HazMatt Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 So iMessage wasn't working for me and I was attempting to fix it by editing org.chameleon.Boot.plist and installing some NVRAM files. It didn't work, but I did succeed in borking my Adobe CS 5.5 installation. Now whenever I launch Photoshop or Dreamweaver I get the Adobe Activation prompting me to enter a new serial number or retrying the activation. Retrying fails, and I don't have another serial number (we have a legitimate copy of CS 5.5, where the SN is only installed on my and my wife's computers, which is allowed). So, I'm positive Adobe thinks I am trying to use this on a new computer or something. I've tried reverting the changes and even replaced some Adobe files from a backup of my boot volume from yesterday, restarted, and I'm getting the same problem when I launch an Adobe app. Do I have to go crawling back to Adobe and beg them to reset a license activation? Here's a screenie: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazMatt Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 Well, I chatted with an Adobe employee tonight and kindly asked them to fix the problem, and they opened up another activation slot for me. So, next time I mess with things I shouldn't be messing with, I'll be sure to deactivate software that relies on things like serial numbers and stuff. Ugh.
