Spent 400 bucks on Creative Suite, Servers down for 8 hours now, cant use it GRRRRRR

I will NEVER use creative cloud for exactly this reason!!
tried instant chat with the help desk... every 2 hours they tell me its gonna take 2 hours !!!!!
I get it ! servers go down all the time all over the world BUT why dont they have a way i can speak to someone who will just activate it.
I guess my project thats due monday will just have to fail.
It would have been easier to download a dodgey copy of the web than actualy pay 400 bucks which is alot to a student.
I wanna refund!

  • Catastrophic licensing failure ... Creative suite shuts down ... now I can't reinstall it ... HELP!!

    Catastrophic licensing failure ... Creative suite shuts down ... now I can't reinstall it ... HELP!!
    I was in the middle of a project, not terribly time-sensitive ... YET ... but this is the strangest, most frustrating problem I have encountered with Creative Suite yet.

    Did anybody reply to your post?
    I am also having a "Upgrade Check" licensing issue going from
    Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium to Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium.
    Wish we could contact an actual Adobe Technician.
    Oh well

  • Adobe Servers refuse download of Creative Suits - Server down?

    I'm trying to download CS5.5 Design Standard, however the Adobe Servers return "Access Denied" for every edition linked on this site: Download CS5.5 products
    Are the servers down for maintenance or something?
    Nevertheless, I really need the software package asap. Why are there no mirrors provided by Adobe in cases like these?

    Yes. Why don't you try it for yourself?
    Fails (as it is linked to by the site): http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/DSGN/CS5_5/win32/DesignStandard_CS5_5_LS4.7z
    Works with a certificate warning (cert does not apply to trials3.adobe.com): https://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/DSGN/CS5_5/win32/DesignStandard_CS5_5_LS4.7z
    As I said: Browser unrelated, as its the servers response thats the issue here.
    So please fix your servers!

  • Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite: New Choices for Customers

    Adobe has announced the new Cloud-based model for software distribution, along with new terms for boxed product upgrade eligibility. Beginning with the CS6 releases, when they happen, upgrade pricing on boxed products will only be availble one generation back. There is a limited window to upgrade now to the current versions at a discount.
    See http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2011/11/adobe-creative-cloud-and-adobe-creative-suite -new-choices-for-customers.html

    Eugene:
      Based on the current information we have (from the blog post), which may not be correct and which you should not rely upon:
    There is some confusion about the word "discount." As used in the blog post, in general there are no "discounts" for upgrades, there is the upgrade price and there is full price. But, also in the blog post, there is a special "discount upgrade" if you choose to upgrade to CS5.5 today (prior to Dec. 31, 2011), which is 20% off the regular upgrade. However, Peter used the word "discount" to distinguish between upgrade pricing and full price. It's probably a good idea to avoid using that word there because of the potential for confusion.
    I have CS5 InDesign in work. So I will be able to upgrade that to CS6 when it comes out at the discount price?
    You will be able to upgrade to CS6 at upgrade pricing. Not the 20% discount, but it is "discounted" from the full price of CS6.
    I'm still using CS2 Illustrator and Photoshop, for the little work I do in those programs, they're fine. But if I want to upgrade them to CS6 I have to pay the full amount of an upgrade, with no discount... or will I have to pay for CS6 in full for both of these programs?
    You will have to pay the full price (not the "full amount of an upgrade," whatever that means).
    If you elect to upgrade to CS5.5 prior to Dec. 31 of this year, however, then then you can pay the discounted upgrade price to upgrade to CS5.5 (well, CS5 since Photoshop CS5.5 doesn't exist), and then you can pay the CS6 upgrade price in March/April. So you can pay for no upgrades (full price) or two upgrades (one of which is 20% off).
    At the moment I can upgrade CS2, photoshop and Illustrator for €240 each, to CS5. So wouldn't I just be able to do that now and then buy the CS6 upgrade at a much later date perhaps just before CS7 comes out?
    Yes, you can do that.
    If CS6 has the tools to basically go "File>Export>Epub" and I get a fully working epub file without having to trash about in code afterwards or make complex tagging in InDesign, then I'll be buying it.
    It looks like EPUB is evolving pretty fast, so even if ID CS6 fully supports what you want out of EPUB on Day 1, I bet you'll need to be prepared to postprocess it on Day 2. Or at least long before Day 200.

    Hello, I bought and subscribed to Creative suite in June, for Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign and Bridge, but my subscription is telling me I only have Photoshop, can you tell me how to rectify this error, so i can download creative suite onto my desktop

    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 have a Student license for Creative Suite 5.5 for WINDOWS. Is there a way to transfer it to MAC?

    I have a Student license for Creative Suite 5.5 for WINDOWS. Is there a way to transfer it to MAC?
    As I'm satisfied with what I've got. I would like to avoid purchasing a new license for almost exactly the same thing.

    Hi Sven,
    Welcome to Adobe Forum,
    Please delete the C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Adobe\AAMUpdater directory.
    Rename the C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE\OPM.db to OPM.old
    Then please try reopening your web browser and downloading and installing the Creative Cloud application fromhttps://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud.
    Or you can try:
    Until this gets sorted out, here are the Creative Cloud direct download links...  As/when needed, you can use these to download the Windows or Mac OS installers for any CC program without using the Adobe Desktop App manager.
    Please refer to : http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-creative-cloud-installation-download .html
    Hope it helps you.
    Regards,
    Rajshree

  • Creative Suite 2 Premium for Mac download problem

    I have Creative Suite 2 Premium for Mac and have tried to install it and have been directed to http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/ to download a version that will work. According to the install PDF there should be 7 files to download, I can only see 5. There appear to be 2 files missing for the premium version where can I find these please? I've been sent to the forums by a member of the Adobe live chat team.

    That PDF is dated June 2005. I assume it has not been updated for the re-packaged non-activation CS2 downloads, which were made available in Dec 2012.
    Try downloading and installing what's there and see if anything's missing once you've finished installing.
    Or have you already done that? If so, can you be specific about what is definitely missing and we'll try lobbying Adobe to fill in the gaps.

  • I bought creative suites over 3 years, but now cannot update and registered in my account, the error massage are:This serial number has already been registered. Products can only be registered once.

    i bought creative suites over 3 years, but now cannot update and registered in my account, the error massage are:This serial number has already been registered. Products can only be registered once.

    The message is correct.  You can only register a product once... there is no need to register again after you do it the first time.  You can re-install and activate with the serial number, but there is no need to re-register.

    You cannot install CS5.5 Windows onto your Mac.
    You must either purchase a new copy of CS6 for your Mac or join the Creative Cloud (and pay the monthly fee).
    If you join the Cloud you can then install CS6 (and soon version CC) on both your Mac and Windows for the same membership fee.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. From your descripion I suspect a hardware problem.
