Encore won't activate under Creative Cloud

I installed Creative Cloud trial (Mac Mountain Lion) and after 30 days upgraded to paid subscription. Premiere works fine and I have completed a project. Now I urgently need to burn to DVD, but Encore keeps asking for a serial no. Of course, there is not one; and Encore is not available as a standalone download from CC. There is even some confusion as to whether Encore is included in CC, and Adobe does not make this massively clear, but it definitely is.
Many people report this problem but there doesn't seem to be a standard solution. Adobe themselves have not posted a useful answer that I can find. Adobe need to sort this out, we are all paying for the program and should get proper help when it does not work. We should not have to hunt around on the internet for random answers from other users when we are paying handsomely for a professional product.
Haven't tried anything yet - in my opinion Adobe should contact me and tell me what to do, or sort it out their end.
But it seems uninstalling Premiere & Encore (not sure how to do  that) then re-downloading from CC might work - anyone have any success with that? Adobe?????

OK thx for extra info.
To anyone else on a Mac with the urgent problem of needing to burn a DVD from a non-functioning Encore, the options seem to be:
1) Use an old copy of iDVD. While undergoing all this discussion with Adobe I was able to burn my urgent dvd from a .mov file using iDVD, it was so easy it took 15 mins - I didn't even need to read any instructions and it works fine. I was lucky that I had an old copy, iDVD doesn't come free with newer Macs.
2) If you're desperate and don't have iDVD  there's a free tool called Burn and a paid one called Wondershare DVD Creator for Mac ... both apparently work under Mountain Lion.
Shouldn't be needing to recommend non-Adobe apps on an Adobe forum but there you go.

  • Indesign CS6 won't activate without Creative Cloud

    I have a hard copy of the Adobe Creative suite CS6 Design & Web Premium set, which I purchased and installed on to my computer. All of the products seem to work except for Indesign, which for some reason won't open for me until I renew my Creative Cloud subscription. I don't want Creative Cloud. I don't need it. I have the programs - I bought them - so I expect to be allowed to use them. None of the other Adobe programs are doing this; only Indesign. Why is this going on????

    I can't open it. Every time I try, an Adobe window pops up saying:
    RENEW YOUR SUBSCRIPTION
    Go to the Subscription Manager to renew your subscription for Creative Cloud and continue using your product uninterrupted. If you have just renewed your subscription, wait 15 minutes and try again.
    I have the option to press "close" or "try again". "Try again" does nothing, and "close" quits it altogether. Adobe is not letting me access InDesign AT ALL.

  • How can I install and activate adobe software under creative cloud purchased from other country?

    How can I install and activate adobe software under creative cloud purchased from other country?

    Hi John,
    I appreciate your prompt response.
    We have an Australian client here in the Philippines and would want to purchase an adobe software under Creative Cloud Licensing.
    Since this type of licensing is not yet available here in the Philippines, they are suggesting that they can purchase it in their country.
    My main concern is, will there be any conflict upon installing/activating an adobe software under Creative Cloud which will be purchased from their country?
    And what are the steps for installing and activating a software under this type of license.

  • Can't Activate my Creative Cloud Subscription -- SERIOUS HELP NEEDED!!!

    For the past 3 weeks, I've been trying to activate my Creative Cloud subscription (placed my Creative Cloud order on 12/29/12).  Like others, it appears that I’m trapped in perpetual "trial mode" status.  When I try to activate my subscription -- I click the “register product” button…sign into my Adobe ID account…and receive a prompt to enter a serial number.  Every time.  I’ve litterally read every post/link/tutorial/troubleshooting selfhelp in this forum and on the Adobe FAQ pages - with great attention, might I add - but nothing seems to work.
    I've spent hours upon hours on the phone/live chat w/ Adobe reps trying to resolve this issue.  I've opened no less than 10 support cases.  EVERY SINGLE TIME that I try to activate my Creative Cloud membership, an Adobe rep feeds me the "I'll be sure to escalate this issue to the next level of support" line.  Likewise, Adobe support reps stated numerous times, that personnel from Adobe would contact me within 24 hours of my call to resolve the issue.  However, they’ve yet to follow through with this claim.  (Surprise)
    Adobe should be ashamed by the egregious performance of their "technical support team.”  If Adobe won't fix the software, which they've already charged me for, then they've left me w/ little choice but to cancel my order before the initial 30 day period is up.  Enough is enough.
    With that being said, Adobe, the following describes this dismal experience:
    I bought a subscription of Creative Cloud on 12/29/12 (somehow I ended up w/ the Multi Language edition of Creative Cloud- yes I've fiddled w/ the language settings in the app manager.  Doesn't work.)
    I received an order verification email from Adobe for my purchase, however, the order was never listed under the "my recent order" section of my Adobe ID
    Despite telling Adobe support that I only had one Adobe ID, they insisted that my order was showing up in their system, of which, was accessible by logging into my alternative Adobe ID (this didn’t exist because I only have one Adobe ID).
    Eventually, Adobe determined that a system error occurred on their side while processing the transaction, and fixed this initial issue.
    After this was resolved, I was able to login to my Adobe ID account and actually see my Creative Cloud membership order when viewing “my recent transactions.”
    After all of that, I'm facing my 2nd major issue w/ this program: the inability to activate my subscription.  As previously stated, I've tried everything to fix this issue.  I'm thinking that the initial problem w/ placing the order resulted in defective software.  Also, I’m not sure if this info is relevant, but I purchased the multiple language edition of Creative Cloud (somehow).  I live in the US, speak English, and am running OS X 10.8.2.
    Someone from Adobe, please look into this issue and help me.  I’ll be glad to provide any other relevant info that you may need.

