 10 invisible photos before it ran over to the second row.

    What EXACT version of Bridge? 2.1.1.9? What EXACT version of the OS? 10.5.2 or 10.4.11?
    What have you tried to fix it so far? What routine maintenance do you perform on your machine?

  • Safari Spinning Beach Ball after 10.5.5, Camera Raw Update, and Rmt Desktop

    Safari is having real problems after remote desktop and camera raw update. Safari is totally unusable. Spinning beach ball forever and brings the entire machine to a hault. Hope someone can help with a fix soon
    I zapped the pram. Tried deleting safari preferences. Cleaned out all the caches and histories. Rebuilt the permissions. Reset safari and reboot many times. No love.
    I am now in the process of reapply the combo updater for 10.5.5, and repairing thee premissions one last time.

    Hi,
    If Safari continues to misbehave, Save your Bookmarks by using File/Export Bookmarks and any other personal information you have stored. Delete the Safari and app, download and reinstall:

    Make sure and run Disk Utility from your Applications/Utilities folder and Repair Disk Permissions BEFORE and AFTER each and every update or upgrade.

    Hi,
    Finally I made an update. I used download files from Adobe update pages (the same websites that were offline for few days), I couldn't do it automatically from PS CS5 application. Last problem is Adobe Extension update, can't do it automatically and manually becouse there are no update files for Adobe Extension CS5 for Windows (only for Mac). Most important is that my Camera Raw can open files from my cameras now. Thank You for your help.
    Hey abdzi could you give a short explanation were you found which download files?? I have the same problem and realy need the Camera Raw update. Please!! Thank you

  • Problems with Installing Camera Raw update for PSE 10 from Apple Appstore

    Hi.  Need some help, I have just bought Photoshop Elements 10 from Apple App Store directly from MAC.  I realised a few things
    1. That software directly downloads and i could not find any serial number for it
    2. That software does not include Organizer, or how do i access it.  It seems to be not the same as directly downloaded from adobe website
    3. the Camera Raw software 6.5 does not look like full featured, it has a number of missing tabs.  I tried to download the 6.6 Update and 6.5 Camera Raw Update but both could not be installed
    Appreciate some help.  Thanks.  [email protected]

    Chune Keat I would recommend posting your inquiry to the Photoshop Elements forum.

  • PSE 9.0 Mac Camera Raw

    For whatever reason the new camera raw update fails to update.  I'm not sure of the reason.  Is it possible to grab the plug-in and find the appropriate place/directory to move it to.
    If so, can someone tell me where on my Mac to place it?  I've used the standard installation for PSE 9.0.  Also where can I grab the plug in from?

    Okay, get it here:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=40&platform=Macintosh
    Under PSE 8, but the installation path is different now. It needs to go into your hard drive>library>application support>adobe>Plug-ins>Elements 9>File Formats, and be sure to move the existing plug-in out first.
    Note that this is the library at the top level of your hard drive, not system>library or your username>library.

    Try the easiest way first:  simply select the Updates menu item in Photoshop's Help menu. 
    You want to be on version 6.7 of Camera Raw.
    If for some reason the auto updater fails, you can download the updated plug-in and install it yourself by following the instructions on the download page, here:

  • PSE 9 cannot export camera raw edited files to a jpeg format.  Only available save as formats are photoshop and tiff.

    In PSE 9  I am currently unable to save files that have been edited in camera raw as jpeg files.  When I try to export the file using 'save as'  the only listed options are versions of photoshop file formats and tiff - jpeg is not listed.  I did not have this problem previously when using Nikon D3000 camera. I now use a Nikon D7100. I have installed the 6.5 Camera Raw update but this has not solved the problem.  I would appreciate any suggestions for resolving this.
    Margaret

    You have a 16-bit image and jpeg is an 8 bit format. You can set the raw converter to export as 8 bit by using the pulldown menu below the preview area, or you can just go to Image>Mode>8 bits/channel in the editor.

  • Camera Raw update for Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000

    Hi.
    I have Elements 11 and need to update it to open .raw files shot with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000. I can't find the link where I can download the camera raw update.
    Can you please help me?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    The FZ1000 requires camera raw 8.6 which is NOT compatible with PSE 11.
    You will need to upgrade to PSE 13 or use the DNG converter.

  • How download cs5 Camera raw update and how make Photoshop the default in the Bridge "open" menu?

    Two problems  which have defeated me.
    First, I have a new Canon  EOS 500D  and need to download the  recent  (July  2010) CS5 Camera Raw update. However both of my computers freeze when I move from the Adobe Support web page to the Download web page.  Is this a known problem? What to do about it? I am using CS 5 on a Windows 2007 XP computer.
    Second, (probably related to the first)   opening a file in Photoshop is not listed among  Bridge's  "OPEN AS" options. Also,  the "OPEN"  Default is "PAINT". How do I set Photoshop as the "OPEN"  menu  default?
    Thanks for your suggestions. I am truly befuddled by these  issues.

    Sounds like something is really wrong with your computer, and it isn't clear what, but if you're just having issues getting to the download link for ACR:
    Here is the download page for ACR 6.1 update:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4728
    Here is the download page for the CS5 12.0.1 update:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4733
    If those links don't work, you can probably find the same updates on the FTP site, although some things here are more than a decade old:
    ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/photoshop/
    See if Bridge and ACR are any happier after installing these two updates.  Make sure you run them as Administrator.
    If those still don't work for you, try another browser, where Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Google Chrome should all work.
    http://www.microsoft.com/ie
    http://www.firefox.com/
    http://www.google.com/chrome
    There are numerous other browsers, as well, but they probably won't work if the above three don't.
    Perhaps you either have a virus that you should scan for, or over-zealous internet-protection software that you could try disabling temporarily.
    My favorite free virus/malware scanner is from www.MalwareBytes.com
    The payfor version will automatically update itself and scan, but the free version works just as well except you have to manually update and scan.

  • Camera Raw Update 3.7 installation in Aperture 3.1.2

    I am using Aperture 3.1.2, wanted to install Camera RAW Update 3.7 for processing of RAW files from Olympus XZ-1. Following error message appeared: Apetrure 3 or Iphoto 09 needed for this update ??? Somebody else met this problem ? Thanks.

    Of course, sorry, that I did not make it. I did upgrade Aperture to 3.1.2 first and then I wanted to upgrade Camera Raw Data 3.6.4 to 3.7 and the error message came I mentioned in original thread.
    To solve the problem I did experiment and downgraded Aperture to 3.1, upgraded Camera Raw Update from 3.6.4 to 3.7 without problem and after that upgraded Aperture from 3.1. to 3.1.2.
    That worked w/o problems.

  • Camera Raw update 2.2 -- unsupported file formats

    As many user have posted here, after installing the latest Raw update from apple aperture and and all other core services became unable to read my Nikon D100 images. The file seemed fine since all other apps not based on core services worked fine. After reading some tips here I downgraded to the 2.1 raw software and everything was fine again. CLEARLY apple, in adding new camera support you introduced some sort of bug/problem. I know this was posted already but it did not seem to be generating much noise so I felt a need to keep the problem not 'under the rug'.
    Will

    Apple being aware of the problem is one thing, but customers are still being allowed to download and install this buggy version of Camera Raw update 2.2 without any warning of the consequences. The only place you can find any information about the problem is in this discussion and Apple have made no formal help documents available AFAIK. Pretty poor for a Pro App.
    It seems that not only are we beta testers for Apple, but also unpaid support staff.
