Question

Impossible to open Lightroom on an "invite" session on MAC book air

Hello,

I installed yesterday on my MAC book air Lightroom CC (evaluation version). On the administrator session, no issue, program is starting and working well. When I switch to "invite" session, it's impossible to open Lightroomm CC, there is message indicating that Adobe Application Manager is required to run the program.

Could you help me?

Thanks in advance

    I am a Mac user since the MacPlus, but I have never heard about administrator sessions and invite sessions, except invite sessions in Apple Game Center. Lightroom is not a game, so I don’t suppose you are talking about that. Are you perhaps talking about logging in as Guest?

    My take on this is that Lightroom is a single user application which allows two computers to be signed on at any point in time with one active at any point in time. Lightroom is seeing your Administrator user as signed on so you may need to log off for another user to log on.

    Yes, that is indeed what I think. And the 'Guest' user is a special user with limited access, so that could be another problem. It may not be possible at all to run Lightroom CC under that user account.

    Hi ludovicm,

    Well, it looks like there are some limitations in the invite session that's why AAM (Adobe Application Manager) not running. You may try an open the Creative Cloud desktop app first and then, open the Lightroom CC and check if that helps.

    Regards,

    I have no idea what a Mac/OS X Invite session is but clearly you need Administrator rights to run Adobe software.
