Creative Cloud won't allow me to sign in

I signed into another laptop on my Creative Cloud account during which I signed out my main computer from Creative Cloud which I've done numerous times before. The next day I've gone to sign back into my Creative Cloud account on my main computer and when opening the Creative Cloud app it just says "You've been signed out." When I click sign in, it just reappears with the same message repeatedly and doesn't actually let me try to sign in.

 

To fix this I tried Repairing Creative Cloud via the Uninstaller, used the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, uninstalled and reinstalled Creative Cloud multiple times, restarted the computer, and followed instructions on another forum https://community.adobe.com/t5/account-payment-plan-discussions/sign-in-help/m-p/6071788#M131 to remove some files (Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/opm.db) and LITERALLY NOTHING HAS WORKED. 

 

This is infuriating and such a waste of my time, I work for a Marketing agency and have numerous deadlines and I honestly don't know what to do at this point. It is insane that a product as big and expensive as Adibe has complete breakdown issues like this, please for the love of all things holy someone help!

Hi @ChanelleMetric, kindly connect with your IT Admin and check for the Authentication Settings in the admin console; it should be set to Default - https://helpx.adobe.com/in/enterprise/using/authentication-settings.html

If the issue persists, please collect logs from your machine and raise a support ticket from the admin console.

Are you trying to connect over a corporate LAN?  I ask because some corporate firewalls can create problems for users.

    Hi Nancy, thanks for the suggestion but no not using a LAN, we currently just use Google Drive for file sharing, so I don't believe a firewall would be an issue.

    start at the top here - https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/kb/troubleshoot-creative-cloud-sign-out-sign-in.html

     

    if that fails,

     

    1. go to the bottom section : "Remove Adobe User and Adobe App Certificates" - https://helpx.adobe.com/in/download-install/kb/adobe-license-issues-keychain-credential-mgr.html and follow the steps.  

     

    2. then uninstall the cc desktop app, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html

    Again, same with this fix –

    What does this mean?

     

    If it's a suggestion that it has to something to do with our Adobe account/plan I can log on to my account just fine on another computer, it simply won't work/allow me to sign on to my primary work computer which is a big issues for my workflow.

     

    Can someone from actual Adobe support respond and help resolve this?


    it means you have a teams or enterprise subscription and you should contact your plan administrator.

    Forgot to mention I'm a Mac user with macOS Catalina Version 10.15.7 with an Intel Core i9 processor if that matters at all.
