Fonts takes too long time to get installed

utterly ridiculous spending all the money we pay making sure nobody can crack the software more important than user experience

Me too. Not really sure why Adobe hasn't been able to solve this problem in over two years, though I have to confess it is fairly recent for me. 

Just saw this thread. Yes, from time to time I have problems to get fonts activated from an application. What I do in that case is to go to fonts.adobe.com and activate the font manually. It's not as it should be, but it works. As this is, as it seams, only an intermittant problem, happening rarely, I never gave it a big thought. 

What I detected, however, was that my IT did effectively block some of Adobe's services and that caused a major disruption. Each time I evaded our firewall and proxy setup, It did work fine. As soon as my IT allowed all Adobe services to pass, I had olnly marginally troubles. So it is really worth to investigate if Adobe services are blocked. 

BTW: Don't trust your IT when they say they did not block Adobe services. If they aren't really part of the game, they may not know. A good starting point is here: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html

Same issue.

Same problem here, sometimes the font would never get activated with 5 min even more.

Really disappointed that this has not been fixed with two years passed

Guys, i found the fastest way to fix the font issue (temporarily) is by restarting the computer! yea this sounds stupid but works for me! so when you get frustrated try this out.

Hope they fix this soon, this really affecting my work so bad! 

This happened to me when I signed out of my adobe suite to use it on my home computer. Upon coming to work today, all my fonts were having to be reactifated?  [inappropriate language removed by moderator] Adobe. Honestly lost a morning already

May 2021 still a problem ... since 1 or 2 yeasrs.. please FIX THIS ! 

I don't see a point in telling you "when" the issue is happening.. being it the date and time or using the app or the website... because it's ALWAYS the case! ALWAYS since A LONG ASS TIME !! a few years ago, it worked perfectly!  i took like 2 seconds to activate any font... so it clearly is possible...  

Sometime it takes up to 20 minutes???? we work on timelines an sometimes its a matter of 15 minutes ! how are we gonna work like that ?  ( no even talking about fonts we use for a whole ass branding for a client, that then suddenly aren't available anymore... try explaining that to a client who has no money to then buy the font that was free when we chose it... for like 500$) 

on top of that, when indesign automatically tries to install the missing fonts... it doesn't work at all, and messes up the whole indesign because it's constantly loading and trying to install... an then there's no way around... i need to go install that font manually, an close the whole programm for that task to go away an indesign working "properly" again.... this is so ANNOYING an takes so much time!! 

GOSH i can't deal with this anymore .... fix it please...! 

May 2021 still a problem

April 2021 and the problem is still here. It's been over 20 minutes and this font still will not appear in my CC app or in Illustrator. It is beyond aggrivating and is a continual waste of time during my work day.
