CC stuck in loop - "start trial" - tried all fixes!
Hi everyone
I'm at my wits end as I'm having the CC loop issue.
What's happening
When I load the Creative Cloud desktop app it signs me into the account
Sometimes all the apps are either up to date or ready to be installed, sometimes it prompts me to "Start Trial".
When I load any of the apps it suddenly prompts me to sign in again.
It says "Thank you, CC will now be licensed8 and to click continue to enjoy the software."
When I do it waits for a moment and prompts me to sign in again. Also all the apps are usually asking me to start trial or install once I get to this point.
Things I've tried to fix it
Deactivated the activation in my account settings accessed via a web page (nothing else has registered there since). When I first logged into my account to remove it, it was showing two activations (as it should). One was for machine 1 (which does work) and was named correctly. The second was for something like "unknown computer" (I forget the exact name), I removed that and it hasn't shown a second machine activated since.
Uninstalled all apps
Uninstalled the CC app using the CC removal tool from the Adobe website
Reinstalled - no luck, same issue.
Deleted all cache/cookies in browser using CCleaner
Ran Malwarebytes
Checked hosts file
Checked proxy settings - it's set to automatic
Tried to reconnect via a VPN (in case that had something to do with the proxy, no luck)
I've also tried all the suggestions in these threads:
Stop Adobe Creative Cloud from opening in trial mode after purchase
Adobe Creative Cloud signs you out or asks you to sign in repeatedly
Resolve connection errors with Adobe Creative Cloud and Creative Suite applications
And now I'm absolutely stuck! Does anyone have a suggestion how I can get it going again?
Thank you!
