Illustrator error on boot-up

I got the dreaded "Error 15:30" at Photoshop (CS 4) boot-up. Followed a few instructions and re-installed. Bingo - Photoshop works again!

I also trashed Ilustrator (CS 4) which also had error 15:30. I recovered Illustrator from Time Machine and re-booted. Only to get another error sign. "Error: 5".

Please help.

    That's never going to work. All apps must be properly re-installed for the licensing/ activation to work correctly. Pulling it from a backup is useless.

    Which system are we talking about?

    I've moved this from the poorly named Community Help forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the GIllustrator forum so that proper help can be offered.
