What is error 148:3?

Windows7 64bit reports error 148:3 when trying to run Photoshop. What do I need to do to run Photoshop CS4?

Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, reinstall. your licensing system is not working. also check for any external influences that may be blocking the licensing service like virus scanners or firewalls.

  • What does Error 148:3 mean?

    Upon start up of Photoshop CS4 I get an Error 148:3. It says the program can not load and I need to restart my computer? Any idea why or how to fix this? Thanks!

    If restarting the computer doesn't clear the error, then try this:
    Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Windows

  • CS4 Error 148:3 What the hell does that mean?

    CS4 Error 148:3 What the hell does that mean?

    It's a licensing error and I'm sure the accompanying text in the warning dialog spells it out pretty clearly, despit you not caring to provide that info along with any tangible details about your system. So the only blindfire advise we can give you is this: Error "Licensing has stopped working".

  • Acrobat 9 Standard, error 148:3

    Acrobat 9 Standard, I continually get error 148:3. Telling me to uninstall and reinstall. This is unreasonable

    One post talks about this error being a license error. The post talks about going to Start and entering services.msc to get the services window. Go down and check the the FLEXnet License service is running. That may be the issue, not sure. The Adobe link for information is at http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-licensing-stopped-windows.html. Is this a stand-alone installation or something in the "cloud?" I am just referring you to what I found, not necessarily the correct answer (I have not tried it).

  • Blank line in MSCONFIG connected to error 148:3?

    Install any Adobe CS4 product on a Windows OS and the software adds some number of Startup items to MSCONFIG including CS4ServiceManager, AdobeCollabSync and a blank line with no Startup file name or Command Line entry.
    Until Adobe's products added those Startup items, I had no software loading from my MSCONFIG Startup group. The blank line was disconcerting so I unchecked it. That, apparently, triggered the dreaded "error 148:3" message about a licensing problem. That error can be resolved by running LicenseRecover.exe, a file available for download from somewhere on the Adobe.com site. However, as long as the blank line in MSCONFIG is unchecked, CS4 products will continue to not run and will continue to display the 148:3 error message.
    So...what does the blank line in MSCONFIG do? What is it? How is it that Adobe can add an unnamed Startup item to MSCONFIG?

  • Error 148.3 (licensing for this product has stopped working)

    I received error 148.3 (licensing for this product has stopped working). I looked up the error, but the fix says it is only for "... Creative Suite 3 or 4 products, Acrobat 8 or 9, Photoshop Elements 6, 7 or 8, Director, and Technical Communication Suite." and RoboHelp is not mentioned. Is RoboHelp part of the Technical Communication Suite?  I tried phoning support, but the person had not even heard of RoboHelp. Does anyone know how I rebuild the license file? Note that Acrobat professional comes up okay. I need to compile soon for a product release and feel so frustrated.
    Thanks,
    Jacqui

    And we're back. Writing the question made me check what the Technical Communication Suite is. It includes RoboHelp, so I went ahead with the LicenseRecover as recommended on the Adobe site and the system now works.

  • My Photoshop CS4 has stopped working - Error 148:3 (Licensing has stopped working).....help!

    My Photoshop CS4 has stopped working - Error 148:3 (Licensing has stopped working).....help please?
    I've not changed anything since the last time I used it but it's just refusing to work.

    Ed,
    It seems that there might be some gremlin in the licensing module. The PS CS4 board has several similar instances. I do not know exactly what the problem is, but this should be an easy reset by Adobe. It has worked for the PS users and requires one free telephone call. I am with Harm on this. I doubt that many, if any, users can be of much help. The installation issues *used* to be simple and quick, but I have not had to make that call, since Illustrator 3. Have your S/N handy. If you purchased from the Adobe Store, a receipt # might come in handy too. Once your product has been verified, you'll probably be asked to enter a key, and away you go.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Error 148:3 and FlexNet Licensing Service

    I have been bothered with Windows event  of  "event 7000, adfsservice not
    started" during boot-up.
    After long investigation I found killing "FLEXNET Licensing Servive" resolves
    this problem.
    Note that this service was not and is not running ever on my machine anyway.
    On the other hand, I occasionaly experience Error 148:3 when starting CS4.
    (I am a licensed user :-)  )
    Thie error happens before and after the modification of FLEXNET disablement.
    I, today, was informed that the FLEXNET is for CS4 licensing check.
    Now,  
    Is the error 148:3 related to my machines no FLEXNET serivice?
    If so, how can I resolve this problem?
    Tak

    I had the same error and going through Control Panel / Admin / Services solved the problem.  I can now open DreamWeaver.
    Thank you.
    Oh, for what it is worth, just before this error 148:3 happened to me in DW, I upgraded from IE 6 to IE 8, and then added SP3 to my XP Pro operating system.

  • Error:  148:3 when I try to run PPro CS4

    Trying to open PPro CS4.  Won't run & I get "Error: 148:3".  This happened at the same time I had to reauthorize WinXP  (can't figure out why I had to do that).  Yes, it's an older system, but it does exactly what we want.  Upgrading would not be cost effective for what we are now doing.  I need to get this running ASAP.  Or find a quality but inexpensive way to capture analog video to AVI without sync problems.  Thank you all!

    >quality but inexpensive way to capture analog video to AVI without sync problems
    What hardware do you use in the digitizing process?
    I have NOT used either, but many say to try these for SD capture http://windv.mourek.cz/ or http://www.exsate.com/products/dvcapture/
    I have NOT used it, but many say to try this for HDV capture

  • I have Adobe Master Collection CS4 and my Contribute won't open showing error 148:3

    Please help with CONTRIBUTE Error 148:3

    When something works one day, but not the next, then something has changed. You task is to find out what has changed.
    It can be something behind the scenes, like an OS update, that kills the video, or the audio driver. It can be major, like installing new software, that does something to existing software.
    First thing that I would do would be to get the very latest video and audio drivers for your system.
    If that does not work, then you might wish to look at Restore Points, going back to when it last worked.
    There are some other things that might give you a clue as to what is happening, when PrPro does not open. This ARTICLE might give you such a clue, or clues. Or, it might not, depending on what is causing the failure to launch.
    One other thing to look at, and think about is what is PrPro trying to load. VST's (often added by other programs, especially Audio programs) can bring PrPro to its knees. Watch the little line of black text, as PrPro starts to load. What is the last line, before it disappears? You might have to point your video camera at the screen to capture what is being loaded, as it can go by quickly.
    Good luck,

  • How do I correct error 148.3 for Illustrator CS4?

    How do I correct error 148.3 in order to open Illustrator CS4?

    Gen,
    I am afraid error 148.3 has never been reported here, so quite possibly no one will know what it is about.
    Unless someone comes up with a cleverer suggestion, you may have a look at this general list of things to try(of which 5) may be the least likely to help).
    You may try the following (you may have tried/done some of them already) and see whether it helps (the following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file; 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences):
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder http://www.bugge.com/Family-and-friends/Illy/illy.html (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
