Issues with access to tech support

I set my web browser for a high security and dialow any cookies etc. In that case, Adobe site does not show chat or phone numbers, which gives an impression that there is no support. Thanks to John T Smith I got this issue solved. My suggestion is to note this requirement  on the Home page.

 

I now get the chat link, but when I click on it, I get "Please contact your administrator for help". I am the company owner and only emploee, I am the administrator! What can be done?

    Unfortunately none of the sugestions actually addressed my original question:

     

    "I now get the chat link, but when I click on it, I get "Please contact your administrator for help". I am the company owner and only emploee, I am the administrator! What can be done?"


    @deda Eda,

    You have the only answers available to you.

     

    1. Creative Suite 6 and LR 5 are outdated and not supported.  Adobe cannot help you with anything except an activation count reset.  You use outdated software at your own risk.  It was NEVER  designed to run on modern operating systems. Depending on your system, it might work in compatibility mode or it might not.

     

    2. For product support, you need current software and a computer that meets the system requirements to run it.

    3. To speak to an agent, pick up the phone, M-F during normal business hours.

    There is nothing more this user-to-user community can say except goodbye and good luck! 🙂

    It sounds like something on your system is preventing Creative Cloud from doing what it needs to do. 

    • Boot up in Safe Mode.
    • Try disabling Firewall and Anti-virus temporarily.
    • Create a new computer user profile with administrative permissions.

     

    Hope that helps.

    I have apps with permanent licenses, so Cloud has nothing  to do with my problem.

    Thank you for your suggestion, Nancy. Can you please tell me what will
    happen to all my work once I stop paying the monthly fee?

    Creative Cloud software installs on your system the same as it always has. 

    The work files saved to your hard drive are yours to keep forever. 

    If you let the subscription lapse, the software won't start and you will need to uninstall it.

    Where did you buy your license? If you didn't knowingly buy a team or enterprise license, it is possible you were fraudently sold one, which will stop working.
