Unable to connect to company server

Hello

I've been having some trouble with the CC desktop app on my private laptop since some time. I've been in contact with the Support for some time now but so far they were not able to help me. This is why I want to ask the community. Maybe someone here has an idea how to fix it.

(I'm using CC in German, hence the error is in German. I will try to provide an accurate translation).

In the screenshot you can see the message I receive when I try to install any apps. It translates to "Not connected to company servers. Please check your connection with the company servers. If the problem persists, please contact your IT admin".

The problem is that this error occurs only on my (private) laptop no matter where I am. At the office I get the same error as at home (where I am the IT admin). Also, I am not using a company version of the CC but a private version. My workplace does not provide CC to us. I am also unable to access my Cloud files in the library or in the "Data" tab. The "Discover" tab also does not work.

As I just noticed while searching another thread I checked wheter my laptop is listed in my activated devices and it's not. I also have no way of activating it. I assume it would do that when I'm finally able to connect.

So far I tried about everything I could find as a possible solution (there where so many, I might forget something in the list below)

Uninstall and re-install CC
Repair the host-file
Use the CC cleaner tool
Disable my firewall (tried both at home and at work)
Uninstalling my Antivirus
White-listing the needed IPs/URLs (only possible at home)
Installing CC on a second laptop with the same network settings -> here it works which makes me believe its a problem with my primary laptop
All the support tips for resolving connectivity errors

I'm grateful for any help and I will willingful provide further information if needed.

Kind regards

did you renew your subscription?

or did you start a subscription using a different email address/adobe id?

Yes, I did renew my subscription. I changed from yearly payment to monthly payment though. And no, I did not change my email address.

Like I said, on other PCs/Laptops it works just fine it's just my main laptop where it does not work. On another laptop I borrowed at work it works just fine, but working on two laptops at the same time can not be a solution

start by removing your stored credentials on the problematic computer, https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/adobe-license-issues-keychain-credential-mgr.html

Thanks for your answer.

I am using my universities Email-address as I got a discount for being a student at the time I first created my CC subscription, but I pay for it individually (and by myself) and, apart from the Email-address, the university has nothing to do with it. The discount was also only valid for a year and it has run out. I am not sure if this already counts as an education subscription. I do not have any enterprise subscription, though I can see that my account has access to the "Enterprise PDF Developer" but I am nit sure if that means anything.

And no, I never had a Teams or Enterprise subscription on my laptop.

so, you have an individual subscription and NOT a teams and NOT an enterprise/education subscription, correct?

if so, have you ever had a teams or enterprise subscription on your laptop?
