Adobe Software Expired Message

[TmC]

Hi,
I've been looking on the net since the "Product License has Expired" warning came out for ALL Adobe Products, including my Web Premium Edition of Creative Suite v3.

Untill now no solutions has been proposed (no new keygens or such) so here is the question: am I the only one that have this kind of problem?

I never had a beta of photoshop on the system, just installed CS3 Web and then, when problem came out, after 1 sept, uninstalled everything, ran adobe cleanup utility and reinstalled again, but same thing "Product License has Expired".

So it seems it is not a problem related to my machine. Does anyone have the same problem?

Wzor. net has, in the recent past, released "keygens" for most of those products, and even the download of volume licenced copies, with no need to "activate, but you have to be a member to access them now.

Have you tried any tools such as Filemon and/or Regmon to try to catch where it is reading the information which shows the installer that you had installed the program before, even though you "think" you have "removed" everything and "cleaned" your registry??? Quite obviously there is a hidden file, most certainly in the registry, which is still there.

Filemon and Regmon are freely available, now from M$ itself, for you to use for "investigation" of such questions.

i thought about that, but as far as i understand, it is a problem of the keygen that generates a serial that expires after the 1 of sept...

I have CS2 and CS3 installed on my machine and running without problem. I've never noticed a keygen from WZor "expire." However, I have never actually attempt to use it with a Trial "download". They have had the software "available" on their site. I tried the Web Premium and then the Web Master's Collection versions. I've successfully used Adobe Acrobate with their keygens without problem also.

I solved the problem with the AGAiN Keygen. The ZWT KeyGens generates expired serials, at least for me.

If you don't mind a dirty patch, open up Adobelm.dll in olly and patch

Only problem is the first time you load up distiller(after a reboot) (ie, print to pdf), it says that a valid license is not present. you just retry, and then it works. Don't have the time to sort this part out....I can stand quickly hitting retry once every blue moon!
This definitely works for Acrobat - not too sure about the other products, but the procedure being patched is called "AdobeLM_License_Check" so my guess is it would work for other apps.
