Why are my cc apps still launching in trial mode (mac 10.7.5)?

My apps are launching in trial mode. I've been a CC paying member for approximately 2 years. I've read the multiple (and I daresay convoluted) threads on this issue and it seems to be a widespread problem.
I'm not a techy person. I followed the basic steps I read in the assorted threads, none of which have resolved the problem for me. Can someone provide an answer?
I am uncomfortable with knowing that in a certain number of days my "trial" will expire and I won't be able to work. As a freelancer this is actually a non-negotiable requirement of my paid membership (and not that designers have other tool options - the creative suite is pretty much it!). Not to be snarky, but...seriously. Is this what we are paying all this money for?

Thanks, John, for the link. I ended up chatting with support and I'm embarrassed at the simplicity of the issue but I'm going to share my solution, because...if it happened to me, there is bound to be someone else in the same boat!
First of all, I had tried all of the various suggestions on the different forums: logging out/in, reboot, reinstall, add security certificate, etc. and nothing was working so I was getting really frustrated. Well, turns out I have two Creative Cloud accounts - one paid, and one free. I have no idea when or why that happened, but indeed, my main email was connected to the free account and trying to sync my CC software updates and so the trials were expiring. The paid account was connected to an email that I thought I had essentially phased out a long time ago.
I guess it's like calling the computer guy and then finding out the machine was unplugged. Oops!
I hope this might help some frustrated user.

  • Why are all my apps still in Trial mode?

    Hello,
    Running a Mid 2011 iMac with 10.8 and 16Gig ram
    I uninstalled my versions of CS6.
    Downloaded CC for desktop.
    Noticed that not all the apps could be downloaded.
    Checked my Account details, there were some fields empty. Filled in the missing info.
    All apps now could be downloaded from CC desktop.
    Downloaded Apps. When I opened them they all are starting in trial mode.
    I think I had done all your suggestions you have on your help pages.
    Still no joy.
    So
    Uninstalled all CC Apps.
    Downloaded them again.
    When I open them, same problem.
           Help!
            30 days then what will happen?

  • Why doesnt the netflix app have a continuous playing mode? I shouldnt have to select the next episode every 24 minutes.

    Why doesnt the netflix app have a continuous playing mode? I shouldnt have to select the next episode every 24 minutes. Even the cheap PS3 Netflix app supports this. 

    Compared to what?
    Does Netflix behave differently on other devices?
    Anyhow send feedback to:

  • CC subscription is current, but today all CC apps run only in TRIAL mode!?!

    This morning I get into the office, on a heavy deadline, and I'm screwed.
    My Creative Cloud membership is current, but suddenly, without any warning, ALL CC apps run only in TRIAL MODE.  Gee thanks, Adobe.
    What do I do now?
    Thanks for any help.

    Same problem here--I was on deadline, lost access to all my Adobe CS6 applications. According to the Adobe support tech I spoke with, the licensing process is corrupted and they're working on a fix. From the looks of the complaints on this forum, they've been working on it for quite awhile.
    Seems that IF your computer happens to be disconnected from the web when Adobe's cloudserver decides to send the "yup, he's paid up for this month" message, the system fails and your software shifts over to a 30-day trial. I was (seriously now) assured that all I had to do was make sure my computer was connected and ready for Adobe on my particular biiling cycle day (the 15th of the month) and then this would never happen.
    To fix the issue, I should click the "licensing" button, provide my Adobe ID and password, and all would be well until the following month.That worked for InDesign, didn't work for Photoshop or Fireworks. Failing that, I should uninstall and reinstall and relicense everything...and all would be well until the following month.
    I don't have time for these games; when I buy software I expect it to be available and I don't see why renting it should be any different. At the moment I'm out $30 worth of access.
    Fortunately, I'd never uninstalled my old CS5.5 collection. I'm sending a note to Adobe telling them to cancel my cloud subscription, and going back to plain old licensed software. If I ever need to upgrade CS apps again, I'll do them as-needed and stay the heck away from the cloud. Cloud SaS would be nice, but Adobe needs to get it right before they sell it.

  • Purchased Cloud. Programs Continue to Launch in Trial Mode.

    Several CS6 programs I downloaded as trials when they became available continue to launch in trial mode. I was told I would not have to reinstall those programs when the Cloud became available. The App Manager for Cloud lists those programs as installed. How do I get the programs to acknowledge the subscription when I launch them?
    Thanks,
    Bill

    Hi Bill,
    Sorry for not responding sooner. This is most likely the issue.

  • Why are the factory apps placed in the slots they are in when the phone is factory, what is the significance of their assigned spots

    Does anybody have any idea on why the stock/factory apps are placed in the dock and springboard in the slots they are when you do a full restore?

    the best answer anyone here can give is "Because that's what Apple decided."
    beyond that, nobody here knows.

  • HT4539 Why are all these apps only available for everything but my MacBook Pro?

    Itunes does not sell any apps at all for computers.
    Itunes ONLY sells apps for iphone/ipod/ipad.
    If you want an app for your Mac, tehn shop in th Mac App Store

  • Why are all my apps 32-bit on a Windows 8.1 desktop with 12GB RAM?

    Why are all my CC 2014 apps on a Windows 8.1 desktop with 12GB RAM 32-bit instead of 64-bit? 
    Thanks

    >don't see anything there regarding 64-bit applications
    You need to click on EACH program to read the requirements for THAT program
    System requirements | After Effects- Intel Core2 Duo or AMD Phenom II processor with 64-bit support
    System requirements | Adobe Premiere Pro- Intel Core2 Duo or AMD Phenom II processor with 64-bit support
    And so on... if the INDIVIDUAL page does say 64bit the program does not REQUIRE 64bit

  • Are there any apps to transfer Camera Roll to Mac/PC over Wi-Fi?

    Are there any apps that can grab photos from the iPhone's camera roll and copy them to a Mac or PC over Wi-Fi? There are apps like Air Sharing, Files Lite, Briefcase, etc., but none of them seem to have access to the camera roll. Any ideas?

    You can email them.

  • Why is my Acrobat Pro now running in "Trial" mode?

    Today when I attempted to launch Acrobat v10.1.12 (previously installed with CS6), I was prompted to sign in.
    When I signed in, I am alerted that I am running in “Trial” mode. I am licensed to use Acrobat Pro through my CS6 license.
    I recently signed up for CC in order to open and work on newer files provided to me.
    Is this issue is related to the CC subscription, and how can it be resolved?

    It could be CC taking over the CS software regardless that it should not.  See if the following related posting helps:
    How do I prevent Creative Cloud from taking over my CS6 perpetual license?
