So you installed Adobe Creative Suite Master Collection or any of its other applications, and now you can’t even open up any of these programs. You’re probably receiving the now semi-infamous “Licensing for this product has expired” pop up error.

This error will more than likely affect the use of the following programs:

Adobe InDesign CS4
Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended
Adobe Illustrator CS4
Adobe Flash CS4 Professional
Adobe Dreamweaver CS4
Adobe Fireworks CS4
Adobe Contribute CS4
Adobe After Effects CS4
Adobe Premiere Pro CS4
Adobe Soundbooth CS4
Adobe OnLocation CS4
Adobe Encore CS4

Don’t worry, because some guys over at who knows where got the fix that will save you many hours of headaches. The problem lies within the “amtlib.dll” file in each of the CS4 application directories. However, downloading a simple fix and updating each of the files with a newer one can solve this problem.

Step 1:
Download this file it includes both amtlib.dll files the second file(64bit) is only to be added to photoshop (64bit) folder the rest use the regular amtlib.dll file:If you download this file skip to step 3 !
Code:

other files for step 2 using the " crack.bat ". Personally i like doing in manually its only like 17 files you need to change:

Step 2:
Run the “crack.bat” file and allow for the file to be copied over to all the directories. This should fix all your problems.

If the above two steps didn’t work, try the following:
Step 3:
Search for: “amtlib.dll” in the Adobe folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\.

Step 4:
Replace all the “amtlib.dll” files in each of the Adobe folders with the file in the downloaded fix.

ONLY do the following steps if the previous steps didn’t work for you.
Step 5:
Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc, open the “hosts” file there with Notepad.

Step 6:
Add the following lines at the end of the file:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 practivate.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 ereg.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 activate.wip3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 wip3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 3dns-3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 3dns-2.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 adobe-dns.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 adobe-dns-2.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 adobe-dns-3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 ereg.wip3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 activate-sea.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 wwis-dubc1-vip60.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 activate-sjc0.adobe.com
::1 localhost

Step 7:
Go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache
and delete the file “cache.DB”

Step 8:
Enter a new serial number for the applications and open up any Adobe Creative Suite program.
Now everything should be working fine.
