I try to open AE and a window pops up saying "validating software license" then it closes and pops up again saying the same thing. It does this over and over again and it won't open AE. This is incredibly frustrating as i need to work. This is unacceptable for a software program relied on by so may as a means to make a living.

Correct answer OussK

Look like you have a license issue, go to you creative cloud account and check if you license still work so maybe you need to renew your license, also check other application in the adobe CC if it's work or not so you can figure out if this issue related to AE or all your CC program.
