I have been using my Adobe CC for two months without any problems now it is telling me license the software by entering a serial number? But I am already a student member?

Hi mmu0023,

I would suggest you to log out and log back in to the 'Adobe creative cloud' from preferences.

If this doesnt work then check the 'hosts' file

Location of 'Hosts' file

In Windows :-- C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts Open it using 'Notepad'

In Mac :-- Open Finder window --->on the top click on 'Go' ---> click on 'Go to folder' ---> type '/etc' ---> open hosts file with textedit.

If you see any Adobe entries in the hosts file simply delete all those entries and then save the file.

Now launch the software ---> click on license this software ---sign in

Thanks

Kapil
