Return code 20 relates to a failure in applying the licence. This could be related to the prov.xml file being used or a problem with the licensing files already on the system. Check that the path to the license is accessible.

For more detailed information on the error, check the oobelib.log file located in:

  • ~/Library/Logs (Mac)
  • %temp% (Windows)

If the log file shows errors like  

06/28/17 13:16:13:410 | [ERROR] |  |  |  | SLCoreService |  |  | 3118740 | Fail to read license file [38028845.lic].

this suggests that a licence (.lic) file already on the system can’t be modified. Move the named licence file to another location and run adobe_prtk again.
