Ever since the Adobe update of Pshop 13.0.3 (CS6), every 3rd or 4th launch starts with a window asking if I want to continue with my trial or buy the damned app. Well hellooooo, CS6 was bought and registered last September! But now I have to re-enter the serial # before I can get to my work.

So I just engaged an Adobe CSR via their chat feature and explained the problem. After giving him the proper ID and reg info, I get this:
Quote:
Vajid: this is a technical issue and right now here is no executive available from the relevant team.

I ask Vajid if this is a known issue that may be addressed in a forthcoming patch or update — and I get:
Quote:
Vajid: this is a technical issue and right now here is no executive available from the relevant team.

I ask him, if he's a support rep, why he can't answer my question. He replies:
Quote:
Vajid: this is a technical issue and right now here is no executive available from the relevant team.

So I thank him for his time and suggest he consider moving to the U.S to run for Congress! crazy

Automated I can deal with. A doofus who can't think past a script is another matter.

Yuppers.

Might try this. Not the same error but check anyway to make sure you're calling home. It's got stuff for Win and Mac.

Maybe this?

I wonder if Deactivating from the Help menu then re-activating would work?

Fully uninstalling the whole suite and reinstalling may work.

HTH

Yeesh! Some of that looks like it was written by Vajid himself! eek But it does answer [sort of] my question a/b this being a known issue. It doesn't happen on every launch of every app in the suite. Mostly Pshop, and on every 3rd or 4th launch. I have a cool little app called iLicense (available via iTunes) that keeps all my software reg a click away, so finding and fee-entering the info is easy.

I'll probably give it a few more weeks to see if Adobe releases a fix because I really don't like messing around with all that deep system stuff. Even then, I'd probably opt for a fresh reinstall of the suite, as big of a PIA as that would be.
