My subscription is up to date and running, but I get this message in the middle of Develop Module in Lightroom: "Develop module is disabled. Please renew your membership to reactivate the Develop module" Same goes for Map. Book and Library are working.
Hello Phil
If you are having this issue still please try the following troubleshooting steps.
Solution 1: Sign out of Lightroom 5.5 and then sign back in with your Adobe ID. This will activate the subscription again since you are seeing that it is showing as a trial.
Solution 2:
Set permission to SLStore & SLCache Folder ::
NOTE: Perform this procedure two times, once each for the SLCache and the SLStore folders.
Mac:

1. Sign out of Adobe Creative Cloud completely and close Lightroom
2. Empty the folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\SLCache
3. Launch Lightroom - you should be asked to Sign in to Adobe CC.

Please try the following:
1. Quit Lr
2. Sign out from the Creative Cloud app
3. Sign back in
4. Relaunch Lr
Let us know if that does the trick. Very sorry for the hassle.

Julie, thank you for your swift response
After doing this I could not launch Lr at all....though I am not EXACTLY sure what you mean by ‘sign out of CC app’??

Click on the little cc icon (the two intertwining loops) in your menu bar or bottom bar. Click on the little gear icon. Click on Quit. Then restart CC by finding it in the finder (just type creative in the looking glass bottom right) or in the windows start thingie.
I have also noticed that with CC issues, it often actually helps to reboot the entire machine. The creative cloud app is quite flakey and often doesn't notice what you have installed.

Actually, what I meant by sign out (and I see now it's rather buried) is to go to the settings menu in the upper right corner of the CC app - looks like a gear - choose Preferences, then the Account tab, then click "Sign Out from Creative Cloud". I don't think quitting CC is necessary.

Yeah that is the way to sign out and back in. I suggested restarting the entire app because just signing out and back in doesn't help if the creative cloud thingie is not aware of what you have installed. You can often see this in the apps tab where 50% of the time it doesn't actually know what you have. Restarting the app makes it "reconnect" with your installed apps for some reason.

That's actually what I was doing. Tried it again no joy, actually a window pops up suggesting I uninstall and re install Lightroom!!!! I think there was also mention of an Error 16 and the suggestion I contact support....well here I am!

Ah just got your other message....I'll have another look..

OK done all that, launched LR and now I am getting a new message...I can trial the product for 30 days!! Then I have to buy....what AGAIN!?! SO I check the register button and the bottom and sign in and now all SEEMS to well again.
Listen, thanks to you all for your prompt support tonight - appreciated!

Firstly, thanks to the support team who were able to help me quickly and get me back up and running again...good work guys!
Solution 1 did it here. A secondary issue was that I was not sure how to sign out and back in to CC Lightroom and at first I was not doing that properly. Once I had it explained I was able to do that properly.
But then Lightroom then told me I had a 30 day trial – at the bottom there was a register Lightroom button which I clicked and it worked again. BUT next time I launched Lightroom I had a trial expired message and again I chose to register Lightroom and that seems to be OK now.
Many thanks

On a Mac running 10.9.3 had the same problem went through the fix and it was the last one of renaming the cache folder that finally got it to ask me to sign in with creative cloud membership to get the develop module working again.
Thanks for the fix.

Hello... I was having the same problem as everyone else and followed your instructions but could find neither SLStore nor SLCache. On my Mac running Mavericks neither folder exists. So.. I created two empty folders and called them SLStore and SLCache and hey I'm a happy bunny again. Just thought I'd share.

Thanks for posting this Scott.
Having the same issue here and Solution 3 solves it for me but only on a temporary basis. Each time I shut the system down and then load up again later or another day the same issue occurs again. Really frustrating as I have to repeat the process each time.
Any other ideas? Thanks
