Why are the eLearning Brothers Characters not showing up in my Captivate Ribbon?

Hello there-  I've downloaded a few Characters from the Assets, but they're not showing up on my main Captivate Ribbon when I choose Media>Characters.  I've done this seamlessly in the past.  Any ideas about why they're not showing up there now?  I'm using Captivate 2017.

This is a know issue that we (eLearning Brothers) have brought to the attention of Adobe. They assure us that it will be fixed with the next update. In the meantime, you can get your cutout characters through the ELB library using the same credentials you use within Captivate and just insert them as you would any other image or media file.

Ah...okay, I couldn't figure out how to access the free ones.  I have updated Adobe credentials that didn't work on the eLearning Brothers website, but my older password did.  Thank you.

What do you mean by "the same credentials you use within Captivate"? I don't use any credentials within Captivate. Are you talking about a serial number? Hard to figure how that translates to a login ID and password...

A subscription license is linked to an Adobe ID, probably what the other user was talking about.

Even for a perpetual license, you have to register using an Adobe ID besides entering the serial number.

This is really something Adobe has to get fixed ASP. I was teaching client  last week who just purchased ten licenses for Captivate and of course during the class we experienced this problem. These assets are part of what you pay for! - Also the people who license the software are not necessarily the users hence the problem noted above. Can we encourage the powers that be to get this resolved?

Unfortunately the "powers that be" don't happen to live on this forum.  If you have an issue with the way Captivate works, the best avenue to get the attention of the people that build it is to log a bug / enhancement request using the form provided on the Captivate Community web page.

Thank you I know you are right after having had a number of issues with the software over the years - but thought I would say it anyway.

Here’s the URL and info from eLearning Brothers how to access the characters.  

“As a workaround, she can go to our website and download the characters from the library that you wanted to use. Please see on the link below:

https://library.elearningbrothers.com/cutout-people-images-home-page

Use the same credentials to login.”
