You probably need to do what the message tells you to do.

Everytime I open Photoshop, it tells me that there is an error with the reference code 205. I need photoshop for work and pay a lot for this. I would like to solve the problem now. This is very frustrating, how can I fix this problem??

Hi,

We're sorry about the trouble due to error 205 while trying to launch Photoshop. Would you mind telling us which version of Photoshop you're using along with your computers operating system? Did you start experiencing this issue after a Photoshop update or an operating system update? 

You can try signing out of the Creative Cloud desktop app & signing back in. You can also check the steps suggested here: https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/licensing-errors.html

[Francisco Raf22968118p1iy]

debido a que la app genera marca error, no me permite revisar la versión de photoshop. 

Le puedo comenter que es la versión más reciente ya que en su momento eliminé el programa y lo volví a instalar como una manera de intentar solucionar el problema

La versión de Creative Cloud Application es 5.6.5.58

Hi @jpedrodp2003, sorry you are seeing this.

I think the solution is to log out/in of the CreativeCloud desktop app, did this solve the issue?

Thank you,

I get the Error message 205 wheneven I try to open a psd file. How can I fix this? Latest version of PS CC 2022, Miscrosoft Win 10, just click open with, or double click to open the psd file. Expect the file to open without errors.

[Derek Cross]

Try signing out of the Creative Cloud desktop app, and then signing back in.

[CoryShubert]

Hi @Cha Cha, an 205 error code usually means a downloaded file was corrupted.

Are you able to open other files without this error, where did you get the .psd file that you are trying to open?

Thank you,

[Cha Cha]

Thank you, that worked.

The steps I followed to solve the issue:

1. Double-check OS-Update
2. Remove old-version-apps
3. Restart the system

Olá. Também estava com esse erro, consegui resolver fazendo o logoff da minha conta da Creative Cloud. Logei de novo e abri o Photoshop normalmente.

[Valérie011]

Bonjour, Je ne parviens plus à accéder à Photoshop. Le code erreur est 205.

Mon pc tourne sous windows 11.

Il semble que ce problème soit consécutif à une mise à jour cumulative de windows, comme c'est malheureusement trop souvent le cas...

D'avane merci pour votre aide.

I have installed Photoshop version 23.3.2 installed. My display driver is the AMD Radeon R7 450. I now receive a popup when I open photoshop telling me to upgrade my display driver. I go to the AMD website to update it, there's no updates available so I click a link to downgrade which then leads to an error because windows wants to update to version 27.20.21003.8013 for my display driver. I alm also on Windows 11. When I open photoshop it tells me to contact customer support and reference code 205. I tried downgrading photoshop to see if this fixes the problem and it won't. what can be done to fix this? I can't use photoshop anymore because of this bug. 

thanks,

Mike Irvan

First, try disabling GPU in the Preferences (Performance tab). Any better?
You can try this too: in Preferences>Technology Previews, check the box 'Deactivate Native Canvas' and uncheck 'Enable Native Canvas Rulers' options, then restart Photoshop. Does this work?
If not, recalibrate and build a new ICC display profile, the old one might be corrupted.
If you are using software/hardware for this task, be sure the software is set to build a matrix not LUT profile, Version 2 not Version 4 profile.

If turning OFF GPU works, it's a GPU bug and you need to contact the manufacturer or find out if there's an updated driver for it.

Hallo ,

Auf meinem Notebook läuft Windows 10, Version21H2. Die App Photoshop V23.3.2, Illustrator V26.31 und InDesign V17.3 sind zur Zeit nicht einsatzfähig und bekomme ich die Fehlermeldung "Referenzcode 205", die ich niergendswo auf der Adobe Seite die Lösung dafür finde. Sogar auf der Supportseite!!

Gibt es irgendwo eine Anleitung, wie man den Fehler beheben kann. Ich werde sehr dankbar, wenn irgendjemand eine Lösung dafür kennt.

MFG,

Alireza

Hi @Alireza134, launch your Creative Cloud ap, log out and then back in... did this fix the issue?

Thank you,

I'm not able to disable anything due to this popup. it won't let me access the menu options in photoshop. I click the link in the popup and photoshop just closes. I tried to also run photoshop as administrator and i still get the popup.  thanks.
