Lightroom CC won't open

I see from the forum that this is an issue.  Maybe Adobe will notice and work up some sort of fix.  I was able to download LR CC and it does show up in launchpad and it is on my computer, but when I try to open it, it acts like it is going to open, but then shuts down.  No error message or freezing, etc.  It just shuts down.  Any word from Adobe yet?  Has anyone found a fix for it?

Good question.  Anyone?


Go to your CC app, go to the top right, left click and check preferences and then sign out, and then sign back in.

     Just been given a fix by adobe .. On mac 10.10.3 yosemite

     Sign out of cc

Press Command-Shift-G and type /Library and hit enter.

Navigate to Application Support/Adobe

Open SLCache folder and delete all the contents.

Go back and open SLStore folder.

Delete all the contents there.

Open the Creative Cloud app again and sign in.

Open Lightroom now.

That Adobe fix of deleting stuff didn't work either.  I used the app when I first downloaded it, and now what am I supposed to do to get work done NOW?!!!

Same here does the same thing.  I've already uninstalled LR5 and tried the installation of Lightroom CC at least three times.  I hope a fix come quickly this is unacceptable.

This could still be licensing related---

What if you try renaming both the SLCache and SLStore folders prior to launching Lightroom?

Locations of both of these folders are located in Solution 3 of this document: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/unable-launch-lightroom-55.html

If you'd like to change permissions first as a test, then renaming the folders and report back the findings of both methods, that'd be great!

Let us know how it goes.

I cleared the files in the SLStore folder and it started!

Signed out of Creative Cloud and restated it and Signed back in and then LR CC (2015) restarted just fine.

Same problem, Mac OS 10.9.5. No other problems, LR 5 runs fine. LR CC DOA. I have heard that the standalone installer works - I'm trying that now.

I haven't tried the stand alone installer. Could somebody kindly link me? The only installer I found forces me to install it using CC Manager.

I started the CC trial and Lightroom 5 trial 5 days ago.  I installed Lightroom CC this evening.  When I try to open Lightroom CC it flashes the "Trial" screen and nothing else happens. Windows 7.

As with several others, I had the same problem, but after signing out from Creative Cloud and signing back in, Lightroom CC did launch.

Solved!

I got the same issue: splash screen and then nothing.

Solution:

Sign out from Creative Cloud app and sign back in.

How to sign out from Creative Cloud app?
Click the Creative Cloud app icon, click the gear on the top right corner, and choose Preferences...

Click on Sign Out

Reinstalling Lightroom CC did not work for me.
Rebooting the computer did not help either.

OS X: Yosemite 10.10.3


Thank you!

I hope that helps.
