Re: My license for Adobe CS6 suddenly expired

I also have the student but I didn't buy it through my school, so no help there, I bought it directly from Adobe. I didn't download it, I had them mail me the disks in case of a pc crash. So now that very thing happened and I had to reformat my Hard Drive. Everything else installed great except for CC6. I am having the same problems as all of you.  I won't use CC I already payed for mine too and was told it was not a temporary license. Not funny Adobe!

Branching to a separate discussion.
Tahnie have you verified that the serial number you are utilizing is registered under your account at http://www.adobe.com/?  You can find additional details on how to locate your serial number at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.

  • My license for Adobe CS6 suddenly expired

    My license for Adobe CS6 suddenly does not function anymore, I get the message "license expired"
    Re-activation with the proper license does not work.
    I can also not de-activate the SW
    Please advise

    This is my schools second response.
    "Unfortunately, Adobe has dropped the CS6 keys that were issued to students and are no longer valid. This is Adobe's product and is beyond our control. If your Adobe CS6 key has expired, there is simply no further support that we can provide. We’ve received no information on any fix or replacements"
    After my school pretty much gave up on helping me after not trying. I contacted adobe Via Twitter.

  • Have french license for adobe cs6 design but need ENGLISH

    My university in Lausanne, Switzerland installed Adobe CS6 Design & Web Premuim with their license. Awesome. Only thing is that I am English speaking and the programs are all in French because they have a French license. I was able to change Photoshop to English easily, but I can't seem to find a way to change the other programs from French to English. I have a PC running Win 7 Pro 64 bit, but I do not know the serial number for Adobe.
    Has anyone solved this? I am already slow on the computer and working in another language will make me triple slow, which is frustrating, even with my little knowledge of French.
    Is there a patch for English in Illustrator, in Design, Dreamweaver, Bridge, FlashProfessional,etc ??? Please help!!
    Thank you!!!
    Annie

    If that is a Creative Cloud license, you could change the install language, but not so easily with the CS versions.
    Maybe your university can get the other language version for a small fee. You could try and ask support.

  • Getting "licensing for this product has expired" message after reinstalling CS6

    I recently upgraded my operating system on the same computer from Windows 7 32-bit to Windows 7 64-bit. This of course meant I had to do a clean reinstall of all my software.
    When I reinstalled Photoshop CS6, I got an error "licensing for this product has expired."
    In hindsight, after researching the problem, I realize I should had deactivated CS6 on my 32-bit installation before upgrading the computer, but I didn't. I did, however, upgrade to a new hard drive when I upgraded my operating system, so I was able to put the old hard drive back in and deactivate the original installation after the fact.
    However, on the 64- bit installation, even when I try uninstalling CS6 and installing it again, it accepts my serial number, but then gives me the "licensing for this product has expired message."
    I have tried contacting Adobe online chat help twice. Each time I get an agent quickly, but after asking a few questions they tell me they need to transfer me to the "install department." The other night I was left in limbo a half hour waiting for the install department before I gave up. Tonight I've been on for almost an hour and am still waiting.
    I assume that CS6 has left something in the registry of the 64-bit installation that no longer allows me to install Photoshop with my current (valid) serial number, but I have no idea how to fix it or get through to Adobe help. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Just to update this, I was able to connect with Adobe by phone and resolve the problem. The guy on the phone was much more helpful than my two previous attempts to contact Adobe by their online chat.
    The guy had me repeat the steps outlined in Solution 3 in the document that Bill refers to, however we also did the additional step of running a program called Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner tool. That program removed the files from my system that were preventing Photoshop from running.
    Thanks all.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended, owned for ages, licensing for this product has expired? Was using it two months ago.

    Hello,
    I have been trying to get Adobe's help for over a month now. I've been on the phone twice to them, opened up three seperate cases and still arrived at no solution. I was bought Photoshop CS4 Extended awhile ago and use it for my studies (I'm an art student). Two months ago my harddrive on my computer failed and I had to have a new laptop. I went to reinstall Photoshop and "Licensing for this product has expired" comes up. I've uninstalled, inreinstalled many times and used Microsoft Fix It Programme for uninstalling to make sure all the files are gone.
    Surfing the forums I learned that there should be a folder with back up and Adobe PCD but I don't have that folder at all. The serial number I use is my original serial number that I know works and adobe have even said it's a technical error. What do I do? College starts again in two weeks and I don't have the programme I use for it!

