Error in creative cloud

Hi all, I have a creative cloud account (through my university). I am able to download creativ cloud, but when I go to download apps, I get the erre "You don't have access to manage apps. Permission from your IT administrator may be required to enable apps management". I have contacted the IT administrator who said he wasn't the person to help. Can anyone here suggest a solution? Thanks, Hannah

    I'm using mac

     


    Kindly go to the desktop, select the "Go" option from top side>> Go to folder>> Enter this location in the search box: /Library/Application Support. Once you are in, navigate to Adobe>> OOBE>> configs and check if you are getting a "serviceconfig.xml" file.

    Thanks for your reply (and sorry for my delayed response...I was shutting down my many tabs so I could restart my computer). I tried the above, but there is no 'configs' file/folder in the OOBE folder. Is there another place it might be? Thanks again, Hannah

    Hello,

    Please follow the below steps to fix the issue:

    1.) Navigate to the following location.

    > Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\Configs\

    > Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/Configs/

    2.) Locate the serviceconfig.xml file & copy it to your desktop folder. Open the file in Notepad (Windows) or TextEdit (MacOS).

    3.) In the serviceconfig.xml file, change the value of AppsPanel from false to true.

    4.) Save & Close the serviceconfig.xml file.

    5.) Relocate the same file to the original folder & overwrite the original file with the new file.

    6.) Restart the machine.
