Every time I open lightroom on my Mac book it closes down with this error message 

There’s an issue with your system clock.
To continue using Lightroom on this device your system clock must be within 24 hours of current time. We recommend that you check your system settings, adjust your clock, then relaunch Lightroom. 
 
I have checked my system clock and it is correct and set to the right location.  I have run the check as advised and no issues were dectected.  How do I resolve this problem?
 
Thank you

Hey, @Gail27766196f825. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll need more info to help you figure this out. 

 

Please share more details, such as the version of Lightroom and the operating system, and screenshots of the error. At this point, the information I have is too limited to help you.

 

Thanks!

@Sameer K  Thanks for getting back to me.  The Lightroom app that I am using is the £20 per month pricing plan that includes Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, Photoshop on desktop, web, iPhone and iPad and 1 TB of cloud storage.  The mac book that I am using is  Mac Book Pro, Mac os  sequoia 15.6, Graphics Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536MB.  I have attached the error message.

Thanks for your help.
