"You've been signed out" error every time I try to sign into Creative Cloud desktop application.

[#1]

I keeping getting a "You've been signed out" message everytime I try to log into the Creative Cloud desktop application.

I have tried the following to no avail:

1. Uninstalling and reinstalling the Creative Cloud app.
2. Renaming the OOBE folder to OOBE-old.
3. Deleting everything in the SLCache.

All of the above were suggested either on these forums or by support. None have worked.

I am on a team membership.

I am currently using Adobe Creative Suite CS5.5.

I am on a Mac running Mavericks (OSX 10.9).

Nothing seems to be working and I have been passed from department to department on the support chat window thing.

Someone, for the love of God, please help.

I have the same problem here with 1 team member. 2 other member have the Adobe CC wotking just fine. I post the answer here if I find any solution soon

[#4]

Thanks very much.

I also used the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to remove all Creative Cloud & CS6 products, then reintalled again. Still not fixed.

[#5]

The solution outlined here also did not work for me: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/unable-login-creative-cloud-248.html

[#6]

This link also did not work as the "opm.db" file does not exist: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/unknown-server-error-launching-cc.html

I was able to find a file called "pim.db", but im not going to just start delelting things and hope for the best.

[#7]

I still can't sign in either. It's not working on either computer that I upgraded to Maverick.

[#8]

Same problem here. Very frustrating! C'mon, Adobe get this fixed.

Your posted solution does not work, as others have pointed out. Re-downloading and re-installing the CC app does not work.

[#9]

this is how I solve the problem.

I uninstalled the CC applications and used the cleaner tool to remove all files. Additionally I removed all cookies from my browser (I have read i other forums that it might have some influence).

http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

So of with a fresh start. All teammembers can work again.

Hope it works for you guys as well.

[#10]

I managed to solve the problem as well.

I used to cleaner tool to remove all Creative Cloud/Creative Suite that I had on my computer and then reinstalled the Creative Cloud. It all worked fine after that.

Im not sure exactly why this has worked, but once I got rid of everything and reinstalled the Creative Cloud, it worked.

It was really a last gasp solution because if it didnt work I would have had nothing.

Hopefully this helps others, but this really is a problem that Adobe need to fix.

[#11 · Accepted solution]

I would like to share with you the solution that worked for me.

This is the step-by-step procedure I followed, guided by Tariq from Adobe's live chat service:

1: Open Activity monitor from spotlight and end all Adobe related processes. You may find processes like AAMupdater, AAMupdater notifier, Adobe Crash demon process.

2: Open a Finder window, select Go>Go to folder option, type in ~/Library and hit enter.

3: Now navigate to Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/.. folder.

4: Delete opm file under OOBE.

5: Rename OOBE to OOBEold.

6: Check if you have AAMupdater in the same location.

7: Please rename it to AAMupdaterold.

8: Click on gear icon on Creative Cloud desktop app and choose Quit Creative Cloud.

9: Then launch it, sign-in and click on Apps tab.

[#12]

That worked perfectly!

Thank you for sharing

[#13]

this worked great for me too. Thanks!

[#14]

This solution worked for me, as well. Many thanks to CM_Marketing for posting it!

This works for windows as well. Thank you...

The only difference is To delete the opm file, you must close the manager first or windows will not allow you to delete that database file.

The opm file on windows 7 is C:\Users\{USER NAME}\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE

I can confirm that both the OOBE and AAMUpdater folders do get recreated.

(This post will be duplicated in my other thread with a link to this one.)

[#16]

This fixed it for now.

Dear Adobe: What a crippling and time consuming pain!
Glad to find a fix though. Thanks so much for posting it!

[#17]

that worked for me! thanks

[#18]

Thank you so much CM_Marketing, that did the trick!

[#19]

Thank you. THe last time I chatted with an agent but I forgot most what he told me. So this was helpful. And you are right: THEY NEED TO FIX IT!

[#20]

Agree! This is like a VIRUS keep bothering me, why do I have to try so many different ways to fix THEIR BUGS??!!

Till now I tried clean IE proxy checkbox - never checked

rename OOBE folder

The problem is still there, what else should I do?? I really have no idea.

[#21]

I dont get "Open a Finder window, select Go>Go to folder option, type in ~/Library and hit enter." Plwase Help Meh

[#22]

I have Windows and the location, at least on windows 10 was: C:\ProgramData\Adobe

[#23]

That might work for me too, if I knew what the hell you were talking about. What's an Activity Monitor? and so on.

[#24]

Had the same issue and here's the fix translated for the windows users:

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

[#25]

Worked for me Thank you "MikeBanks" and "CM_Marketing" for solving this!!

[#26]

Thanks MikeBanks & CM_Marketing, very helpful.  I'll add that (on windows) I had to manually end the "AAMupdater notifier" process before I was able to rename opm.db.

FIngers crossed that this does the trick!  Typekit removes my synced fonts *instantly* when signed out, which has made my life miserable today - what a dumb policy...

[#27]

I'm a bit hesitant to use typekit fonts, for that reason. I had this 'you've been signed out' issue today which made my current files using typekit fonts unusable.

[#28]

Worked for me as a Windows user! Thanks!

[#29]

I deleted the file but it did not solve the problem :c

[#30]

MikeBanks solution above worked for me as well. Thanks!

You do have to have hidden files showing in Windows, which is not the default setting. For information on how to do that, visit http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/show-hidden-files-and-folders-in-windows-vista/.

[#31]

This worked beautiful for me. Thanks Mike!

Worked like a charm. Thanks, MikeBanks!

[#33]

You are a LEGEND! Thanks so much, if you had a PayPal buy me a drink link I would have clicked on it

[#34]

Yes, It works !!

Thanks, you saved my day !

[#35]

Thanks Mike - that fixed it on my Win7 PC

[#36]

Thank you, this worked perfectly.

[#37]

So this is how people work with Adobe? This is the elegant streamlined system for which I'm paying annually? Please get your act together, Adobe engineers. I shouldn't have to be digging around my drive, deleting and/or renaming files in order to simply log in and download the products for which I've already paid an exorbitant amount. Why is this ridiculous error still occurring nearly a year later? Oh, you're right. Keep charging people for the product and worry about the fixes later. Or not at all. I'll jump through hoops to use your product. After all, what choice do I have? Correct. None.

[#38]

...and here we are having the same problem in Dec 2019. What are the alternatives to Adobe's dominance?

[#39]

Thanks that worked on Adobe Creative Cloud 4.3.0 with Windows 10 after an automatic daylight savings change locked me out.

[#40]

Awesome! It worked. Thank you. I've been trying this forever.
