InDesign CC won't open - stuck on 'please wait a moment' in Adobe Application Manager.

I updated InDesign CC to 2015 edition and now when I click on open, it takes me to Adobe Application Manager but then just sits on 'please wait a moment' with a spinning wheel. I have left it for several hours with no change. I have tried shutting down and relaunching both Adobe CC and InDesign and the same thing happens. I have logged out and back in again and the same thing happens. I am running OSX Yosemite.

I've had this all day.

I found a workaround....

while it's spinning, click to close it (you'll see very faintly, a login screen under the white window).

When it asks 'Yes or No' click no... and rather than it return to its hanging state, the hidden window comes to the front - now login, and all seems to proceed.

Hmm... ok - so it let me login, now all has gone .... oh, here we go.

I'M IN!

If you have problem with endless "Sign in" loop or "Validating software license" loop or if the message "Please wait for a moment" doesn't disappear after 10 minutes check following steps.

On Windows delete or rename following folders

C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\SLCache

C:\ProgramData\Adobe\SLStore

Then right-click the shortcut of CC application (e.g. Photoshop or InDesign), choose "Run as administrator" (or "More" > "Run as administrator"), enter your Adobe ID and password and clicks Sign in.

On Mac delete or rename following folders

~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE   (in user Library folder)

/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLCache  (in main Library folder)

/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLStore

Then launch any CC application and Sign in.
