Lightroom 5.6 - "Please connect to the internet and retry" - I am connected!

Hello there,
I'm going berserk with the validation of Lightroom serial number -- after I input the serial number, although I have no problem with my internet connection, it keeps putting me on the "Please connect to the internet and retry" screen.
I tried going through the steps to just activate offline, but I have not clue how to get the Request Code, since there isn't a link that says "I cannot connect to the internet" or "Having trouble connecting to the internet".
Has anyone else experienced the Adobe validator telling you you're offline when, in fact, you are online? I'm at a loss as to what to do here.
NOTE: I subscribed Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan.

  • "Please connect to the internet and retry" - I am connected!

    I'm trying to validate a physical copy of CS6 on my home computer, and after I input the serial number, it keeps putting me on the "Please connect to the internet and retry" screen. I'm actually staring at that window right now as I type this question to be posted over my very connected-to-the-internet computer.
    I tried going through the steps to just activate offline, but when the install was finished, a Launch Product button didn't appear, so I was unable to follow the steps to generate a request code (which would then lead to a response code).
    Has anyone else experienced the Adobe validator telling you you're offline when, in fact, you are online? I'm at a loss as to what to do here.

    I also have encountered this problem, kwestface, and like you still don't have access to the activation servers despite following the steps listed in the "Sign in or activation errors" page.
    Did you eventually receive a solution, or are you still waiting for a response?

  • CS6 error - Please connect to the Internet and retry

    Running CS6 Flash, Photoshop, Illustrator for the past couple years on an older desktop. Running Windows XP and have had no known issues using this software until recently when trying to open. Now when opening any of these programs I get a pop up asking to "sign in with your Adobe ID to use your trial of Adobe Flash ProCS6." (same with the other programs when opened).
    I enter the login info and get an error that says "Please connect to the Internet and retry".
    I am connected. Hard wire connection. I am using a home computer. Clock is set to correct time.
    Because I am running XP I need to keep using CS6 on this machine and cannot yet upgrade to a newer version to reinstall.
    Thanks in advance for any support!

    Are your programs serial number versions from before the Cloud, or did you subscribe to the Cloud and install the CS6 versions since you have XP?
    And/Or... have you ever installed any part of the Cloud?

  • Premiere Elements - Please connect to the internet and retry.

    I am connected to the internet, my clock is right, and I've done the troubleshooting steps from the help pages. Still no luck. I can't seem to figure out how to generate a "request" code to go the offline activation route, as I don't get the error link mentioned in the help file. Any ideas?
    Internet Connection Issues
    Temporarily Offline
    If your computer is temporarily offline (travel, internet connection issues etc.), simply go online within 7 days of the first launch of your Adobe product to complete an online activation and registration.
    Permanently Offline
    If your computer is permanently offline (i.e. secure environments like government, banking etc.) you need to complete an offline activation within 7 days of the first launch of the software otherwise it will stop working. You need an internet enabled device and your product's serial number to complete this process.
    1.
    Follow the installation or product launch screens until you see a link that says "I cannot connect to the internet" or "Having trouble connecting to the internet" [this never appears]. Click the link and follow the instructions on the subsequent screen to initiate offline activation. Instructions there will tell you how to generate a Request Code.
    2.
    Use an internet-enabled device to
    Generate a Response Code
    . Sign in and enter the machine specific Request Code as well as your product's serial number.
    3.
    Enter the Response Code on the installation or launch product screen of your offline computer when you are prompted to complete the offline activation process.
    Notes:
    - The Request Code is machine-specific and valid for 72 hours. If it takes longer than 72 hours to complete this process, simply generate a new Request Code.
    - Volume customers should consider using the free Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition (AAMEE) 3.0 to package Creative Suite applications. By packaging their volume license using AAMEE 3.0, only the IT Admin needs to complete a one-time activation and sign-in, not individual users. Click

  • Sign in problems- Please connect to the internet and retry

    I originally installed the premier elements trial on my computer. shortly after a friend of mine purchased premier elements for me I have the codes and everything I verified the product several times and it has been working great as of recently i am getting the error message: Please connect to the internet and retry
    Either your computer is offline or the clock on your computer is set incorrectly causing a connection error. an internet connection is required.
    Internet is running fine on my computer and the clock was indeed set to the wrong time, i set the correct time it but it is still giving me issues not allowing me to login or use the program
    additionally: why do i need to sign in to the internet every time i use the program if i already purchased it? shouldnt i be allowed to use the program even when there is no internet connection available? why is it asking me to sign in every time. what gives?
    p.s. i had it installed on two previous computers. One of them i bought wasnt good and i wiped the drive before i returned it to the store.
    the other computer is an old computer its still on there but im not using it because its too slow to run it.

