Final Solution for Adobe CS4 “license stopped working”

License Stopped Working

Adobe CS4 License Stopped Working Solution

after dealing with this error and lots of googling finally i found a working solution,

I had Adobe CS4 installed on my mac and after a restore with time machine I had this annoying error Adobe CS4 “license stopped working” with error codes 139, 6 and so on…
every how to was referring to adobe support site that as of now it is down, the link is down here:

you can use those Adobe CS4 CS5 clean up tools and stuff but none of them worked for me, what you should do is:

  • Delete “cache.db” in “/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD/cache”
  • Delete “FLEXnet Publisher” folder in “/Library/Preferences”

and you’re done! now open your Adobe CS4 product and maybe you should enter the license key again but everything is working now! a simple solution! ;-)
