Download & Install

I recently restored my Mac from a time machine backup. Since then, Creative Cloud and all apps would not start, and instead showing the Creative Cloud needs to be repaired message. This dialogue would then freeze. I have done a complete wipe of Creative Cloud and all apps multiple times following these instructions: https://helpx.adobe.com/au/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html On attempted reinstall, Creative Cloud commences installation but freezes between 20% - 80%.  I have since managed to install Creative Cloud and Photoshop by logging into a different user account on my Mac. Photoshop and Creative Cloud works as expected on this new account. However, when I attempt to start Photoshop on my primary Mac account, it starts to load and then freezes on the 'adding package... Halide Bottlenecks.' It never progresses past this stage. Creative Cloud also freezes and will not launch. Does anyone have any suggestions to get Photos

Hi,I've been using After Effects CS6 to work on a project the last few days. I closed it this morning and came back to reopen it I get a "Renew your Subscription" notice.I don't have to renew a subscription for After Effects CS6 as this was purchased retail years ago. I get the same notice for Photoshop CS6. Interestingly, I don't have this problem with Premiere CS6 for some reason.I did have CC subscription for a few months because I needed the latest AE CC for a specific project. I cancelled my subscription as I no longer require it. So I'm guessing that this issue is somehow related to that.I'm not finding any answers anywhere and this is causing me major headaches. Help!Thanks,Dale

Stop working?Asked Adobe and the bot reckons I need to upgrade to the latest 'pay by the hour' version.Fook that!It's why I bought the damn CDs in the 1st place.Anyone got any clue as to how I can either Validate the software, OR prevent it from Deactivating at the end of 30 days..??And please don't tell me the newst vewrsion is so much better.It ain't broke, so I ain't fixin to "fix" it...P'd off with Adobe.I paid GOOD money for this software and have barely used it.

Hi, I subscribed to a 3 year student plan contract from August, 2019 onwards and am aware of the constant increase in subscription charges. I assumed my plan would be terminated upon the end of the 3 years (August 2022) but I am still getting charged for the plan. And when I try to cancel it, they ask me to pay the very expensive cancellation charges. The contract is for 3 years, I do not understand. PLEASE PLEASE HELP ASAP. 

My bank account is being charged $31 each month by Adobe Systems. I logged into my Adobe account and went to manage plans and I have no plans? I'm confused as to why each month I'm being charged for something, but I do not even have a plan with Adobe? I would like this to be canceled but am unsure how I can when I don't even see the plan under my account?Please, help!

I run Acrobat on my work laptop and PC. For some reason, after I formatted my PC and tried to install Acrobat again it says The serial number XXX_XXX_XXX_XXX is already in use by the maximum allowed computers. You need to deactivate another computer within 29 days to use this product. Since it is showing no activated devices, how do I deactivate it?
