How do I do a fresh install of Creative Cloud?

Hello all,
Here's my issue... Creative Cloud App Manager says that some apps are installed when they're not, some apps aren't installed when in fact they are, and some apps that used to work, now simply crash upon trying to open them. It's a huge mess.
Also, programs like InDesign and Illustrator, although they are installed, App Manager says they're not; their Uninstall Alias' in the app folder says the link is broken/missing.
I would like to just do a fresh install of all my Creative Cloud stuff, since it sounds like something went horrible awry during install.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Jake

Please let me know if additional information is necessary.
Thanks again.

I am having a similar problem (on a Mac) of Application Manager not detecting the currently installed Dreamweaver CS6 and Creative Cloud Connection apps. I also noticed that with my current installation of Dreamweaver, there are certain features (e.g. Extension manager) which say "Unavailable. please reinstall Dreamweaver":
If I click "Install" for Dreamweaver, it fails and tells me "Download error. Press Retry to try again or contact customer support. (307)".
I deactivated Dreamweaver then attempted to uninstal it, but the Uninstaller alias found in Applications > Dreamweaver folder is broken.
Also, the only thing in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers is a broken alias for "Uninstall Adobe Creative Cloud Connection".
I downloaded the Adobe Cleaner Tool and selected "Clean All", but this did not remove the installed files. Now the cleaner tool doesn't even detect a session to delete.
How do I proceed to do a clean install of Creative Cloud and CS6? I just really want my Application Manager to be able to manage all the installations and updates without issue.
Thanks

How Many Different Computer Can I Install my Creative Cloud Account On?

I originally downloaded Creative Cloud for my laptop and use on the in class and on the move. But I also have a desktop at home and I heard I could possibly download it again on my desktop so I was wondering if this was true and how worked? Thanks

You said "possibly download it again on my desktop"
So it seems you already know that you must have an Internet connection to download and install the Cloud

How many computers can I install my Creative Cloud apps on? May 5, 2012 5:57 AM -- Cloud Busted!!!!

Ok so i was just about to sign up for the cloud... having big problems with the Application Manager not being able to connect to the Interent (???) and re-directed to Customer Service. S aw this question about how many machines one can install on... blown away by Adobe's answer... 2!!!
2? Two? Deux??? Are you guys for real? This is 2013... we have many more than 2 devices... the subscription should be for me, not my machines.
I suppose i do notunderstand the meaning of a Cloud based Solution. Is it me or is Adobe out to lunch on this one? And b4 the Adobe ppl respond telling me to 'review the licensing agreement' like it the original (locked) post... perhaps it is you, Adobe people, who should review your licensing agreement!!! I see no reason to pay Adobe for a Cloud Solution now. It serves no purpose that I can see. Unfortunate... re-tool it Adobe and get back to me.

Hi pacman,
You can install the creative cloud apps on as many device as you want, but simultaneously you will be allowed to use only 2 device at a time as per EULA(end user license agreement).
You can contact Adobe support they will let you know more about the creative cloud membership.

Can i install creative cloud in both mac and PC? up to how many computers can i install the creative cloud?

Hiya, i am new to the latest version of creative cloud. Wonder if i can install creative cloud in both mac and PC? And up to how many computers can i install the creative cloud? If I am going to graduate in a few months time, can I still use student discount to purchase the one year package and pay it off in one go? Thanks! !

Sure , you can install on both Mac as well as PC .
Max activation allowed = 2 computers.
Student discounted price will be valid for one year.
Later you can purchase with different Adobe ID , with valid proof of eligibility .
Once you had purchased yearly prepaid subscription , it will not expire for another one whole year , whether you are still student or finished graduation. It will expire after year.

The process will be identical as it was on your first computer. Please see http://forums.adobe.com/message/4396277#4396277?tstart=0 for information on how to install the Creative Cloud applications.

How can I see which computers (computer name) Creative Cloud is installed on?

Hi Arno ten Hagen,
To check for activation you need to go to all the machines in which you have installed CC apps, launch any of the CC software, go to help and you will see the email address mentioned by which you are logged in to that machine.

I installed a creative Cloud a month ago for a free trial. Last week, i bought a licence of Lightroom 5. Now, how can i install and register my licence of Lightroom 5 on my computer?

That creative cloud installation of Lightroom will have to be uninstalled. It cannot be activated with the serial number you have. You can download the trial version from one of these two websites, and activate it with your serial number:
Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1
Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1
You will not lose any of the work you may have done using the trial version. In the future, when posting questions it would really help if you would identify your operating system and other pertinent computer information.

Installing my Creative Cloud apps in my new computer: they are trial versions!

I have just purchased a new iMac. I didn't want a Time Machine copy because I wanted to install from zero.When I have opened my Creative Cloud account and got ready to download i've seen something weird:it says TRIAL. And yes, once i have downloaded the app I have been adviced that it is a 30 days trial. How can I fix this, and get my Creative Cloud again?
Thanks very much!
Elena

Manish,
....Nnow I cannot download any copies! Today and after I understood what the problem was, I signed with the right user/password, but the manager application that has downloaded was the trial one, so it keeps me offering the trial ... although in the website I was reading Download not Try!

Question about installing a Creative Cloud app on multiple computers.

If I install a Creative Cloud app on Computer A and Computer B, and then I uninstall the app from Computer B, can I then install the app on Computer C?
If yes, are there any special steps I need to take in this process?

@gary0a1 - I assume you are referring to reply 20 by Jeff Wright from May 2012: "Yes you can have both computers turned on and connected at the same time. As long as you are only using the applications on one computer at a time it is not a violation of the EULA."
A single user can now use the software on two computers at the same time.
See the Creative Cloud FAQ here https://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html under the Getting started section:
Can I use the software I download from Creative Cloud on multiple computers?
Yes, you can use Creative Cloud desktop applications on two computers at once, regardless of operating system, for the individual associated with the Creative Cloud membership. See the product license agreements page for more information.
Hi Ken,
Hoping you could offer some clarification on this. The current version of the CC FAQ doesn't seem to have same language as before; here's what it says now:
Can I use the software I download from Creative Cloud on more than one machine?
Yes. Creative Cloud desktop applications can be downloaded and installed on multiple computers, regardless of operating system. However, activation is limited to two machines per individual associated with the membership. See the terms of use for more information. Learn how to deactivate a Creative Cloud license on a machine.
...what's more, the Creative Cloud EULA was updated on June 18, 2014, completely replacing the prior one from October 16, 2012. The new Adobe General Terms of Use reads:
"You may activate the Software on up to 2 devices (or virtual machines) at a time, if these activations are associated with the same Adobe ID for the same individual, unless stated at http://www.adobe.com/go/activation. However, you may not use the Software on these devices simultaneously." [emphasis added]
So, is using the CC apps on two systems at the same time actually allowed? Would it be possible to get a definitive answer or clarification on the previous reply here?
Thanks so much!
