"We Can't Verify Your Subscription Status"

Adobe won't let me use Premiere 2020, because they "can't verify [my] subscription status". I'm obvoiusly connected to the internet, since I'm posting this message; I've uninstalled and re-installed Premiere 14.0.3; I've checked my hosts file, and it's empty; all of my other Adobe apps work propery, including Cloud, Premiere 2019, AE 2019 and 2020, PS 2020, Illustrator 2020, Audition 2020, AME 2020. All apps are up-to-date.

What gives? I've been trying to get through to chat, but have been getting a "Sorry for the delay. We’re busier than expected. Thank you for your patience." message for literally the past 24 hours.
Anyone know how to fix this?

TIA

I feel for you, man. Adobe support was of absolutely no help to me either back when I first posted this.

Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing the Creative Cloud app? I don't think that worked for me, but might be worth a shot.

Please treat this as absolutely last-resort advice because it's a MASSIVE pain in the ass (and may not even work), but from what I remember, I had to uninstall everything, run the Adobe Cleaner tool and reinstall everything.

My honest advice for how to best deal with Adobe's broken cloud/subscription nonsense? Switch to Resolve. Stop giving Adobe your money. With a subscription model, they have zero incentive to release stable, fast, innovative programs. They can completely phone it in and release awful, bug-riddled nonsense, and they get your money just the same.
Hopefully you get to read this post before the mods blast it into oblivion! 😄

Thx.
Suddently it worked, without me doing anything. Now i wonder when it will start again. - In the middle of a urgent deadline ?
Putting this, and then all the glitches and work-arounds together, i'm seriusly thinking about your adwise concering Resolve, but we have a lot of presets and preproduced things for Premiere that have to be made again. But if it continues like this ( today i used several huors to fix a simple mp4 export ) i will make the switch.
