Error 205 when installing Adobe Creative Cloud applications through my University's membership

I have been paying for my subscription for years now and I still cannot install the app on one of my computers cause I get error 205.

I have done everything possible including:

1. disabling antivirus and firewalls

2. deleting all instances of the installer including everywhere on the drives and windows registery

3. using Adobe's own cleaner tool

4. using microsoft forced uninstaller

.....

 

Nothing works.

Sad that Adobe doesn't care enough to fix this issue.  I'm not the only one looking for an offline installer due to issues with CreativeCloud's installer.

And no, my internet is now slow.  I have a 1Gbps connection and my average download speed is 40 MB/s

you have an enterprise/teams subscription.  so, your support is available via the plan's administrator.  contact that person.

Hi Pourya,

 

As mentioned by @kglad, you need to contact the Creative Cloud or IT admin at your college to get this resolved.

that's a licensing error, not a connection error:

I know which one you are talking about. 

that is not my case. Cause there was never a creative cloud on this computer to "log out and then log into". 
or to open any app. 

from day 1, it never allowed me to install creativecloud on this PC. 
it crashed during the first time in the middle of installing and since then, it gives me that error

check if your computer meets cc install specs - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/system-requirements.html


Well, I'd assume a 5950X with a RTX3080, 64G of ram, and 2Tb of nvme free space should be sufficient.

I'll try to post a screenshot of what I see
