    SOLVED these stupid error

    these is what i do to repair:

    i have dreamweaver cs4 on two pc installed and i searched registry on working pc and resolved these issue ...

    1. verify if FNPLICENSINGSERVICE.EXE-15CB8EAD.pf is in c:\windows\prefetch\
    and if is not there copy there ...

    2. in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Macrovision Shared\FLEXnet Publisher
    put files (if already there don't override) :

        1.  FNPLicensingService.exe
        2.  fnp_registrations.xml

       

    3. add reg.reg, 1.reg, 2.reg (or make one single reg. if those files are where i pointed them then only with reg files should work !!!)

    and voila no error 147:20

    mine proablem was that error appear after a windows repair and the fnplicensingService.exe won't even exist
    in services.msc

    AND AFTER RESTART SHOULD WORK LIKE A CHARM !!!!

    i will upload somewhere those files ... but since then i will put the regs continut .. (excuse muy eng.)

    Hi everyone I had the same 147:20 licensing error 4 times in Photoshop cs4 trial, I re-started the computer, but it still came up with the error. Before I removed the program I tried this step 1st: If you are or have an administrator account, just right click the program and 'Run as Administrator’. This worked for me and did not show the error. Hope this solves the problem.
    Take care!

    I just was attempting to use Trial on Dreamweaver cs4 trial, and I seem to get the same error as everyone else. 147:20, I am also told to restart my computer and if that doesent work, then get in touch with IT , support... My 2 cents... good luck all...

    Not "everyone", Jake. I understand how frustrating this could be. But remember, the enormous majority of users who don't experience this issue won't post to let others know

    Follow the steps described in the technical support document mentioned above in this thread, which includes an update for the licensing system.

    I' just got the same error trying to run the trial version of InDesign on Vista.  I get 147:20, even after rebooting, although it installed without any warnings.

    Possibly it's related to the fact that I tried to install the trial version of DreamWeaver a couple of months ago.  This program wouldn't install, however, no matter what I did, so I never even got as far as activating the trial.

    I really think it's a big problem you can't get tech support for trial versions, because it's very unlikely anybody would realistically buy the real version if the trial one didn't work.

    Thanks,

    I had to give up on the program. I had my IT out here and they told me that Adobe video products where over kill and 90% had the same problems. The only program I have on me pc is Adobe reader and I am surprised it works at all. I found another program that does the same as after effects which worked the first time a 3/4 less than the price Adobe charges for After effects.

    Good luck
