Licensing for this product has stopped working

by Jake Edwards on October 6, 2008

Does anyone else have occasional issues with the Adobe products security? It works alright, it works so well that I can’t access my applications even with my serial number. My re-install discs are an aeroplane flight and therefore currently a week away. The software doesn’t like me keeping it in two places – laptop / external drive.
Here is the scenario: my adobe discs are in a different city. I am a long way away for now. An upgrade to my music production software kills off my system. I back up my Adobe applications and reinstall the OS. I fire up my Adobe application:

This application has moved from the location in which it was originally installed. Some settings need to be repaired. Repair Now.

I repair them and try to launch them. They fall over, in a big way. I am presented with:

“Licensing for this product has stopped working.”

No opportunity to enter my serial number arises. I download a trial app from the net on top of the old one. I enter my serial number. It doesn’t work. The Adobe fixes don’t work. Great products, fantastic security; and a bit of a drag to use at the moment but a great advertisement for cloud computing.
