Hi all, I have a valid serial number Creative Suite I had installed on my MAC with no problems.
Then, my laptop had a screen problem and the Apple Technician did a reset of the NAVRam.
After that, the first time that I started the application of PhotoShop started to turn it on again.
I tried several times without success.
Desperate, I uninstalled all Adobe software and installed it again. Once again, not possible to install.
The error message indicates that the license is invalid.How can I make it work again?

Hello, I bought Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard in 2012, my iMac had problems for my apple store reset I lost all my applications. 3 minutes after completing installation, I get this QUIT SAFARI CLOUD HISTORIC message to complete the installation, I called Adobe but refer me, it is a forum. I really don't want to pay an extra $ every month I paid for this package, I want to just use it. Can someone guide me how to install best regards, Michel
Hi Michel,.
Please open the monitory of activity by going to Applications > utilities on your Mac. You can search any processes with the name of SAFARI COULD HISTO and close it. More detailed instructions can be found here: error with Adobe products: close the following applications.
Also, make sure you reinstall your CS5.5 disc or direct download. If you use Time Machine or similar backup to restore your programs on your computer reformatted, you may encounter issues. Adobe programs do not correctly migrate due to hidden files permissions.
Let us know if that fixes the problem reinstall CS5.5or if you need assistance.
Best,
