Photoshop looks for /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat. Just rename the file and place it in that folder. You don't need those custom license location instructions.

You can find the location of files that a program uses yourself with strace(1).
For example,
Code:
strace -efile ./photoshop



RE: Photoshop 3.0 licensing - Anonymoose - 07-22-2025

Using strace gives me “ERROR: tracer already exists”
And it does see the license.dat, but gives me an error of “Feature start date is in the future”
License.dat does have “01-jan-0” in it, and I tried changing it to 01-jan-90 which then gives me “Feature has expired”. Even the release month doesn’t work (01-nov-94) What’s the sweet spot?


RE: Photoshop 3.0 licensing - protocol7 - 07-22-2025

You can't edit the date in the dat file. It's part of the license. Set your date to any time from 1998 onwards.

Oh! Shoot, didn’t think to just change the time. Duh, thanks!
