Ok, so I had the photoshp CS3 beta installed. I uninstalled it and installed the full version. Everything worked fine till one day I started getting and error when I opened photoshop saying license has expired. I came online for some help and found the CS3 cleaner, used it and reinstalled everything. Still same problem. I tried to set my clock back to an earlier date and it worked. It must still have the beta info on it somewhere. What do I do about it so I don’t have to keep my system date so far behind. I am running vista x64.

Also, after running the CS3 cleaner my acrobat 8 pro has not worked and I can’t reinstall in either. It keeps locking up windows installer and saying not responding. And ever since using the cleaner my Office 2007 installation will not start unless I disable user account control. Otherwise it says it’s not installed for this user.

So be warned…Do Not use that cleaner! It will just cause problems.

Thanks for the help

fwiw I rolled back the clock, reinstalled the beta, deactivated it, uninstalled it, ran the cleaner and then installed the full version. It worked. I’ve since been told that deactivating the Beta is not necessary and I must have done something else. But <shrug> I donno – it worked for me. Just trying to help 🙂
