I just subscribed Creative Cloud Service (Photography Package). After that, I installed Adobe LR and PS. LR works fine. However, Adobe PS CC is still telling me that my trial is ending soon. I am try so many ways to solve the problem but unfortunately I cannot.

Anyone facing this problem? I am using OS X 10.9 by the way.

Correct answer Arnaud_Mélon

Same boat as you. This is some serious bullshit. They should credit our accounts since we dont have full access to the software.


Hello Tapinapahkina and Jc84909,

Thank you for contacting Adobe Systems.

I have verified both of your accounts and everything is alright in our end.

If you have any trouble to launch your Adobe product and has been revert to trial and/or prompt for a serial number, please try the steps below:

1. Sign Out and Sign In back following the steps:

Sign out, Sign in | Creative Cloud Desktop app

2. Delete the OPM.db file:  

  1. Close the Creative Cloud application.
  2. Navigate to the OOBE folder.
    Windows: [System drive]:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
    Mac OS: /Users/[user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE

  3. Delete the opm.db file.
  4. Launch Creative Cloud.

i have the SAAAAMMMMMEEE problem. I try to license my software and it and it says no subscription found - which i know i do have because I signed up with my credit card already. drove me crazy, so i signed up with my credit card again only to be told I couldn't purchase because "my account has already has bought this product".  I KNOWWWW!! So let me use it!!!!!! I'm losing valuable time I need photoshop to be able to complete my tasks in my employment.

I had the exact same issue after purchasing Premiere Pro CC. I then signed out and back in a couple of times and eventually Creative Cloud resolved the issue. I think it just takes some time for the account to recognise that you have made a subscription
