Creative Cloud keeps forgetting about my Lightroom installation

Every few weeks, the Creative Cloud Software on my computer forgets that there is a Lightroom 5 installation on my computer, making it impossible for me to update. The software works just fine for Photoshop, though.
I installed Lightroom through the software and right after the installation, it showed up ok. Last time, I contacted Adobe directly via chat and they told me to uninstall manually and re-install through the software. That worked and I agree that this is a suitable solution for a one time thing, but I am not going to un-install/re-install Lightroom everytime that there is an update.
Same thing applies to the software itself: every other update just crashes and requires me to re-install the Creative Cloud software.
Any idea to what I could be doing wrong? Any hope that this is fixed soon? The whole subscription thing is pointless to me, otherwise.

Hi drs,
So what do you mean by: my computer forgets that there is a Lightroom 5 installation on my computer"? There could be 2 issues: your link on the desktop / dock is gone after a while or your Lightroom 5 does not show correct status in the Creative Cloud Desktop application. I assume you talk about option 2? The status of the installation is just maintained in a database file on your system. So see for example KB: CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed
So if anything shows incorrect there might be damage of your OPM.db file or a read / write permission issue to update this or other files.
If you have crashes in general please try to narrow down the root cause by using: Troubleshoot system errors, freezes | Windows | Adobe software or Troubleshoot system errors, freezes | Mac OS 10.x | Adobe software

  • Creative cloud keeps forgetting that lightroom is installed

    I've installed LR via creative cloud, and then, some time later, will discover that CC thinks it's not installed anymore. This has happened a few times now, over two different PCs, and I haven't been on CC all that long. Might have happened to PS once, but I don't remember what the exact issue was that time. At least previously, when there was an update I could simply install the update manually, but now the 'download' button tells me to use CC...
    For now, I suppose I'm going to have to re-install again, and hope that CC gets fixed before it happens again.

    you could also try solution 2 here to see if that allows the cc app to correctly see your lr is installed, CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed

  • Creative cloud keeps me logged in to my old account even when I log in with my new account.

    Creative cloud keeps me logged in to my old account even when I log in with my new account. When I log out of the new account, it has kept me logged in to the older account. Because of this, I can't access the programs. I am trying to access the free trials on the new account before purchasing the subscription on the new account, but it keeps me registered as the older account, even though I requested for the older account to be cancelled. I have also tried multiple times to uninstall both the programs and creative cloud desktop but the same thing keeps happening. Can someone please help me?

  • I'm in the trial period for Creative Cloud - I have about 19 days to go on Photoshop CC on my iMac.  Can I use the same CC trial on a second machine?  Specifically on a Windows 7 machine?

    Nothing personal to you or Rajshee, but this is exactly why I absolutely despise these "community forums" (not just Adobe but any company).  I called the Tech Support phone line today after digging and digging for a phone number, and they told me the exact opposite, and they did it a lot faster than it was possible to get a forum response.  (That's really not personal, because you can't control that, but it's a fact.)
    Their answer: As long as I'm signed in with the same ID, I can try, say, Photoshop CC on my iMac at home and also try Acrobat Pro CC on my Windows 7 machine at work.  Same account, same login, one trial.
    This makes complete sense to me as I'm financially on the hook (potentially) for the same package.  If I give away my login to someone else, which I wouldn't do, I'm still on the hook.  This is why the cloud approach to software is such genius and I applaud it.
    BTW, 99% of the "community forum" wrong answers come on Microsoft sites, so don't feel bad.

  • Why does Creative cloud keeps signing me out?

    On my desktop Windows 8 Creative cloud keeps singing me out every time I log in, but I have no problem on my laptop Windows 8. What is up with that? I have red some other forums some other solutions ... well I have no OOBE folder to delete opm.db and yes all hidden files are viable and searchable. This was fine a week ago, I uninstalled and re-installed creative cloud that did not work. My yearly subscription has just renewed maybe that has something to do with it? The programs see to be working fine. I can live without Creative cloud update manually but I would like to you it. 

    Did you try the instructions at these two links?

  • Creative Cloud för skrivbord kunde inte installeras

    Jag har köpt och betalat för Adobe Premier Pro som jag "prenumererat" på tidigare och nu vill ta upp igen, och därför förnyat på Adobes hemsida. Adobe Premier Pro finns sedan tidigare installerat på datorn, men startar inte. Som jag förstår saken måste jag först ladda ner Creative Cloud för att kunna använda/ladda ner Premier Pro? Jag försöker installera Adobe Creative Cloud från Adobes hemsida, på en stationär windows7 64-bitars dator med Google Chrome. Det börjar bra med en "progress bar" som segar sig fram i ca 10 minuter. Sedan kommer ett felmeddelande med texten "Följande problem har påträffats: Creative Cloud för skrivbord kunde inte installeras". Det finns ingen ytterligare information eller länk i meddelandet. Det finns heller ingen installationslogg på den plats Adobe anger att man ska titta (Program (x86)\Common files\Adobe\Installers.Det spelar ingen roll om jag använder ett konto med administratörsrättigheter, eller högerklickar på installationsprogrammet och väljer att köra som administratör. Hur ska göra för att kunna använda programmet som jag betalat för?

    Hi BBE2ADOBE,
    It seems to be a permission issue. Please enable hidden admin account and try installing again: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-wi ndows-vista/ .

  • My creative Cloud keeps trying to install the same update

    Dear Forum,
    My creative Cloud keeps trying to install the same update and never completes. I have rebooted my windows 8.1 and same occurs. All other updates are fine so just creative cloud.  am I able to manually uninstall just the creative cloud on its own without effecting my acrobat pro and FormsCentral etc? If so where can I download the latest creative cloud?
