    Background info, not a solution... Important to note that the "trial versions" are exactly the same software. If you are offered a trial, it's because it doesn't see your subscription when it tries to check with Adobe. So you get the same thing as someone with no subscription. Some causes include

    - logged on to Creative Cloud as a different user

    - no connection to the internet

    - firewall blocking access to Adobe 

    - your company or ISP blocking access to Adobe

    - local blocks stopping access to Adobe (some malware does this deliberately)

    There are also a number of things that can go wrong technically, which is where we often need Adobe's help.
