The latter half of last week and now early this week, I have just been hit with a lot of system problems and a lot of down time. To sum this up, my Adobe Creative Suite then my Microsoft Office suites stopped working. Both indicated licensing and user access permissions were no longer valid. In fact, my licensing was fine, it just stopped working properly on my system.

I use 3 licensed applications extensively and two of them failed in the same day. Fortunately, all the open source applications I use don’t and probably will never have a similar problem. Just to be fair, I think the Office problem started because of the fixes necessary to get the creative suite working.
