I am unable to apply my Creative Cloud updates

Question

I've been eagerly awaiting the "October" updates to the CC products overviewed at IBC. I spoke to a customer service rep who didn't seem to fully grasp the English language, but he was unable to give me an approximate day that I should be getting these updates.
This is not good, and your Customer Service reps should know when you're planning to roll out major product updates. But that's not why I'm replying to this thread.
Finally, just now today, Creative Cloud tells me the updates are available.
When I try to update each individual app, or hit the Update All, they all always fail. It's almost like the app doesn't even try to connect with a server to download. I can open up a popup window that says that it failed to download (with 49 in brackets... I'm assuming that's the error number).
After waitng, restarting, and retrying multiple times, I gave up.
Going into a specific app and choosing Help>Update, I was able to download most of the updates without problem using the old Adobe Application Manager. Previous minor updates downloaded just fine.
Why can Adobe Application Manager download updates, but Adobe's Creative Cloud desktop app can't?
Please workout these bugs. My company pays top dollar for these apps, and we're constantly paying—because we have no other choice—but also because we want all the new features.
So far, Creative Cloud has been a headache. These sorts of stupid bugs, coupled with the recent major leak of credit card information is making me weary about wanting to continue using Adobe software in the future. This and the fact that I'm constantly having to re-accept the Licence Agreement, which stops any files I was trying to open from opening on launch. Waste of time.

Answer 1

Checked out that link and everything seems to be in order on this machine at this time.
I only have CC installed on this one machine, not even my secondary machine like is permitted. it seems odd that I'm asked to re-accept the Licence Agreement as often as I am. If I had to guess, it's almost every week, if not multiple times some weeks, that all the software will decide I should have to view the licence agreement.
Edit: I've never had any noticeable "errors" activating or anything like that. I just get asked to do it quite frequently.
This activation screen isn't too annoying (it involves clicking one single button), but like I stated earlier, if I'm trying to launch the software by double-clicking on a PSD, AI, PPROJ, AEP, etc... that file will fail to open.
I feel like that's probably not really a bug, but it is frustrating, since I did launch the application with the intent to edit that specific file I tried to open.
Again, something that you guys may consider working on.
Another annoyance is that: agreeing to the licence agreement is a per-application task, so if I see that Licence Agreement dialogue window by opening Photoshop (for example), I know that every other piece of software I have in the suite (Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects, Audition) will be showing me that screen on it's next launch. Probably deliberate for legal purposes that I can't just agree once for the whole suite, but heck, it would save me a lot of minor headaches if it was a unified agreement.
