Question

Can't access Adobe Creative Cloud with message: "You've been signed out."

I have recently purchased adobe 's photography plan (only 2 days ago) and it has worked fine, until yesterday when I opened creative cloud and an error appeared saying: You've been signed out. Please sign in again to continue using adobe apps. If I click "sign in" a sign in menu will appear for about 2 seconds, and then it will bring up a loading screen saying "loading creative cloud". This will load for about 2 minutes. And then it will just go back to the "You've been signed out" page. This just creates a loop that will last seemingly forever. I've tried reinstalling, and if I look online it will tell me to check if my internet is working correctly, which it is. Not really sure why this is happening, but it is stopping me from using adobe only 2 days after I purchased it. Hopefully someone will have a solution to this, and thanks for reading

I have the same issue. Tried all the steps above (uninstalling, removing the files, etc). No result.

using a browser that allows popups and cookies, contact adobe support during pst business hours by clicking here, https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?rghtup=autoOpen
in the chat field (lower right), type AGENT
be patient, it can take quite a while to reach a human

I too have tried all the advice to no avail. This is a frustrating and time-consuming bug.

It's finally fixed! I have no idea how, but I loaded onto CC today and it opened normally completely out of nowhere. If anyone else is having the same problem, just try every possible solution, and keep opening CC every now and then (that's what I did, anyway)

clear your cached adobe credentials are stored in the OOBE folder.

 

Mac OS:

\User\<user name>\Library\Application Support\Adobe\OOBE folder.

To access the hidden user Library folder see*

 

Windows:

\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE folder.

To view the hidden AppData folder, see **

 

then reset the cc app:

to reset the cc desktop app, make sure it's in the foreground, then press:

Win: Ctrl + Alt + R
Mac: Cmd + Opt + R

if that fails, try to repair

clean your computer of cc files per http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
check for, and if available, update your os
restart your computer (don't skip this)

if you're unable to install the cc desktop app at this stage, use an administrator account (solution 4 here, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-missing-damaged.html)
use the desktop app to install your cc programs/trials
