What are adobe_licutil.exe Error Messages?


adobe_licutil.exe Runtime Errors

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

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