Creative Cloud still thinks I am using a trial

Long story short, creative cloud (mainly photoshop) does not recognize my applications as being paid for (it thinks I am still using a trial, even after signing in - it wants a product code, even though I dont have one).
Others have had problems, but their solutions or whatnot doesnt seem to work.
This is my last attempt at fixing this before going directly to customer service.
Thank you

If you use Photoshop at all, you may need to install the latest update to resolve this issue. See this blog post for more information:
http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2013/01/photoshop-13-0-413-1-2-updat es-now-available.html
If you do not have Photoshop, then try the solution that others have mentioned previously:
Open the Adobe Application Manager (AAM).
If applicable, let AAM complete any automatic updates and restart itself.
Sign in with your Adobe ID. (Optionally, you can close AAM at this point.)
Open a CC application (e.g. InDesign CC).
If prompted (e.g. you get the trial screen), click "License This Software" and sign in with your Adobe ID.

  • My Creative Cloud still thinks I'm on a trial and won't accept my serial number.

    I have been set up with a seat on a Creative Cloud team and downloaded/started to use all apps.  The second day in it's now saying that premiere has 29 days left of its trial period.  I have clicked through to license the software and put in my serial number but that is being rejected as invalid.  Can anyone help?  The web chat team said it was a technical issue and put me on to customer services call centre but I'm just sitting in a never-ending queue of calls. 
    Thanks,
    David

    I had the same problem. It was infuriating.  I found nothing of help from forums like this. (Instructions like Dave's from March 1 seemed to disregard my problem, telling me to do something I'd done long ago).  So I tried to contact tech support, only to learn that they don't work after hours, and not at all during the weekends!!  I couldn't believe it. I still can't.
    So I contacted Adobe customer service -- which is available 24/7, because, after all, they are the sales people! 
    (In other words:  Adobe will take your money any time, day or night, and it will do so while promising access to the latest and greatest software service any time day or night. But Adobe won't spring for the funding to actually back that service, to ensure that people get what they pay for, to ensure that people get what they are promised by the sales force working for Adobe around the clock. )
    Anyway.... after a long time chatting with customer service, they informed me that my payments were up to date, so they told me it was a technical problem, and I would just have to wait the 3 days (it was a holiday weekend) until tech support comes to work in the morning of the next business day.
    When the time came (and they only work Pacific Time business hours), I called Adobe technical support, only to be told that it would be several hours before somebody would be available!!  (Of course, Adobe ensures that nobody ever has to wait for their sales support representative, aka- customer support representatives.)
    If Adobe did not have such a monopoly, this would not occur.
    And, if Adobe did not have such a monopoly, I would no longer be a customer. (In fact, I might not be a customer now, even given that fact, except that my work relies on some adobe code now.)
    So I was feeling frustrated to such a degree that ike I cannot begin to describe it.
    Finally, though, I went online again, and searched for help on my own. After all, I'd already discovered that this was not a new problem for Adobe -- it's just one they'd not bothered to fix, apparently.
    And finally, I ran across instructions that were better written than Dave's March 1 reply.
    Then I was able to unlock my software.
    The thing that one must do, is to re-enter your Adobe ID, which is probably your email address, and your password.  It seems redundant and unnecessary. But it should work, based on my experience (I've had to do it numerous times now).
    So, if anyone with this problem has read down this far, and hasn't yet solved the problem, just look for a link that says something about signing in with your Adobe ID.  I think it's a simple text link, and the link should appear on the popup-style window regarding your activation.  (I don't recall if the link appears before or after the rejection message, but if you cycle through those screens, you'll see it. After clicking the link, the appropriate form fields will appear.) Once you enter/re-enter your Adobe ID and password, your software should be available.
    But -- and this is very important -- do NOT just go on about your business. Raise hell with Adobe about the problem, and their lack of tech support, etc. It's all really inexcusable. The solution might seem simple, but if you don't know the solution, then you're SOL.
    And many people, esp people who are amateur photographers like my mother, might subscribe to Adobe's Cloud service and photo-editing software, and not look to forums like this for help. They'll only rely on Adobe tech support -- which is chronically underfunded by Adobe, and thus unavailable most of the time (considering hours closed, and wait times combined).
    And if enough people complain to Adobe, maybe Adobe will fix this problem (along w/ other problems) and fund tech support enough to actually provide us with the tech support that we need for a 24/7 software subscription service.
    And, if you complain, be sure to ask for a month's credit. You  might just get it.  And then Adobe mgt might listen to your complaints a bit more.

