We can't verify your subscription status

[dashamoony]

Installed Win 11, Creative Cloud app, and trying to launch Photoshop, but every time I try - I get the "We can't verify your subscription status" error.

I have active Photography plan.

Also CC is periodically saying that sync failed and now I have to use offline mode.

I have internet access. I haven't launched Adobe CC and Photoshop without internet access.

If I click on the link in the step 1, page opens which says "503 Service Temporarily Unavailable"

i see that, too.  it's an adobe issue and not indicative of a connection problem.

do you have an education, enterprise or teams subscription?

Problem was resolved with downloading AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool, launched it as Administrator and cleaned the hosts.