    Try the License Repair Tool Adobe - Adobe Licensing Repair Tool
    Other suggestions if this doesn't work: Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Windows
    Also if you must uninstall, use the Adobe CS Cleaner tool, not the Microsoft one. Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

  • Adobe photoshop licensing for this product has expired, backup swatches and brushes.

    when i open adobe photoshop CS3 and flash CS3 a box appears saying " licensing for this product has expired. please reinstall or contact help"
    i have tried all the soutions and are at to "reinstalling" i dont have the disc or the code.
    all i am worried about is getting a copy of my swatches/palates and brushes. Is there any way of saving the swatches and/or brushes?
    or if i were to install the CS5 version of photoshop would it automatically convert my settings, (swatches and brushes) to the newer verison?

    Somebody posted this very helpful file location chart just yesterday, and already it has been useful.

    Serial numnbers are platform specific so you will not be able to use it for the Mac if it was initially designated for a PC.  YOu will need to perform a platform swap.  See the following for information:
    Change product platform or language
    You can swap languages/platforms for a latest version product if you follow the instructions at the following link:

  • "Licensing For this Product Has Expired" (But I just bought it!)

    I'm having an installation problem, with Adobe CS4 Design Premium for Windows on Vista(64).  For technicality purposes, I believe everything installed fine, but I have not been able to open the programs even once, which apparently means this is an installation issue.
    Here's the situation:
    I had a trial version of Photoshop CS4, it expired, I uninstalled it (or at least went to Control Panel-->Programs And Features--->"Uninstall"), bought Adobe Premier with my student discount, installed it with the new serial number and the 2 CDs without any problems (so I thought), but now every time I try to open any CS4 Program (Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, etc.--anything but Acrobat Pro or Bridge CS4) I get a message saying, 'Licensing for this product has expired.'
    I found an equivalent issue with Macs and there appears to be a quick fix:
    "The tech had me remove APPLICATION SUPPORT > ADOBE > ADOBE PCD > cache > cache.db (to trash)"  This apparently solved the problem.
    Does anyone know an equivalent fix for Windows PCs?
    I've have tried downloading the fix from the following website:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/licensing.html
    (Running this multiple times, rebooting, etc.) but I believe the above website is just for problems of "License has stopped working" and not "Licensing for this product has expired"
    I also tried setting my laptop's date/time back to May 31st 2009 following these instructions:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/494/cpsid_49485.html
    but when I do that, I get the original, 'Accept these Terms' page, and as soon as I click "I agree' that page disappears, and nothing else happens. My computer works fine, but the program does not start. Therefore I can't deactivate the program/serial number, reset the correct date, start the program, and enter the proper serial number.
    Any chance someone knows the appropriate Windows File to remove to solve this problem?  Or have any other advice?
    Many thanks in advance,
    Kevin
    PS--I've tried to stay professional about this situation, but it really has me livid.  I'm appalled that something that cost me 300+ dollars (and I am fully aware it costs most honest people significantly more) could have caused me to waste the better part of a day, and get so frustrated, and I am still no closer to a solution.  If it doesn't get resolved soon I am tempted to try returning the software as 'defective' (which for all intents and purposes it is) or never buy an Adobe product again.  My friends have less trouble with the cracks/keygens/etc out there, and they're up $300+ on me.

