Hi there,

My name is Andrea. I have a MAC MINI with two partitions. One with OS X 10.9.3 and the second with WIN7. On both I am running Adobe CC app. On MAC partition is working fine. On WIN7 I had an issue. At some point any applications I tried to open were doing a loop asking me to sign in, Saying that it is fine, I am logged in and I can ontinue to use the app then next screen was asking me again to log in.

1. Today I uninstalled each application. I ran Adobe_Creative_Cloud_Cleaner_Tool selecting to remove ALL.

2. I restarted WIN partition.

3. Installed again the Creative Cloud Desktop app.

4. Installed InDesign, for example.

5. Then I tried to open InDesign. Same issue. Let me illustrate it for you.

InDesign installed without errors.

Instalation confirmed. the InDesign is OK and updated.

Confirmation that I am logged in.

Launching InDesign. That screen is poping up. Why? Have no clue. Anyway, I hit SIGN IN.

Then the next screen is poping up. I hit CONTINUE.

Well, SURPRISE. Am I in Twilight Zone or what?

So, I tried another approach. I selected NOT YOUR ADOBE ID. I filled in the informations and hit SIGN IN, again.

Will it work this time? Hmmm.

NOUP. Something is wrong.

Kindly help me to solve out the issue. I would not want to install WIn again, but if it is the only solution, let me know.

Best regards,

Andrea

Andrea if disabling AVAST has not changed the behavior then perhaps a selective start up to temporarily disable any other third party software?

You may also want to try implementing solution 2 in CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.

Well, I will take time over the weekend and try again by disabling AVAST. There are few people that even recommend me to get rid of it. If will not work will try the solutions you pointed out. Thank you for your support.

Best regards,

Andrea

No. It is a solo license. I am using AVAST as AV for Windows. I'll try to disable it during removing/installing Adobe's products.

Andrea are you on a managed network?  If not then I would recommend looking at your installed security software as it could cause the behavior you are describing.
