Hello All.
I keep trying to open up Adobe Acrobat Pro and it keeps closing and opens the application "AcroLicApp," which says "Sorry, Something Went Wrong. More Information
Please try launching Acrobat first or contact your administrator. Learn more."
I have the full Adobe Creative Cloud Suite through an "Adobe for Enterprise" licence.
I have tried installing and deleteing Adobe Acrobat Pro multiple times through the Adobe Creative Cloud launcher, and I have tried logining in and out of it to no avail.
Hopefully someone can help.
Regards,
Chris
Dear All,
I solved the issue. All which was required was to not only uninstall Acrobat using the creative cloud launcher/installer, but also delete all files with "acrobat" in finder. That solved the issue for me after I reinstalled it. Hope it works for others.

This is MacOS 10.15.6 Early 2015 MacBook Pro. All of my other Adobe apps work, excluding Distiller.

Hi Chris,
We are sorry for the trouble. As described you are getting the error 'Something went wrong' on Mac OS
We need some more information to investigate the issue in detail:
1. What is the version of the Adobe Acrobat DC you are using? To check the version go to Help > About Adobe Acrobat.
2. Do you have any security software installed that might be causing the issue? If yes, what is the security software you are using?
Please collect the machine logs as described here https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-log-collector.html and upload the logs on the Document Cloud https://documentcloud.adobe.com/link/home/ , generate the link and share it with us.
Also please share the file from the location "/Users/<USER_NAME>/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist" for testing.
Regards

Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately Adobe Acrobat does not open at all, and after opening briefly up on the dock, it closes itself and opens up "AcroLicApp" - Version 20.012.20048 (20.012.20048). As I have continuously deleted and downloaded Adobe Acrobat, I would assume that it would be the lastest version. I have a feeling that it might have been the update which changed the logo, which caused the issue. However, I cannot fully remember this being the case, as I feel like I was using it fine for a brief period after it updated. Only security software installed is MalwareBytes. I just did a scan and it says that my computer is fine.
I ran the logs scan and it says that they are already uploaded to the Adobe LogCollector Portal under the file name, "AdobeLogs_20200929_181553_959-mac.zip" Unfortunately "Sharing restrictions are in place" on my Adobe document cloud, so I can't share the file using this medium. The plist file is https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nsnQzuxRK5rcjgVeo7c9EaKFHCZTEsmS/view?usp=sharing, using my personal GDrive account.

Dear Amal,
I previously wrote that I solved the issue. However, I'm at the office now working behind another desktop computer and the 1st trick doesn't seem to work (rename/delete: com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist then run $ sudo killall cfprefsd in Terminal).
Could you please explain in detail how to performe workaround 2?
(Add IsNGLEnforced key. And run $ sudo killall cfprefsd in Terminal and check)
Thank you in advance
Best, Dwi

I have the same problem. What's worse, I am using a business license. So when I try to get help from Adobe, I get shot down with, "Please contact your administrator for help. A member of your organization is a designated contact for issues with your Adobe products. Reach out to your administrator or IT contact for help." However, my IT team cannot solve the issue - they have run out of options and have no more ideas.
I have uninstalled all Adobe products, deleted all uninstalled files, emptied all trash, rebooted, checked for any remaining apps or files with Adobe or Acrobat in the title, logged out from the online identity on all my devices, rebooted again, and then started with a clean download of Creative Cloud. Same exact thing happens.
All other products in the CC suite work, just not Acrobat (the one I need daily).
Will Adobe choose to help me? I sure hope so!

I honestly thought I was never going to get anywhere with it after the first few reach outs for support.
Unilstall acrobat first by using the uninstaller tool or using creative cloud. Then go to aplication support, cashes and prefences, and delete anything you can find regarding acrobat there and AcroLicApp. In essence, you want anything remotely related to Acrobat gone. I would even go as far to uninstall all apps and delete everything remotely related to adobe everywhere to guarantee it will work. That's the fastest solution,

Same issue for me. Acrobat worked fine until my institution switched to an enterprise license. I had to remove Acrobat to be able to install CC and other apps. All other apps now work, but Acrobat throws up "Sorry something went wrong. Please try launching Acrobat first or contact your administrator. Learn more." any time it is opened. Local IT support has given me a numbers of things to try including the clean up tool, which won't allow me to clean the "Fix Host File" item. I've tried to do it manually, all options have failed and I still cannot open Acrobat. Did you every get a fix for this issue?