    Had the exact same problem, just got it fixed. The solution is quite fast. Navigate to the hosts file. On a pc it's in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc folder, locate the file named 'Hosts' inside the etc folder. Open it with notepad. Delete everything underneath
    " # Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp. # # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows. # # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name. # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one # space. # # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol. # # For example: # # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host 127.0.0.1 localhost"
    Save. Open the application manager again, click "License this product" and sign in. It should work, now.

  • Photoshop Touch won't sync with Creative Cloud

    Photoshop Touch won't sync with Creative Cloud, although all my other Adobe iPad apps will. Is there a way to force the sync in PS Touch? I have already tried toggling syncing and signing out / in.

    Hi
    The meant photoshop update not the iOS update.
    I have tried to sync with a free 2gb account today and this works fine with my iPhone version of photoshop touch at least.
    What I am more confused about is that I cleared out my 20gb space to see if it was large files or a file type that was causing the issue. But even with a completely empty creative cloud account photoshop touch didn’t sync?
    Which suggests to me that the issue is with my 20gb storage space?
    I manually moved my photoshop touch files a few months ago. I haven’t used photoshop touch since really because the issue.
    Come to think of it the issues started around the same time as I started using the creative cloud connection on my macbook.
    Thanks

  • Can I run CS6 under Creative Cloud with CS6 Perpetual installed?

    Hi Folks
    I've finally got the latest AAM to launch and would like to try Creative Cloud.
    But I have a registered copy of CS6 Perpetual already installed.
    What's the recommended way to try out Creative Cloud in this case?
    I'm time sensitive, as CS6 is mission critical for me. Can't have any down time.
    Thanks!

    Hi Jeff
    I have CS6 Premium installed (the upgrade from CS5 Design Premium)
    Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Bridge, Acrobat X, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash, Media Encoder, Extenson Manager
    So, there's only  Lightroom and Muse left. I dont use either much.
    I'd really like to see it work in my normal work scenario with the above apps.
    Do I need to download separate copies of the CS apps to run under Creative Cloud?
    Or can I temporarily deactivate the CS6 apps' perpetual serial and run under Creative Cloud?
    Thanks for your time.

  • Why I cannot activate a creative cloud bought with an spanish card in Spain?

    Hi!!

  • Encore not available under Creative Cloud Desktop App

    Hi
    I have just purchased Premiere Pro CC 2014 as a single app
    and am trying to find how to get the option to show Premiere Pro CS6 so I can install that to get Encore Installed.
    I have followed the online docs on how to do this but can not see an option under Apps to show the Previous versions, all I have is Find new apps Tab on the left and on the right All Apps on the right, when I drop down all it gives me is an option to show from the Apps List Filter like> All Apps, Audio/Video Etc.
    Onthe very top I have listed installed
    Premiere Pro CC
    Adobe Media Encoder
    both listed as all up to date.
    I originally started with a trial of the above 2 Apps but have now just purchased a licence for PP Single App Monthly, I have also incidently tried loging in and out of Creative Cloud, but still same resutls.
    I am wondering if the CC Desktop App has changed since the Encoure Tutorial?
    Thanks in advance.

    when I drop down all it gives me is an option to show from the Apps List Filter like> All Apps, Audio/Video Etc.
    Go down the etc and there you will find Previous Version.

  • I've brought a new pc and i can't activate the creative cloud on it

    Title says it all really, the old hard drive i used in my old system has been wiped so i cant lauch the old programs to deactive the programs on there. but everything has been installed on this new system so im wondering is there a way i can activate them to use on my new system
    thanks in advance

    Hi MikeP3131,
    When you install the program through cloud and enter your Adobe Id and password your system tries to connect to the Adobe activation server and then the subscription gets activated.
    With creative cloud you can activate the subscription in 2 computers. The moment you install the software  and activate the subscription in 3rd one it gives you a pop up message saying that the subscription has already been activated in 2 machines.
    If you click on 'continue' on that window it will deactivate the subscription from the previous two machines and will let you activate it in the 3rd machine.
    So you don't need to deactivate the subscription from the old computer.
    Thanks
