Question

License is no longer working Error - 150:30 - CS4

I have seen this question here but have not seen a solution.  I recently (grudgingly) upgraded to Lion 10.7

Now all my CS4 applications won't opne and give me this error that the license is no longer working!  I have gone through all the fixes that Adobe recommends and nothing works.  The only thing I have not done is uninstall everything and reinstall - I am really afraid to do that.

Has anyone found a solution to this?  I am really upset and depend on Dreamweaver and Photoshop for my work!

    Did you use the Licensing Repair Tool?

    Yes, two problems here:

    First the application launch that they tell you to drag into the terminal has a line through it that means it is not compatibel with Lion

    Second, I did it anyway - followed their exact instructions in the terminal and got error messages that the syntax was wrong - when I tried removing the space after sudo python that Adobe said you needed, it still didbn't work.  I am going crazy with this.  I hate adobe!!!

    Yes, as I stated in my original post, I tried everything except uninstall which I am very afraid to do = plus I would have to uninstall and reinstall ALL my adobe products.  There must be a fix for this!  It was working fine a week ago!


    One interim option would be to download the CS5.5 Trial and get 30 days use out of it while sorting out the CS4 issues.

    It'll install into its own folder so it won't affect your CS4  installation.

    With CS6 out next week, you can also Trial that when it's available.
