I'm trying to install Creative Cloud on my Mac. Installation finishes successfully, but then CC won't open. Not message or anything, just nothing happening when I want to open the programm. Have repeatedly deinstalled and reinstalled, deleted the whole Adobe folder in the library, run the Cleaner Tool. All did not help. If I check Activity Monitor, each time I try to open CC, a new AdobeCRDaemon task will start. Any idea what else I could try?
(Might be related to older Adobe installations I had running on my old machine, based on which I have set up my new machine.)

what's your os version?
did you download and then install the cc desktop app (as opposed using time-machine or some other migration method)?

Thank you. Unfortunately, that are the steps I already tried (and just tried again, no success) (except for the first two, if I cannot open the cc app, impossible to reset). So still the same issue, cc app just won't open
