Error 213:11 A problem has occured with the licensing of this product

Hi all,

Running Photoshop CC 2017 on a networked PC with corporate license. I get the error 213:11 "A problem has occurred with licensing of this product", and asking me to restart. Problem continues.

If I log in as local administrator to this PC the problem goes away. If another user (with standard rights, equivalent to those of my standard network profile) logs in to this machine they don't get the licensing error.

It only happens on my standard network profile logging in to this machine.

I have tried deleting my local profile, but on logging back in, the problem remains.

I have tried the fixes suggested on this forum and none of them have worked.

So....I'm pretty stumped. It's clearly something to do with my local profile, perhaps the Windows registry, but who knows? Someone may have an idea, why just one profile generates the error on this PC, and why it happens even after the local profile has been completely deleted.

Would be very grateful for any ideas.

Paul

I do not have the PCD folder; nor do I have the SLData folder. I have a PDF folder.

I've used elements11 for years and suddenly get an error 213:11 code. I tried several fixes including deleting the PCD and SLDfolders also the patch for licensing fix tool, the comand prompt closes quickly, but nothing helps. This is my home computer and I am the administrator. Help please.

Hi, Paul. Jonathan Reiter here... I tried running my copy as an admin, and I got it to open and I've already been able to alter and save some photo files... Hope this works for you... Thanks for suggesting this to me, however indirectly...

I was also able to get the program to work after receiving this error by running the app as an administrator. It would appear that the error is some kind of permission/access problem.

Hi Sahil,

I have ensured I have write access to all folders in C:\Program Data\Adobe.

This appears to be the only recommendation in the above thread that you recommended.

I'm afraid it makes no difference at all to the problem!

I am completely stuck with this.

Best wishes,

Paul
