When I try to start Resogun it says "This application can be started only by a user who has a license for it."
What do I need to do?
I got this error with Flower. Try logging out and back in - that fixed it for me.

Would the PAL models be any different from the US models, such as slightly different internals and manufacturing plant?
So went through the thread to collect data and there's now 19 of us GAFers with broken units from the Hongfujin Yantai China plant, mostly manufactured in September 2013 (three were August), and the majority of which are suffering from the same issue (console arrives DOA - never boots up, just a pulsating blue light aka "BLOD"). Most of us have also purchased from Amazon so there's a clear pattern here:
Got mine this evening. This was going to stay in the box until Christmas as a family gift, but now thinking I should probably break the seal and check it out.
I'm in Los Angeles, and my PS4 shipped from the Amazon Warehouse in Phoenix, AZ. Anyone else here in LA get theirs the same way? And is it working/bricked/doa?
What is he supposed to do about it?
Some people are under the delusion that corporate mouth pieces are supermen that are able to simultaneously control every aspect of a mega corporation. Or he's an idiot that thinks complaining to Shu will somehow net him short term VIP status and get him to the front of the line. Either way, smh.
This is extremely worrying. Especially since I am importing mine so in the case it were DOA I'd have to pay to send it back(don't know how much) and pay about 120USD to receive a replacement. Mine would be arriving on Monday from amazon, so hopefully there'll be more info regarding this problem by then. Is anyone else here in this situation? Mine's coming from amazon orlando, any DOAs there?
Ok so, my video and audio will suddenly stutter and then my video comes back a second later, but my audio does not. To fix it I have to either unplug the HDMI and plug it back in or switch the input on my TV and switch it back. I've tried different HDMI cables so it isn't a faulty cable. This is an Amazon console. Anything I can do?
What is he supposed to do about it?
It seems to me that Sony have dealt with high demand by increasing their failure rate tolerance. Or maybe the failure rate isn't that high but we know about almost every single broken hardware because the in the past years the internet became so transparent with the spreading of twitter, facebook.
I think it's the latter one.
I don't think so. iPad's sell in way higher quantities than VG consoles do yet I never hear of journos and lots of people getting broken stuff. I don't know if the PS4 failure rate is high, but it's definitely not low.
Yep iPhones and iPads sell in crazy amounts and you never hear even close to a swell of failures like this..
Mine is from hongfujin, sept batch. Now yall got me worried ;_;
well one of the reasons for this is apples really really high quality control. For example they only use A++ panels for the thunderbolt displays. Also apples customer support is way way better than anything out there.
What is he supposed to do about it?
Yeah I guess they can pay extra to get the good Foxconn factories
This time though, I asked questions. Of course, the Apple Store employee who helped me out wasn't a spokesperson for the company, but he did have some good insight. He said a lot of people have been coming in lately with broken iPhone 5 home or power buttons and the problem has been reported up the food chain to the big shots at Apple. (My colleague Kevin Smith had a broken power button on his iPhone 5 too.)
That's not a good sign for a device that's only been on the market for about eight months. These things are supposed to last about two years, not a few months.
The experience reminded me of a recent report I read that Apple is having some problems with iPhone 5s coming out of Foxconn, the Chinese manufacturing company it contracts to build its gadgets. According to Tom's Hardware, only 80% of the iPhone 5s made at Foxconn meet Apple's quality standards. Apple's contract with Foxconn reportedly requires 90% of devices to meet those standards. Apple does its best to send the faulty devices back to Foxconn, but unfortunately some slip through the cracks.
What the hell are you guys going on about?

Like people have said before, all electronic products will have a certain failure rate. Usually those failures happen over time, such as RROD. It's somewhat alarming to see so many reports of units arriving DOA or failing within hours of use. My point is you dont really see that at launches of Apple or even other products, where frenzy for the product is at its highest and supplies at their lowest-- which leads to internet furor.
Mine is from the doomed batch and from amazon. I admit I was pretty nervous hooking up my system and going through the initial setup. I didn't use the provided HDMI cable. Got the firmware update and then loaded up killzone for around 2 hours. Took a break and then downloaded resogun and played that for another 30-40 minutes. Everything went surprisingly smooth. Going to try BF4 and NBA2k tomorrow. Hopefully I'm in the clear.
You're talking all relative stuff. Maybe you spend more time on gaming forums than you do on apple forums and don't see what you see now.
All we have right now is people just pulling stuff out of the air.
On Macrumors Apple stores would be burned to the ground if Gold 5s's were failing en masse.
There you go again. What's en masse? What tangible evidence is there for these assertions you're making.
Tangible evidence of PS4s failing? How about this thread? PS4s are failing-- either DOA or within hours of use.
En masse = "in large amounts". I made no reference to PS4s failing "in large amounts". My example was if iPhone 5s's were failing in large amounts, there would be a riot on Macrumors.
I didn't say they weren't but you specifically keep trying to point out that it's somehow above average failure rates but how you get to that point I have no idea.
Im not exactly sure how you're reading that into my comments. No one here knows the actual failure rate-- my comment that seems to have ruffled your undies is in reference to outbursts of internet furor during product launches.
updated fine, played fine
started to download resogun and blacklight, checked about an hour later system froze with psn down for maintenance on the main screen, system wouldnt respond to controller inputs or touching the power button
held the power button until system turned off
should it just turn back on when i try it again tomorrow?
Sony did release a statement about hardware failure issues, but they said something like only 0.0004% of systems had problems.
And I tend to believe that, even though I'm angry as all get-out at the moment. I mean, if the number was something like a full 1%....GAF would explode, financial analysts would already be predicting a sharp drop in Sony stock, and the streets would run red with Sony exec blood.
But look at me....my Launch is ruined, my (working) PS4 won't arrive for at least two weeks - realistically three weeks what with Thanksgiving and all - and yet I still just purchased the additional two-year warranty after finishing up my recall order. Yup....I'm a sucker...
What the hell are you guys going on about?

My PS4, which is working, is August 2013.
How did you find the date?
edit:
Ps4 working
hongfujin yantai china, August 2013
well so much for that theory.
And??? How did you find it?
Here is a european PS4 unboxing video. He says it is the retail version.

I'm pretty sure the box is different. Maybe another factory?
Not entirely. It could mean the problem was escalated in septemer
it's on the bottom of the ps4
like so (not my pic)
