When I enter my email and password i get the following message.

"Unable to authenticate your Adobe ID. Sign in again with your Adobe ID and password to continue using Adobe aps."

When I tried to download previously I was supposed to receive an email to authenticaet my ID and it never came.  Since then this message keeps popping up.

When you get this error message in CC desktop client at sign in, remove folder OOBE and content of folders SLStore and SLCache.

1. On Mac use Activity Monitor, on Windows Task Manager and terminate all Adobe and CC processes (CoreSync, Creative Cloud, CC Library, Adobe Desktop Service etc.)

 

2. Then delete folder OOBE
Windows
C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
Macintosh
Macintosh HD/Users/[your username]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE

 

3. Delete whole content (files and folders) in folders
Windows
C:\Program files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\SLCache
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\SLStore

Mac
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLCache
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLStore

 

4. Launch Creative Cloud client and sign in.

I’ve tried all of these things and I’m still having no luck. On MacBook Air and I can’t even install cc because it says it can’t authenticate my account and logs me straight out! Please help!

I'm experiencing the same thing, uninstalling and selecting "repair" didn't fix it! Did you happen to find a solution?

Had this problem just now and found a solution. I'm on a Mac running Sierra.

Tried re-installing Creative Cloud, that did nothing.

Tried uninstalling Creative Cloud, which gave me the option to repair or uninstall. I picked uninstall, but it wouldn't let me because I had CC apps either open or installed.

Opened uninstall Creative Cloud again, but this time selected repair and that did it!

Check your spam folder. Sometimes the authentication emails get flagged since they come from an Amazonws address instead of Adobe.
