Problems again and again with "Not yet installed"

Hello everybody,

I am slowly growing extremely unnerved about something that keeps on coming up all the f*&/ time.   I am a scubscriber to Adobe CC Photography Plan.   Again and again, when the CC-App restarts it tells me that Photoshop and Lightroom have not yet been installed.    But they are.   When I re-install them, it tells me that I´m in a test-phase.   I have gone through the process of de- and re-installing the whole and complete CC with every bit and piece but it always keeps on coming up.

I am then supposed to re-register my product.  

After that PS&LR work again but all my previous settings are gone.   I have to completely redo my workspaces again.   Also, the last time this happened (today), suddenly all lens profiles for the auto-lens distortion fix have vanished into nothingness.

I have also done the following things offered by the generic Adobe "support":  

1.   ran Hosts-file fixer (Result:   "0 Hosts filed repeaired")

2.   manually fixed Hosts-file folder by deleting everything referring to adobe in it, then replacing the original one with that new one

3.   gone through the procedure of checking the permissions for administrator & users.   They were already in the state that they should be in.

I wonder if this is something that has been occurring to other users and what you did to fix it.   Since it is utterly impossible to reach anyone anywhere in any way connected to an actual "Support", I am slowly but surely moving towards cancelling my subscription.   I have to be able to work on my stuff without constantly fearing that there will be an interruption or that I have to continually start from the beginning agan.   That´s really totally unacceptable and I don´t get it that this happens to such a large player like adobe.

Sooo.. . .

if anyone has a way to offer me assistance since Adobe cannot, I would be really greatful.

in any way,

have a good day.

Heiko

Correct answer Jeffrey_A_Wright

Hi Jeff,

I had done the deinstallation with the client several times before:   After re-installing, first the little button on the button said "up to date" only to switch, after about 20 seconds, to "Test Version". . .

I had done this several times without success so I guessed something was really screwed up.   That´s why I chose to just completely x everything out of my computer and completely reinstall every installer and software once again.


Ok thank you for the update Heiko.  What other utilities do you utilize Heiko?  Are they any system optimization utilities that may also be affecting the licensing of the installed Adobe applications?

Moving this discussion to the Adobe Creative Cloud forum.

Heiko and Rose what operating system are you both utilizing your Creative Cloud membership on?  Is the computer managed by an organization or are you an individual user and administrator of the computer?

well, I am using the following utility programs:

1.  Kaspersky Internet

2.  Tune-Up Utilities

. . .but basically I´ve been using these for several years now with no problems.

For the moment I´ll just wait and see how the new installation "behaves", otherwise I´ll follow your advice and contact customer care.

thanks and have a good day!
