Question

Bridge says I do not have a license to open Camera Raw

I want to copy my Camera Raw-settings to other photos in Adobe Bridge but the programme won't let me do it. A warning sign appears saying "Camera Raw-editing is not activated. If you want to edit in Camera Raw you must have a license for a qualified product", even though I have a valid full Adobe-subscription. Every program is updated, including CR. I have a correct file format from a supported camera model. I can even open the .CR2-files in Camera Raw through double clicking on them in Bridge, but I cannot open CR through Bridge's the menu or copy the Cam Raw-settings to other photos? It has worked flawlessly before. 

 

This function saves me so much time, thank you in advance to anyone who can help me out with this.

Did this ever get fixed because out of nowhere I have the exact same issue. I can get camera raw to open from bridge, but i can't copy the settings to other raw files like I used to be able to. Help???

Still doesn't work. Followed instructions from the link. But thanks for reaching out!

Are you using current versions of CC, or mixing older and newer?

I also have encountered this recent error even though my license is valid. All other applications work, except for this. 

 

What sometimes works for me is opening the Creative Cloud Desktop and launching Bridge from there. I know it's not the most elegant solution, but works so far.
