Photoshop CS3 crashed and won't restart: "license for this product has stopped working".
My copy of Photoshop CS3 on Mac OS / X Yosemite suddenly crashed during usage, and when I tried to restart, I got a pop-up that said "license for this product has stopped working." I tried (twice) to reinstall the CD-ROM by following the instructions, but it did not help. How can I solve this problem?
I left the link in some way: start layout error opening Photoshop cs4 on Macbook Pro 150:30 with message 11. Any questions, let me know.
You will be running a script in the Terminal to fix the license.
Leave a space after sudo python, and then drag the script in the window.
When asked for your password, do not see the points or see the cursor to move. Enter it blind.

I opened PS3 and see a window "license for this product has stopped working". Help!
I have the PS3. A few months ago, I had an iMac 27 "10.11.2 opportunity and transferred my PS3 (plus any creative suite 3) top. There was a window that says please register in 5 days or it will be inactive (or something like that). I did what I was supposed to do and have appreciated the help of PS3 on this new iMac. Everything worked very well. Last night I shut down my computer before a separate software has been updated done and makes the iMac not able to start. The only option I found was to erase the hard drive and install using Time Machine. (I use the bad terminalogy) I did and everything was successful until I opened PS3 and see a window "license for this product has stopped working". Help! It is said one solution is to uninstall. When I went to the Adobe Uninstaller I saw NO PS3, but see icon with "Add or remove Adobe Creative Suite 3 Production Premium" with a small arrow, that I have the means to think his alias and I don't know where he lives. Can someone help me get back my PS3? Thank you!
Please stay on point and help me with my problem of PS3 and not encourage me to upgrade to what is current. I have SP6 here, but want to keep the PS3 will.
Thank you.

Whenever you retrieve from a backup Time Machine, you will break licenses and need to run a repair. I know. I did it twice. As the instructions given in the doc to Adobe using own isn't enough for someone new to the procedure, I set up a screenshot guide. Layout error 150:30 opening Photoshop cs4 on Macbook Pro
If you go through this guide to screenshot and do exactly as indicated, you won't make those mistakes. Perhaps it would be good to read first. I carefully put in place this guide, my instructions are good in their current form, do not do anything else.
In the first post #11, I forget to add a space after "sudo python" before you drag the licenserecovery.py to the command line, and I never load any type of break line or
before you drag the script. Second: In #15 if you simply slide the script into the window, it will be on the same line. What you see is the packing of command to work around the size of the window, but it is always on the same line and will run when you enter your password.
You will also see that there is a space between "python" and the script in the screenshot.
Again, if you are new to this, read first.

Get "Licensing for this product has stopped working" error on my new Mac with old Adobe software
Hi people, recently I bought a new machine and can not work how to get Illustrator cs3 or photoshop cs5 working on it...
Photoshop says "license for this product has stopped working. You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contact your COMPUTER administrator or Adobe customer support for help", which is strange, as they say some different before I tried to ask adobe support about this...
Illustrator, said the same thing.
customer support said that I have to ask here because they cannot provide support for these products.
First, you try to use a very old product on the latest operating system. So, who can create problems.
CS3 has never been tested with Mac 10.9. Thus, it may or may not work. You can always give it a try.
CS5 should work well on Mac 10.9.
Speaking of the license error, now seems that you have backed up your data using Time Machine from your old Mac and who have restored this new Mac. If so, which damaged the licenses of Adobe products.
This should help. Error "Licensing has stopped working". Mac OS
Let me know how it goes.

"License for this product has stopped working" - help
I use Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 for Mac OS X. Last week my computer crashed. I now have a new hard drive, and most of my data was restored.
However, when I try to run Dreamweaver I get a message: "license for this product has stopped working. You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product... »
Perhaps foolishly, I had never bypassed to the recording of Dreamweaver (despite periodic reminders), even if I use a legal copy, bought in the store with its own serial number, and I guess that's the reason why I now get this message.
I'm not a computer whizz-kid and nervous about what to do next, as I would not lose data or parameters.
Exactly how do we uninstall Dreamweaver? And when I reinstall I'm still currently having all my existing sites intact, as they were before?
Any guidance would be most welcome.
Thank you.
Dreamweaver CS3 uses the old system of licenses, which really blows. Licensing for CS3 applications on my computer stopped working several times, and each time, it is a task to an hour to get it up and running again.
You will need to download the licensing repair utility for your system (Windows or Macintosh).
Delete / {boot disk Volume} / Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher, via the operating system or the Terminal.
Run the "LicenseRecoveryLauncher" script provided by Adobe. When the opportunity to work normally (entry) or remove (0), press ENTER to run normally.
Reactivate your software.
You will need your serial number of product very convenient.

Adobe CS4 "a license for this product has stopped working" (error 6)
Help, please! I used the Migration Assistant to transfer all my Time Machine backup to my new MacBook Pro. When I try to open Photoshop or InDesign (CS4), it tells me that "a license for this product has stopped working". The box suggests a reboot of the computer (which doesn't) and helpfully gives me 'error 6'. (He was 150:30 of the error, but since I tried almost everything listed here ( error: 'License has stopped working' |)) Mac OS ) he has changed in error 6) She also gave me a chance once to enter my serial number, I did, only to be informed that it was not valid.
I have disabled the software Adobe CS4 on my old MacBook. The only thing I can think that I have not tried is uninstalling software and re - install, but this MacBook Pro does not come with a disk drive, so I can't install the software of my drive.
I lost three days on it, and I have a looming deadline... so I really hope you have a solution for me!
Thanks in advance!
Tell everyone you know who owns a Mac, including Apple employees... Migration of Mac and Time Machine NOT FUNCTION correctly with the Adobe program activations due to hidden folders are not included when Migration or Time Machine make their copies

Last week, I had to wipe my hard drive, reinstalling OS X 10.10.4 (then update to 10.10.5) and restore all my files. I do not often use the CS4 but I needed to open Dreamweaver CS4 just now and all first, he wanted Java Runtime 6 - that I found and installed. Now I get the 150:30 error message: a license for this product has stopped working. I have the SN of the project - it is registered. But I can not get Dreamweaver or Photoshop (or any what other applications in the package, I guess) to run. What should I do to remedy this? As I said, I do not often use CS4, but sometimes I have to get to some old files using Dreamweaver and Photoshop. So, I want to make it work.

PS CS 3 "License for this product has stopped working".
I have a mid-2010 27 "iMac OS x 10.7.5. I had a full licensed version of Photoshop CS 3 installed on this machine, since you bought it.

You must repair the problem by uninstalling and reinstalling this product or contact your COMPUTER administrator or Adobe customer support for assistance.