    UPDATE:
    So, I took John T. Smith's advice (thanks for the phone number--relatively short wait time compared to the other number I had tried), and called Customer Service.  I got the usual run-around, where the first guy wanted me to try all the things I described in the original post. Had me try something else (which involve reinstalling) which didn't work. Finally, the next gal I talked with admitted she didn't know the solution, and the problem would be 'upgraded' to the next higher level of presumably smarter tech people.  I asked the time frame for this, and she said 1-2 days, which I wasn't happy about, and finally spoke with her supervisor.  This person walked me through the uninstallation, and had 'some files' I should delete.  AND FINALLY, I GOT WHAT I WANTED:
    He said if I just removed/deleted the following file:
    C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe\AdobePCD\Cache\Cache.db
    So the order he wanted me to do it was:
    Uninstall CS4 Design Premium (with windows vista Program and Features in the Control Panel, remove the above file, restart my computer, and reinstall the software. The reinstall didn't go smoothly the first time or two (early on, it said Illustrator, Photoshop, etc could not be installed..) so I just closed ALL programs, and tried again) and finally everything works, or seems to!
    From what I read on a Mac forum with the same problem, it seems like I might not have had to uninstall/reinstall the whole suite (which I wish I'd tried, because it would have saved me nearly 2 hours).
    But at any rate, everything seems to be working.  I wrongly assumed the PC version would have had a different culprit file to be removed.  I wish I'd searched my hard drive for the AdobePCD folder earlier.  But...now I am happy.
    Cheers, and I hope this post might be of some help to a poor unfortunate lad with the same problem I had.

  • Licensing for this product has expired (I paid for CS4)

    I bought Adobe Creative Suite 4 (Design Premium) in mid November 2008. After installing and entering the serial number, all was well until this morning.
    Now when I try to launch any CS4 application I am given the pop up:
    License Expired
    Licensing for this product has expired
    I corrected permissions and re-started. No change.
    I tried the License Recovery Launcher to reset my serial number. No change.
    Restarted, tried LRL again. No change.
    Called Customer Service in India, after 12 minutes on hold cueing, and a further 18 minutes explaining the situation to the technical service rep, including a really painful ESL lesson over and over again. I was told "You need to speak with our Mac expert", another 20 minutes on hold and I gave up. They wore me down!
    Searched for a solution using Google. None found.
    Should I un-install CS4? Is this the solution?
    Any ideas?
    This is my first Adobe purchase and I am less than impressed, I thought dealing with Dell Hell CS in India was terrible. Adobe needs to look at their CS experience, copy Apple and we are all happy at least in my 12 years using Apple products.
    So, solutions....suggestions?
    Cheers.

    I found an easy fix for this. I have CS4 on Windows7 but I think the same principle will
    apply for Mac:
    1. Change your system clock to a date that you knew your CS4 product was working
    2. You should be able to launch your CS4 product now
    3. From your product's Help menu (I am using Illustrator CS4), click on Deactivate
    4. Check the option that will remove your software license key (note: you will NEED your software license key to enter it again so make sure you have a valid one before you do this.)
    5. Proceed through Deactivation.
    6. Exit Illustrator
    7. Change your system clock back to today's date
    8. Relaunch Illustrator
    9. You will be asked for your serial number / license key
    10. All will be well (I hope...it worked for me)

  • CS4  'Licensing for this product has expired'

    This problem relates to a new install. Taken just about the entire weekend to get this problem sorted and still no closer. I have the trial DVD and trying to get to grips with it for evaluation. It's loaded fine on my desktop, but my laptop...totally different story.
    I get a message 'Licensing for this product has expired' and I can't run that program. However its only in some programs in CS4 not in all, as other run fine but after doing a reinstall to fix it, the problem just seems to moves to another program; so first time I got it on Illustrator and Dreamweaver and now after reinstall it changes so now its on Flash and Contribute, but all other programs work perfectly well (this has happened 5 or 6 times, Ive reinstalled that often!).
    1. I run Vista Home Premium on a new powerful laptop that exceeds all requirements with plenty of spare disk space. Its so new (prob 6 weeks old)that there were just a few new programs on (Office '07 and couple other programs, no Adobe programs except Reader 8.0)
    2. The laptop was partitioned by me c=vista d=docs p=program files, and its here on P that I've loaded CS4. I have this same set up on my work desktop which is identical in processor (intel core)and memory/RAM to the laptop and runs CS4 perfectly and was installed from the same DVD (trial version bought from Adobe for evaluation). Problem is need it on the laptop to complete the evaluation, being away from the office
    3. I've never moved the installation, its just stayed on P
    4. I've not restored
    5. I've validated no hardware issues via diagnotics and bad sector checks with professional tools, all other programs work prefectly
    6. I check Flexnet is working and started (set to manual)
    7. Yes I have permission all run as adminstrator etc..,
    8. I've tried running the CS4 programs from Program files/application - makes no difference
    9. I've uninstalled (using control panel/uninstall and then the remove tool found on support at http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html) and reinstalled as well as uninstalled and reinstalled via desktop following support tutorial (http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb403963) makes no difference other than moving the error to another program
    10. Yes I made sure no other program could interfere during install closing all anti-virus and programs in start-up which might effect this
    11. I did try using the adobe support advisor tool - gave no answers or log, and our software supplier said even Adobe reckon its a rubbish tool..
    12. Finally I did run the Licensing Repair Tool - no effect (run several times, after reboot)
    13. As the disk had just run on my desktop I have to presume the DVD is fine, but cleaned it anyway and it looks fine
    I'm out of ideas...