    What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system is it running.
    Using Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 7 64 bit, I ran into the same Internet/Clock message and used the following solution to resolve that specific issue.
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Sign In Failure (Connect to Internet or Fix Computer Clock)
    Please determine if it will work for you.
    You need an Internet connection for product installation, for some first time/one time feature activation, and use of Online Services offered by the program. Other
    than that you should be able to use the program without an Internet connection.
    When you have been going to install Premiere Elements on any of your computers, are you getting a "same purchased serial number on more than 2 of your
    computers" message? If not, then there should be no involvement needing contacting Adobe about the use of the same purchased activated serial number on more
    than 2 of your computers.
    Please review and consider and then let us know the outcome.
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

    Add On...Just in case note...deactivation and uninstall are two different things...so Help Menu/Deactivate or Sign Out (depending on your version)
    and, if necessary, then uninstall using the usual Control Panel route (if Windows).

  • How can I remove the "Please connect to the internet and retry" error when I start Acrobat DC in my laptop?

    I started Acrobat DC in my laptop, it said, "Please connect to the internet and retry." I did have internet connection as I could browse the net. So I checked out the internet time and it is synchronized with time.windows.com.
    Do I need to set it to synchronize to time.nist.gov?

    As mentioned, starting with version of Premiere Elements that is being used and the computer operating system on which it is running are important in generating troubleshooting strategy.
    But, the description of what you wrote caught my attention with the words "trying to start" and mention of need for Internet connection when you knew one existed. What was the exact full message from the program in this regard?
    Depending on further details from you, you may have run into the same issue that I did recently. I have written about the experience including the remedy
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Sign In Failure (Connect to Internet or Fix Computer Clock)
    The answer for me was to update the Adobe Application Manager as per the input of an Adobe Staff member. Details in the above blog post.
    We will be watching for your results.

  • Please Connect to the Internet and Retry error.

    I was trying to start up Dreamweaver CC and I could not log into my account. The odd thing is, My system time is correct and I am obviously connected to the internet. Any ideas as to how I fix it?

    ALSO: Someone told me there could be a problem with my windows host file... Not sure why that would be but if you know, please tell me why that would be an issue.

    Rename the hosts file, Hosts to Hosts.old and log in.
    Then compare the content of both files and you will understand why the old file failed.

    Hello,
    I cannot sign in to my Photoshop Elements 12 and then updated to 12.1 using PDAPP.exe.  The error I'm getting is saying that I'm either not connected to the internet or my clock is incorrect.  Neither of these are true.  I've been on chat with Adobe for about 5 hours and talked to them for about 3.  They still refuse to solve my problem, saying it's an ISP issue.  I have informed them that it is not, but they still beleive it is. (I talked to my ISP, and I'm a network technician, I've followed the packets the entire way to Adobe and that's where the traffic stops.  See output below."  Why would adobe's servers stop me from activating a legally bought Elements 12?  Anyone else have this issue or have a solution?
    P.S. I've checked the hosts file, used different Admin accounts, moved files, given permissions to other files (some things that I would consider very insecure, but I'm dealing with for the time being).

    I solved the issue:
    Adobe activation servers are using an old cypher that Microsoft advised against using due to the FREAK vulnerability.  I applied a policy that stopped the cypher from being used.  After Microsoft released an update this past week, I removed the policy as it was supposed to be safe, and now I can activate.
    So Adobe, get with the times and update your cyphers.  Also, stop blaming it on my ISP as I still cannot go to the activate.adobe.com web page, but I am activated.  Stop trying to pass the blame.
