I was having a problem launching PShop 9 on a dual g5 10.4.7.

After allowing PShop to do it’s auto update thing, I started getting the following error:

"Your adobe photoshop user name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid. The application cannot continue and must now exit."

the only option is to click "OK" then the app quits

I tried the following things, and Pshop would not launch:

1) deleted /User/myname/library/prefs – com.adobe.photoshop. and the adobe photoshop folder in the same hierarchy
2) ran repair perms
3) created a new user to test
4) tried to use safe boot
5) reinstalled app (9.0)

However, then I ran diskwarrior, just because, and lo and behold, my non-launching PS 9 started launching and working etc…

So, if you are having weird problems launching photoshop, definitley give diskwarrior a try, it worked for me…
