Error: 147:20

[kn4ma]

I get Error: 147:20 when I bring up Aftyer Effects. I tried to do a reinstall after I run all my cleaning software after uninstalling CS4. This is become a PIA.

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.

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!

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.)
