Hello All,

I have a client that is using CC on Mac but when they attempt to load it they are presented with the following error screen:

adobeCCError.png

I'm not entirely sure that this is actually a firewall issue so any advice on troubleshooting this issue would be hugely appreciated!

Kind Regards,

Hi kglad,

The client says that the only part that did not work was it did not show a "Test Successful" message at the Activation Server part.

Kind Regards,

Hi Ashley,

Have the user's tried connecting to any other network and check?

It will help to identify the root cause.

I found this link helpful. 
Resolve connection errors with Adobe Creative Cloud and Creative Suite applications
After trying EVERYTHING and wasting a whole day the last suggestion in this article was around proxies.

Not really knowing much about this area, I had a go and it worked.

Apple Icon > System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Proxies and I unticked: "Automatic Proxy Configuration" then .  BEWARE: You may want to copy the URL in the "Proxy Configuration File" field before hitting OK then Apply as this will get stripped out and you may need to reapply the proxy settings after activating your Adobe CC.

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Support, I am A*****How can I help you today?

My adobe creative cloud app won't connect to the server and I believe it may be an issue you all can help me with

I've tried adobe and comcast xfinity troubleshooting and nothing has worked so far

Thank you for letting me know.  I truly understand how important this is for you and I know that you need this issue resolved. Let's work together to get the best possible solution so you can get back on track. May I ask, when did you encounter this issue with Adobe Creative cloud?

It's been over the last couple of days I have been trying to fix it. I'm not sure how long this has been an issue but it's fairly new. I know I noticed it the other day because I was trying to save some presets from adobe premiere

I see, have you tried to contact Adobe regarding this issue?

Yes. We have tried every troubleshooting issue possible and we are all stumped. It has something to do with this computer's configuration or the machine itself. My laptop doesn't have an issue connecting to adobe creative cloud.

It's been gruesome man

Thank you for letting me know Jay. I truly understand how important this is for you and I know that you need this issue resolved. Let's work together to get the best possible solution so you can get back on track.

May I ask, is there any recent changes on your computer prior to this issue?

Not that I can think of. The last major change I had was a couple of months ago when I installed a new graphics card.

I see, how about recent Windows update?

No I don't think i have done that

I've been seeing the notifications. How can I check to see if I'm current?

Try to press Windows key + letter "i" on your keyboard then click on Update and Security

Ok im checking

Everything I'm seeing on here says failed to install dating back to august

I see, did you noticed any updates that was successfully installed ?

Everything says failed surprisingly

I see, can you please check the current version and build of your Windows 10, kindly press Windows key + letter R on your keyboard then type in: WINVER

Windows Update troubleshooter worked like a charm for me. Spent a whole day working with Adobe support to try and get it running. They couldn't solve it, stumbled upon this and it was solved within an update and a restart, 15 min tops.
