What are adobe_lichelper.exe Error Messages?

adobe_lichelper.exe Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are Adobe Premiere Pro CC errors that occur during "runtime". Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these EXE errors are triggered when adobe_lichelper.exe is attempted to be loaded either when Adobe Premiere Pro CC is starting up, or in some cases already running. Runtime errors are the most common form of EXE error you will encounter using Adobe Premiere Pro CC.

In most cases, adobe_lichelper.exe runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these adobe_lichelper.exe error messages mean that Adobe Premiere Pro CC was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, Adobe Premiere Pro CC will be unable to start without resolving these errors.

Some of the most common adobe_lichelper.exe errors include:

adobe_lichelper.exe - Bad Image.
adobe_lichelper.exe Application Error.
adobe_lichelper.exe could not be found.
adobe_lichelper.exe could not be installed.
adobe_lichelper.exe could not be launched. Class not registered.

Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

Finding the source of the adobe_lichelper.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting adobe_lichelper.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using Adobe License Utility Helper. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of Adobe Systems Incorporated, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of adobe_lichelper.exe errors can occur if it has been accidentally moved, deleted, or corrupted by a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