    I'm experiencing the same problem.
    I'm running Windows XP, sp3
    uninstalled CS3 so that I could install CS4
    install appeared successful, but launching any product produces error message "Licensing for this product has expired"
    I called installation support and found they inspire zero confidence. Two techs gave me two different answers, when I asked where the steps were documented the answer was they aren't and no we can't send them to you via email.  The supervisor said, "we just try something, if that doesn't work call back and we'll try something else." She, at least, pointed me to a couple of TechNotes.
    Here's what I have tried so far:
    I've run the Licensing Service Update
    I've followed the steps for Solutions 1, 2, 4, 5 in TechNote KB405970
    Neither worked, so I have uninstalled CS4 and am about to try more drastic measures.
    Does anyone know if the CS4 Clean Script will solve this problem? KB406241
    The suggested last resort is to uninstall ALL Adobe applications (I use several in addition to CS4: FM, LR, Elements) and to follow the steps in KB401401. This involves running the CS3 Clean Script. Installation support said to run it twice at level 2 and twice at level 4 (nuclear).
    I foresee that this will take hours. So any suggestions that will save time and solve the problem are very welcome.
    Thanks,
    Patti
    UPDATE: 6/8/09
    Hours of wasted time. But finally working. The problem seems to have been a serial number that had, indeed, expired. As an Adobe Partner I have a couple of different serial numbers and the one I tried locked me out. As this was the first time I had installed CS4 on this system it didn't occur to me that it was a date issue. It seems that smartcat's post of 1/22/09 would have been good to try.
    But no, I was working with installation support and so uninstalled everything, ran CS3 Clean Script and reinstalled. A further problem was caused by being told to install a trial version as English (International). If you have a US serial number you must choose English (US) or it will not recognize the serail number as valid.
    Lesson learned: I need to keep better track of my serial numbers. Feature request: Adobe, please don't lock us out when serial numbers have expired. Provide an option to deactivate and enter a valid serial number.
    Sigh,
    Patti

    New #AJAVideo Mac & Windows Plug-Ins for @Adobe #CS6 now available! Read more http://bit.ly/IfTKL9 download http://bit.ly/JcwWfx

    First off - yay.
    In the little amount of time I have had to test, the first thing I notice is that the video out to my ext. monitor seems to lag by a few frames from the program monitor in Pr.  AJA support is great in their help, but I'm wondering before I bother them, is anyone else seeing this - is there a setting to be tweaked? 
    Also, the video out is looking a touch soft to me - I have a Flanders Scientific Grade 1 monitor, so it is not the hardware.  I may need to test this a bit more with other footage, but it was my first impression.  Wonder if the settings here need to be tweaked as well.
    I had visions that Transmit would output the hoverscrub, but it looks like you have to click on the clip and play back before it is displayed exernally.  But, on second thought, I don't know how that would be utilized, since the video out would have to suddenly switch every time you hover your mouse over the clips in the bins.
    Having said all that, I am thrilled to finally have this driver!