    I am a new Indesign user and a Creative Cloud member.  I was using the Window/Pages drop down window to view my pages alphabetically or by page number and also to determine whether or not my JPEG files were sufficiently HI-Res for the printer.  I don't know how I did it but somehow the window has changed so that now it does not have the alphabetical/numerical/Hi-Res information.  It just shows the pages in a two page spread in numerical order.  How can I restore the window so that I will be able to view the information as I did previously.
    Your help will be appreciated,

    The pages panel is not the place where you see this information.  You can customize the Links panel to show all sorts of things, including the page number, effective and actual ppi, and whether the link is OK or needs updating.

  • Cannot use Creative Cloud in new Mac after using Migration Assistant

    I used Migration Assistant to set up my new Mac (new computer is a Retina MacBookPro; so was old computer). I could not open any of my CC apps. When I open Creative Cloud Desktop App it is completely blank (no tabs for Apps, Fonts, Files, etc. -- No means of installing or updating apps). I uninstalled Creative Cloud and reinstalled (several times) but got the same results. I have also deleted all the Application Folders for CC apps that cam ever with Migration Assistant.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

  • New credit card updated however creative cloud still saying it will expire in 12 days

    hi i have been trying to sort this problem out for the last month. I have updated my billing information and seen that $1 has come out of my new credit card to verify the card. There is money on the card too. I still keep getting an error of the product expiring & this is stressing me out as I am in Australia and there is no way for me to contact adobe as it is in america. I sat online waiting for someone to help me via chat yesterday for 20 mins, finally got through and explained my situation and they said they will transfer me to another department via chat, and the other department never turned up. I am so frustrated, can you please help me?

    Hi i tried this and turned my computer off & then back on then logged in and opened illustrator and it still doesn't work

    I don't know if this will help or not.  I've been having a similar problem for a while.  After multiple attempts to update information directly on the Adobe site, I finally got my  license to renew just now after signing out of the Creative Cloud client on my computer, then signing back in.  It's not the first time I've tried that, it's the first time it actually worked.

    have the same problem tried the signing in and out, rebooting, uninstalling and back again nothing is working, on 4th download of creative cloud still coming up with lightroom 5 after signing in anf out, also signing out dowloading and signing in, spent 2 days on this, just cannot spend days on trying tricks and hacks

  • Do I need to be online to use creative cloud? I want to use it in the field without internet connection.

    Do I need to be online to use creative cloud? I want to use it in the field without internet connection.

    Creative Cloud Help | Creative Cloud / Common Questions
    Do I need to be online to access my desktop apps?
    No, the desktop applications in Creative Cloud, such as Photoshop and Illustrator, are installed directly on your computer, so you don’t need an ongoing Internet connection to use them.
    An Internet connection is required the first time you install and license your apps, but you can use the apps in offline mode with a valid software license. The desktop apps will attempt to validate your software licenses every 30 days.
    Annual members can use the apps for up to 99 days in offline mode. Month-to-month members can use the software for up to 30 days in offline mode.

  • Must I upgrade Creative Cloud Free membership to continue using LR 5 ?

    Must I upgrade Creative Cloud Free membership to continue using LR 5 ? If CC is not a requirement to continue using LR 5, how then I should cancel the free membership so that no further requests to upgrade to a paid CC membership are sent to me?
    thanks

    Simply uninstall LR via installer/Contorl Panel/Finder.
    Then sign out of CC Desktop.
    Sign back in to CC Desktop and wait for the apps to refresh to confirm Lightroom is not installed.
    Then activate your stand-alone Lightroom product with your serial number.

  • Free year of Creative Cloud that I can't use right away.

    I won a license for a year of Adobe Creative Cloud, but I want to use it on an Apple computer that I don't have the money for right now. Will the year begin from the date I register the license using the code or from the day it was given to me?

    No-one knows exactly when you won the license.
    Unless there is an expiry date on whatever was issued to you (email? voucher?) to notify you that you'd won then my guess would be that it will start counting from the date you first activate your Cloud membership with Adobe. i.e. when you first install and activate the software.
