  • How to Fix Adobe’s “Licensing for this product has stopped working” Error

    The other day my MacBook Pro strangely stopped booting. No worries, I just restored from a backup and all was well… That is until I tried to use Dreamweaver CS4, when I was greeted by this lovely visage:

    “Licensing for this product has stopped working."

    Oh really? That’s wonderful, thanks Adobe.

    Now the instructions I’m going to give you can be found on Adobe’s website, but I had a heck of a time trying to find them, hopefully this will make things easier for you if you run into this error.

    The solution is actually pretty straight forward:

    1. Using Finder, navigate to /Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/FLEXnet.
    2. Control+Click on the FLEXnet folder, and then select Get Info.
    3. Expand the Sharing & Permissions section.
    4. Click on the Details option to show the various owner and group options.
    5. Click the lock icon in the lower right corner. Type in your administrator username and password when prompted and click OK.
    6. Change your username to have Read & Write permissions.
    7. Change admin to have Read & Write permissions.
    8. Change Everyone to have Read & Write permissions.
    9. Click the Gear icon and select Apply To Enclosed Item. (all those steps can be found on Adobe’s site http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405970.html)

    But you MUST delete adobe_00080000_tsf.data and adobe_00080000_event.log.

    After that:

    10. Close the FLEXnet Info dialog box.

    11. Launch any of the Adobe Creative Suite 4 product.

  • Keychain Access Issues in OS X 10.6.2

    After updating to 10.6.2 I’ve been running into some keychain issues, receiving errors like this one pretty much every time I try and save an item to my Keychain:

    Keychain “login” cannot be found to store “login”
    [Restore Defaults] [Cancel]

    Thankfully the fix is pretty simple.

    Open your Applications folder.
    Then go to Utilities.
    Open up Keychain Access.
    Click Keychain Access in your navigation bar, and select Keychain First Aid.
    Run the Repair function.
    Then run the Verify function.

    That should fix things.

  • Latest Update to Facebook for iPhone Breaks Push?

    I just installed the latest version of Facebook’s iPhone app and ever since then have been seemingly getting push notifications for someone else’s account.

    Anyone else seeing this?
