Offline mode?

Hi all, I'm a paid creative suite user. All apps have not been working for several hours. I get a "We can’t verify your subscription status." when trying to log in.Adobe support has been non existent (their chat support also appears to be offline.. currently on hold for 45 mins). I checked Twitter, and while Adobe's feed hasn't mentioned the issue, I can see that several others are ASKING Adobe about the issue so it appears to be widespred.

 

First troubleshooting was to turn off my internet connection. However the problem persists. According to documentation, we are supposed to be able to use creative cloud for up to 30 days since our last login. They sometime refer to it as "offline mode" So what gives? Any workarounds?

    As many people are aware, the entire creative suite was down today for users around the world for many many hours.

     

    Aaccording to documentation, we are supposed to be able to use creative cloud for up to 30 days since our last login. In some of their documentaiton it is reffered to as "offline mode".

     

    I would presume that "offline mode" would have allowed us to work, despite any issues with Adobe's servers. I would love any strategies to prevent this in the future.

     

    I think I speak for MANY frustrated professionals.

     

    BTW, I already asked this question once, and a "Adobe Community Professional" quickly "solved" the issue by saying "Adobe acknowledges a problem with their system: " and then locked the thread. I wouldn't call that a solve, so I am starting a fresh thread so we can troubleshoot.

      Yeah, it's shocking to me that they don't have a workaround.  We lost several thousand dollars in revenue today and haven't gotten anything but excuses from Adobe.

        This is an unforgivable fiasco to lose an entire day (so far) because our entire workflow is out of our hands and in those of Adobe's servers. Creative Cloud works great....until there is no Cloud. No phone support (I got a callback after almost 2 hours  and then spent 1.5 hours on hold before giving up) and no online support (chat service is offline). Users are left in the dark. As much money as we pay, and as heavily invested as we are in the Adobe ecosystem, that system should be bulletproof. Unforgivable Adobe.
