CC desktop app acting like I don't have a subscription.

My CC desktop app has a messasge at the top of the screen that says "Restart Creative Cloud for Teams subscription" even though I'm a member and administrator of a CC For Teams with an active subscription. 

All the apps work but CC thinks I'm not legit.

Yes it's a small team (six licenses) and they are all the "pro" licenses. It was all working normally until a few days ago. I have no idea what changed. 


if you're the admin, open the support tab on your admin console > start chat or start case or request expert session.

if you're not the admin, contact the admin and have them contact adobe supply.

if the above fails, start here - https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/kb/stop-creative-cloud-trial-mode-after-purchase.html

 

if that fails, proceed to these steps - https://helpx.adobe.com/enterprise/kb/resolve-trial-and-license-expired-errors.html

 

if that fails, https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/adobe-license-issues-keychain-credential-mgr.html

 

if those all fail, change your cc language.  eg, try international english

 

if that fails, change the install location

I tried all of the above suggestions (except changing the language or install location) and none of them worked.

I guess I'll try to change the install location next but not until tomorrow. I'll post here if that works.
