Complete fiasco with Creative Cloud licensing

Hi

 

My apologies for the rant but I am try to gauge who else is affected but the current Adobe CC licensing fiasco. 

 

Adobe have completely dropped the ball for us with our Creative Cloud licensing. This started mid Jan with the maintenance of the Adobe CC license portal where all of our Adobe Creative Cloud users had their licenses removed, this not only stopped all of the team members from working but created significant workload to our support staff.
I placed a called through to the Adobe support team and spoke to a member of the Creative Cloud support team and he indicated he was not aware of the outage and was not able to help. 
 
The Adobe CC portal came back on line within a couple of hours and most users were able to recommence work however large a number of users had to log out and back in to Creative Cloud to allow them to continue working.
We have not received any communication from Adobe on this issue which I would have expected from such a significant issue.
 

The second issue, and by far the one with the most impact was later in Jan where again teams who rely heavily on the Adobe Creative Cloud apps were essentially not able to work. All but their Acrobat licenses were removed.

To date the work around is still in place and again we have received no communication from Adobe on this issue, neither what has caused this nor when it is going to be resolved.

 

I find it very hard to believe with an issue that has such a negative impact on Adobe customers as a minimum we are at least kept informed they are working on this.

Hi I thought I'd post a response to verify this didnt just happen to you. I am in the same boat we were down for almost 24hrs as we needed to reconnect the team with temporary accounts in order to continue business. What I found incredibly dibilitatinig is that there was not a swift enough response to such an urgent matter affecting acutal bottom line effecting issues. As with you I have not received adequet response as to why this happened, what is being done about it and what will be done about this in future. We are trying to connect with a human being on the adobe side to be able to manage this better in future, if we come right I will be sure to feedback to you our success on the matter. good luck.

Find your Adobe Account Manager and ask for this to be escalated, I went right to the top and was very surprised with the actions that come from that and that included pretty quick contact back from our Regional Account Manager. It appears Adobe have learn't nothing about Customer Care, after all we are pay their wages with the high license costs....good luck in getting this sorted.

Hi @boprcsoftware the community forum is mainly a user-to-user forum with sometimes an Adobe employee chiming in.

That being said - have you filed a ticket through your Admin console Support tab about these issues? If so do you have ticket numbers you can post? That way if we can escalate with someone they have references to review.

Apologies if I am not using the forum as expected, I was hoping to find out if this is affecting others, it has been indicated this is a global issue.

To try and get some traction on this I am working through our license reseller who has logged the follow ticket, ADB-27800611-Q7Q9 CRM:00274000018217

The reseller is emailing Adobe support daily but get the same sort of reply, "

We are still working with our backend engineering Team to get the issue fixed with the CC All Apps Licenses & would share an update with 48 hours or sooner.. Sorry for the inconvenience & delay, as its taking longer than expected". Doesn't help our users much with no ETA and no work around.
