AdobeGCClient.exe

Hi,

We are also waiting for the update from Adobe to fix this issue.

I could install Visual C++ 2015 as instructed or rename the AdobeGCClient folder as suggested by a few users, but i'm hoping to get an office fix from Adobe. What is the suggestion at this point?

What can we do so that this does not happened again to my users PC's ?

The Adobe GC Client is used for licensing validation and to combat software piracy.  This is why Adobe isn't being exactly forthcoming with information on this issue and the client in general.  But as far as I can tell Adobe has been sneakily updating this client in the background for quite some time.  Using SCCM I was able to pull a list of all computers that have this client and their applicable version #'s and there are at least 7 different versions of this client in our enterprise.  It appears this client updates itself without admin rights and no one other than Adobe can tell us how, when or why this client updates.  We can only hope they learned their lesson with this whole debacle, causing issues for paying customers in the name of DRM.

Hi,

We have been receiving this error since April 25th. According the thread above we should have all had our Adobe's automatically update by now yet we are still receiving the same error. We have thousands of computers being affected by this and need a fix now. If the fix is to download and reinstall then I will need step by step instructions that can be distributed to the other employees explaining how to do this.

We need this fix done immediately. Please advise.

Adobe Acrobat DC (version)

Thank you,

The fact that adobe is updating components (and breaking them...) in an enterprise environment without the admins/users knowledge is extremely worrying. If you want to update something than do it through your SCUP catalog like any sane developer would.

Had the same issue on 3 workstations.  Installed the C++ 2015 redis x64  and no more error messages so far.

Just match the VC2015 library with the one installed on your system. (32bit/64bit) Or install both.

I'm getting the same error on Adobe Acrobat that we have purchased. I don't support cloud licensing as we only buy the licenses of Adobe products that we need and we will keep them on the computer. Is there any way to disable this licensing check?

I don't know how this could have automatically updated by itself...

I got this error this morning also.

Win10 surface running reader DC 2017 release | Version 2017.009.20044

Also have Acrobat pro - same version.

I got the error on boot up and just got it again when I was checking the version of Acrobat Pro DC.

Running Win 7 Pro-64bit with Acrobat Standard DC Version 2015.006.30280 through Dell Digital Delivery and getting the same AdobeGCClient.exe .dll error.  I used the cleaner and reinstalled and seemed to work fine until suddenly I was pushed an update... and of course it's doing it again now.  Hey Adobe, how about you turn off this push until you get this sorted out.  I spent a large chunk of my afternoon working on this, invoice is in the mail, you can pay with check or credit card.  Thanks!
