acrobat pro dc "this feature is not included in your current acrobat license" dialog selecting "Create PDF"

I have a Creative Cloud license.  I installed Acrobat Pro DC on my Mac.  When I select "Create PDF" from the Tools tab, I get a dialog box with "this feature is not included in your current acrobat license".  I have already contacted my adobe administrator at work and they confirmed I am licensed. 


The same dialog comes up for "Edit PDF" and "Export PDF".


I have tried this on 2 different Mac with my login, and experienced the same issue.  (One is El Capitan, and the other is Yosemite OS)


Please advise on how to get this working.


Thanks!

Correct answer joyceH

This solved my problem:

1. Close acrobat

2. open regedit

3. goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\Activation

4. change "Disabled" to 1

5. restart acrobat

6. click on activate when the screen pops up

7. restart acrobat

No change. Also, I uninstalled and reinstalled it. Same behavior. Very puzzling, but hopefully you have some more ideas.

It still doesn't work.  What else should I try?  I am working on a project and need this to work soon/now.

Please double check if you are trying to edit the PDF in Acrobat DC not Acrobat  Reader DC.
