Photoshop Cs4 error 148:3

Posted on:

July 20th, 2009

This post will go over why you might see the Photoshop CS4 error 148:3. I will show you how to resolve the error.

I just recently had an issue with Photoshop because I disabled Flexnet Licensing service on my computer. Basically the 148:3 Error means that the FLEXnet Licensing service in Windows is not running.

To start it go into services, right click FLEXnet Licensing and start it. If it is not set to automatic do so now.

*UPDATE* A person posted they couldn’t find the services. In Windows Vista/7 just go to the “START” menu. In the search box type “services”. In Windows XP Go into “Control Panel -> Administrative tools -> Services”. Hope this helps!.

Voila. The Photoshop Cs4 Error 148:3 is now fixed.

Excellent …solved my problem with Dreamweaver. Had been under the bonnet in Services shutting down what I assumed were superfluous services. Thanks once again!

Thanks! I pirated photoshop and the crack incorrectly renamed the file that that service traced to, I almost thought I was going to have to buy photoshop O:

Thank you so much for this! I re-installed photoshop before even trying to find help, but now I see that this would have been a lot easier all along ^^
