Error 207 whenever I try to use any Adobe program

Question

This evening I tried to use Photoshop for the first time in a couple of months. It refused to run, saying that it could not contact the Adobe server to verify my subscription. I tried three times with the same result every time. I tried disabling my anti-malware program (MalwareBytes) temporarily. It didn't help. I then tried running Creative Cloud. It told me it needed to repair itself and tried to download and run the installer -- but then it gave me "Error 207; The server is currently not responding. Please try after some time."

What is wrong and how do I fix it?

Jon, Error 207 indicates the Creative Cloud desktop app is unable to contact our server. Great work on disabling Malwarebytes.

If you manage the network yourself, then please check with your Internet Service Provider the network is using their recommended settings.
