Found the fix for it on a different forumn.
Adobe Community Professional kglad helped me solve the problem after I followed the following:
"check your account to verify your subscription is what you expect and to verify your adobe id, https://accounts.adobe.com
then
1. if you're able to open your cc desktop app and if it shows a subscription sign out and then back in to your cc desktop application using the same adobe id used to verify your subscription: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html
2. if that fails, or you're unable to open your cc desktop app:
first, reset the cc app:
to reset the cc desktop app, make sure it's in the foreground, then press:
Win: Ctrl + Alt + R
Mac: Cmd + Opt + R
if that fails, try to repair
