I had a school account and recently I left that school and they have signed me out of creative cloud but I have my own personal account, and I'm trying to sign back in with that but it won't let me sign in at all. I'll start by opening cc and it's comes up with a loading screen, then goes to "You've been signed out please sign in again to continue using adobe products" I press sign in says loading for 2 seconds then goes back to you've been signed out. I've tried uninstalling it and re installing it doesn't do anything. Anyone had this happen before?

if you had a school or enterprise account you need to remove* that licensing info from your computer in order to sign in with an individual account.

In the upper-left corner, under Keychains, select login.

for anyone planning to uninstall and reinstall, running the cleaner between those two operations is prudent, though this is the last easy step and there are others that should be done first. 



uninstall every cc app including preferences per https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-remove-app.html

then uninstall the cc desktop app, using the correct uninstaller per https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html#sa_src=web-mes...

clean your computer of cc files per http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html

check for, and if available, update your os

repair all ms visual c++ versions that can be repaired

update your ms visual c++, if it can be updated

restart your computer (don't skip this)

reinstall the cc desktop app*



*use the "alternative download links" at the bottom of the page at https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-app-download.html

use the desktop app to install your cc programs/trials

What do you mean with "Go to applications"? Like where? In the OS settings? In the adobe app settings? Online? Because I can't find "applications" in my OS settings

if you're seeing the cc sign in loop:

 

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

 

below are solutions some users reported:

 

if those all fail, change your cc language. eg, try international english - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-trial-mode.html

 

if that fails, change the install location

Nothing worked for me apart from deleting my user info in my credential manager (windows). Just in case anyone runs into the same problems I had.

This worked for me. It was great to not have to uninstall/reinstall all the CC apps. I suggest for everyone to try this method first before going through the painstaking process of uninstall/reinstall all the apps.

Hey so I am having this issue as well. I transitioned from a student to staff at my institution. I was able to use it fine for a while and now randomly it has stopped working and I cannot log in. I am not logged in on other computers and I have uninstalled the CC app and used the CC cleaner tool, done the reset creditials as well. Still cant sign in.
