I have Dreamweaver CS4. I used it long time in my old computer without any problem.

Yesterday I installed it in a new computer with Windows 10. But it says "This serial number will no longer permit you to use this product".

????????????????????????????

What is that??

I have the original DVD. I used in my company until few weeks ago. Why isn't working anymore?

    Correct answer Preran

    Can you try the solutions in the following docs based on your OS?

    Error: "Licensing has stopped working" | Mac OS

    Error: "Licensing has stopped working" | Windows

    I am moving your post to a more appropriate forum for the experts here to assist you.

    The funny thing is that, in the same computer I have Virtual Box. In Virtual box is installed Windows XP.

    Then I installed the same Dreamveawer CS4 and it gives no problems. So, what is wrong?

    You need to go back and re-read what I wrote above... especially my last line

    CS4 is very OLD... Win10 is very NEW... that is not a compatible mix

    Yes, I understand. But I should expect that the program doesn't work properly or doesn't start. Not that it refuses a correct serial number.

    An idea that MAY work to install and/or run old programs in Windows 10... works for some, not for others

    -http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/15523-compatibility-mode-settings-apps-change-windows-10-a.html

    -or Run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 to assign FULL permissions may help... says Encore, but sometimes required for ALL Adobe programs (this is NOT the same as using an Administrator account)

    Invalid License http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-serial-number-valid-product.html

    -and more help in http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/invalid-serial-number-cs4.html

    However... you may never get CS4 to work with Win10

    Dear John T Smith,

    Thank you for your answer.

    I did like the link said : "Solution 2: Delete the activation database files ".

    But now : "Licensing this product has stopped working. This product has encountered a problem which requires that you restart your computer before it can be launched. If you continue to see this message after restarting your computer, please contact either your IT administrator or Adobe technical support for help, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of this screen.

    Error: 6 "

    I restarted the computer, but I still see this error message.
