Photoshop CS4 Licensing Stopped Working - Error 150:30

Hello,

   I was wondering if anyone could help me with something.  All of a sudden, my copy of Photoshop CS4 stopped working.  I am getting an error saying licensing for the product has stopped working.  It suggests restarting my computer, which I have done twice, to no avail.  I checked, and it looks like all of my CS4 programs are affected.  I know this is an older version, but everything does what I need, and I can't afford to be told to just upgrade to the latest version as a solution, right now.  Any help in resolving this would be very appreciated.  Thanks, in advance!

I have a screenshot guide set up for repairing this error if you are using a Mac. It gets to the point and shows how to use the License repair Python script. Study and carefully follow those steps.

Hi, everyone!  Thanks for the above advice.  I am at the step where Terminal should be running the License Recovery, but it said it may take a few moments and then showed a question mark.  It's just sitting at that, with a gray cursor box next to it.  No indication as to whether it has finished or anything.  Any ideas?

Never mind.  I realized it had text above it, and it was waiting for another press of Enter/Return.  Looks like it worked.  Thanks, again, everyone!
