"We can't verify your subscription status" in Mac Monterey 12.2

[Juls Al]

Hello,

I have been using my university's email and "Enterprise" licence to access all the apps withing the creative cloud. Hovewer, recently (28/01/2022) I've got the "We can't verify your subscription status" error and tried all other "work arounds" that I came across in this forum. Tried signing-out and signing back it from everywhere, deleting and reinstalling all files from Adobe, deleted accounts from the "Keychain Acess". Nothing helped so far. So, I decided to sign-in to Adobe with my personal email and purchase a new subscription. After I paid and connected my new account to the creative cloud desktop app, adobe and adobe account sites, I downloaded adobe illustrator just to see if I fixed the problem by getting a new Adobe ID and subscription. No.. I didn't.. Please help!

If you have a student edition managed by the University - you need to contact that Administrator for help with your access.

The error you are receiving is normally caused by either no internet connection or security software running that is preventing connection.

Try connecting directly to your router and signing in there.

Thank you for a quick reply. I have been in contact with my university's IT administration and they said that all educational licences have been cancelled for students and suggested me to get a personal one. So I did but it didn't solve this problem. Also, I have tried multiple networks from mobile 4D to university's 300+mb/s wifi and yet again, nothing has changed.

Thank you Anshul Saini for your reply.

I had a look through the articles you've shared and can ensure that by now I have tried all solutions covered. I even got in touch with adobe's support team and a guy was remotely controlling my computer for two hours trying to fix this. After a complete refresh of the system and Illustrator installed via .dmg file rather than the creative cloud, it is still showing me the same error. However, I remain positive and open to any further suggestions. I appreciate your support.

Sincerely

Julius Aleksa

Did you contact your University administrator? It could be an account issue on their end.

As I have mentioned in my initiall post, I stopped using my universitiy's email/account after I visited our IT support on campus and was informed that student licences been cancelled. Now, I have purchased a new subscription plan on a completely different email/account and it is still not working.

P.S. Before setting up a new personal account, I have disconnected my Macbook from "Devices" tab in my university's "Adobe Account".

Hi Juls, sorry for the confusion. Your original post did not give such detail.

Have you tried going to a different location, using a different network connection?

[Juls Al]

Hi Kevin,

Yes I have tried different networks and locations. 

Is there anything else I could try?

Anshul Saini, Thank you so much. Just creating a new user and launching illustrator from there fixed the issue.
