If this solves your problem (it will!) consider leaving a nice comment.
Maybe you even want to 
Copy and paste this to Terminal.app, enter your user password when prompted and follow the instructions on the screen. During this process, as ~40MB Liscense recovery file provided by Adobe will be downloaded, executed and deleted afterwards. Make sure to view and agree with the license agreement for this piece of code before you run the script (chances are it will fail otherwise).
if [ "$(grep -o activate.adobe.com /etc/hosts)" = "activate.adobe.com" ];
then echo "/etc/hosts is already modified"

sudo hdiutil attach LicenseRecovery111.dmg
sudo python '/Volumes/LicenseRecovery 11.6.1/LicenseRecovery/'LicenseRecover.py
sudo rm -rf ~/AdobeLicensingFilesBackup
sudo hdiutil detach "/Volumes/LicenseRecovery 11.6.1"
sudo rm LicenseRecovery111.dmg
say "Done! now start CS4 and enter your serial"
exit 0
This will perfom the steps suggested by Erik’s Brain and Jake’s Computer Blog. After completing these steps, you will need to re-enter your serial number, and CS4 will work again.
Be aware that this is not a crack! You will need a valid serial number.
If this doesn’t work for you:
- let me know
- check if Adobe’s Liscense Recovery tool was updated to a version other than 11.6.1 and if so, modify this script accordingly, then let me know
- check if you are using a Mac and if not, follow the advice given here.
- remember that this is not a crack, you will need a valid serial number
