Switching to Enterprise ID

I recently started a job that uses Enterprise log in. Because it took a while to get my account set up, I opted to start a personal 'trial' using my university email, now, however, Adobe won't let me even try to sign up via Enterprise and continues to revert back to my 'trial' free subscription.

I've tried logging out, back in, etc. But I can never get to the screen that Adobe shows where it allows the user the option of choosing the personal account or the enterprise account. It just keeps reverting to my soon-to-end personal trial account.

    Hi,

    You should be able to solve this by deleting your cached credentials on the system.

    The opm.db file contains cached user login information and deleting this file is a useful troubleshooting step. Once deleted a fresh file will be automatically created when you launch Creative Cloud and log back in.

      • Close the Creative Cloud application.
      • Navigate to the OOBE folder.
        Windows: [System drive]:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
        Mac OS: /Users/[user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE folder
      • Delete the opm.db file.
      • Launch Creative Cloud.

      If anyone stumbles across this thread, I had this issue with one of our student accounts. They had logged in without using the "Login with Google" button, and instead had typed their e-mail address in to the main field. This generated a personal adobe account under that name, and would not let that user ever get back to the appropriate sign in page (to select between work and personal).

      The way I fixed it was not anything listed in this thread, though deleting the OOBE folder has worked for this in the past. Today (2022-09-16) I had to go into the student's 'personal' adobe account that was generated with their school e-mail. and un-link their google account. This allowed their laptop to correctly go through the full sign-in process and select an enterprise account, instead of automatically jumping to the personal one.

      It's worth mentioning that this was windows profile specific, the issue did not occur on the same laptop on a test account. Deleting any and all of the adobe files (not just the OOBE folder) in appdata (local, locallow, and roaming) did not solve the stored credential issue on that student's profile though.

        Hi,

        No, this just removes the cached login credentials. If you have assets associated with an account they will still be in your Creative Cloud sync folder or you can also log in with that account to adobe.com to recover any assets.

        Browse, search, sync, and manage Adobe Creative Cloud assets https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/file-storage-quota.html
