These problems continue to plague Adobe customers. I’ve spent most of the week trying to get CS3 Web Premium reinstalled after having the “Licensing has quit working” problem. The apps ran fine on Win 7 64 bit for about 3 months before I got the error after an adobe CS3 update was installed. Following the support directions to uninstall and reinstall CS3 resulted in failed installations. Finally Adobe support said they give up and I should upgrade to CS4. Now CS4 won’t install either! Running thei “cleanup” utility messed up my Office 2007 installation so I had to restore the hard drive from a backup (I performed the backup just before I tried the “cleanup”. AARGG

I tried what you said but still no luck. Acrobat 9 Professional is what keeps failing. After that, Photoshop is the only program that will run. No Indesign, Illustrator, etc. It’s a real shame that Adobe can’t fix problems like these.

I have the same problem as yours but mine is Photoshop CS4. I tried what you said above but it didn’t work. I tried installing it for almost 10 times. But it’s always failed. Same as the CS3 Master Suite. It only installed Acrobat 8. The rest are failed installation. What should I do? =(
