I bought a subscription to Creative Cloud with Photoshop CC, but PS remains in trial version and will soon expire.

So a couple of weeks ago I decided to subscribe to Creative Cloud. Payment was made, and I could download the software that is included in that deal, one of which is Photoshop CC. Now upon starting it for the first time, it asked me if I wanted to continue as a trial version, or if I wanted to buy the license. I already paid for it, so this question seemed strange to me. I checked if I still had to log in with my adobe account, but I already was logged in. I tried logging out & in, maybe that would fix it but no. Also, I can't find any activation key anywhere, not in the e-mail that confirmed my subscription, nowhere.
I have been working since then, and since photoshop CC trial version will expire within a couple of days, I had to make time to try and fix it now. Sadly I haven't been able to find any solution, and finding any direct support on the adobe help department has been a nightmare. I really hope someone here is able to help me fix this.
To summarize:
- I've got a subscription to Creative Cloud (the one with photoshop, that costs 12,29 per month in euro's, I'm from the Netherlands)
- Photoshop CC installed, keeps asking if I want to keep on using the trial version, or get a license.
- Upon making the choice to get a license, it just asks for an activation key, which I do not have
- Logging in & out with my adobe account in Photoshop CC itself does not fix the problem.

Thanks for your reply. I was able to find help through a tech support chat session and the person helped me edit my /etc/hosts file and it solved the problem.
For anyone else experiencing this issue (Mac OS X):
Close all other programs and sign out from the Adobe Desktop App
From the Finder, Go > Go to Folder...
Type /etc and hit enter
Find "hosts" file (only "hosts", there were similar files such as hosts.config but only open the one that says "hosts"
Open the file, and replace the entire content with ### Host Database## localhost is used to configure the loopback interface#
Close the file, sign back into the Adobe Desktop App
Problem solved!

  • I just updated Creative Cloud and it disappeared from my desktop.  In my profile, there is no longer a subscription to Creative Cloud--Just Photoshop for CS3 customers.  What is going on?

    A few minutes ago I got a Creative Cloud update notification.  I ran the update and Creative Cloud disappeared from my desktop.  What happened?  I still have Photoshop CC and Bridge CC.  But will I still get CC updates?  Also I no longer seem to have a Creative Cloud subscription--just something that looks like a monthly fee for keeping Photoshop for customers with Photoshop CS3+.  What is going on?

    I just had an online Chat with Adobe Support, and we uninstalled CC Desktop and reinstalled it.  That fixed the problem.  I have no idea what CAUSED the problem though.

  • Differences between single subscription for Creative Cloud for Photoshop and Photo plan Creative Cloud?

    Hello all,
    the differences between the Photo plan and the single subscription to Photoshop.
    The photo plan has both Lightroom and Photoshop but costs less than the single subscription for Photoshop.
    Any clue? What am I going to miss in the photo plan?
    Considering that I already have Lightroom 5 licence (not CC), I was evaluating it but I'd like to understand the price/service differencies.
    Thank you.

    Please do not worry. You can just download it from Creative Cloud Help | Install, update, or uninstall apps.
    You have to activate it with your Adobe ID.
    In case the CC has been activated two time, you will have to use the option to deactivate the CC from previous install .This prompt will appear when you will try to activate the CC. Once you choose this option it will allow you to activate the CC on the new machine.

  • Urgent: I just bought 3 anual pre paid memberships for adobe creative cloud, with the same Adobe ID.

    Hi I just bought 3 anual pre paid memberships for adobe creative cloud, with the same Adobe ID, I want to install each membership in one different computer, how I do it?

    One Adobe ID can be used to activate any CC subscription twice. So you need to have three  different Adobe ID for each of the pre paid subscription so that they can be used.
    If you keep the same ID for three CC, it will not activate the third time & ask you to de activate it from the previous one.
    You can return two of the subscription & buy them under different ID.
    Regards

  • I just bought 3 memberships for adobe creative cloud with the same ID, how can I install each membership in 3 different computers.

    I just bought 3 memberships for adobe creative cloud with the same ID, how can I install each membership in 3 different computers.

    Welcome to Adobe Forum,
    You have CC for individual purchased which can be activated on two machines by the same Adobe ID.
    How ever if you want to use it on more than two machine, you can cancel this order & buy the creative cloud for Team, in which you can buy the number of seats & assign them to as many user you would like to.
    Each user can activate it two times with 100GB of space as compared to 20 GB space for CC for individual.
    Regards,
    Rajshree

  • I have the subscription of creative cloud but my software appear as trial

    I have the subscription of creative cloud. I think I purchased the software on the brazilian store. The software is in English the way I prefer. I want them in English. But they appear as trial versions. Help please.

    Hi All,
    When an application asks for a serial it means that the application can't see your subscription .Please verify this points :
    1 - Clean hosts file from Adobe entries ( Already checked ).
    2 - You're connected with a wrong email address .(verify this on CC desktop preferences menu .
    3 - Your opm file is corrupted > close CC desktop and delete opm.db from ( Don't let it on the trash )  :
    Windows: [System drive]:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
    Mac OS: /Users/[user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE
    4 - You bought a subscription for english only and you install it in another language ( you must have a multi language subscription in this case ).
    5 - You have an internet connection behind a proxy that blocks the applications ( If you don't have a proxy ,verify on your browser ( safari or IE ) and uncheck all proxy options )
    Regards,.

  • I am unable to cancel my subscription to creative cloud

    I have tried following the instructions for canceling my 12 month subscription to creative cloud (I am currently in the last month), but when I click on the link "Cancel this plan", I get the message:
    If you cancel your plan, you will lose access to certain features of your Creative Cloud membership, including certain applications, a higher level of services, and additional cloud storage. At the end of your current paid month, June 13, 2014, your membership will revert to a free membership, and you'll be billed 50% of your remaining contract obligation, as outlined in our billing terms. Memberships canceled within the first 30 days after purchase will be fully refunded by contactingCustomer Support.
    To cancel your plan, please contact Customer Support.
    So, what hoops do you expect me to jump through in order to actually cancel my subscription?
