Issues with inconsistency in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC RE: staying logged in

Windows 10 pc with Creative Cloud (only Photoshop and Adobe Acrobat Pro DC installed).  

 

I am able to stay logged in to Creative Cloud and Photoshop have no issue and work just fine. I am continually logged in without any error message.  There is also about 1 out of every 10 times I open the program (either through Creative Cloud, or on its own -- as user or administrator), it will work just fine and my profile will be fully loaded. The rest of the time, I get "We can't verify your subscription status," but ONLY for Acrobat Pro DC.

 

The majority of the time, Acrobat Pro DC shows a default icon (instead of my profile icon), but says I am logged in. However, I receive the error window "We're having connection problems. We can't verify your subscription status" after the first few minutes in the program. 

 

When I try to sign out, I receive the error "Initalizing registration ... Please retry after a minute."  

 

Things I have tried thus far that have not worked

  • I tested my connection to the Adobe servers and both passed.
  • I've restarted my Credential Manager.
  • I reset my hosts file.
  • I don't have TrendMicro installed (so I didn't try that "fix")
  • I've checked the GlobalSign Root CA certificate. 
  • I have unchecked Enable Protected Mode and Enable Enhanced Security from the Acrobat Preferences.
  • I have disabled authentication proxy servers.
  • I've made sure the firewall isn't blocking ports 80 and 443.
  • When I log into the Adobe Acrobat Online (web version), I am signed in and can use it just fine. 
  • I have uninstalled everything, used the CCleaner, and done a clean install

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been trying to troubleshoot this on my own for 2 weeks now, to no avail.  The "sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't" is quite frustrating.

Hi Bellacat,

 

Sorry for the delay in response.

 

Please let us know if you are still experiencing this issue or have already been resolved.

Please try removing the application from the machine and sign out of the Creative Cloud application if the issue persists. Reboot the machine and try installing the Acrobat from this page: https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/download-install-acrobat-subscription.html. Try to launch the application and see if you can sign in.

 

Let us know how it goes.

 

Thanks,

Meenakshi

Thanks for the reply. I uninstalled Acrobat DC, signed out of CC, restarted, and then installed via the link you sent above. It worked initially, and then when I closed Acrobat and reopened it, my icon is gone (although it says I'm logged in), but I get the "We can't verify your subscription status" again. 😞
