How do you like Creative Cloud *today*?

[Mike Cohen]

Are you all saying that when the CC server went down you could not use your local software? I thought CC only had to re-authorize once every 30 days.

[Mike Cohen] “Are you all saying that when the CC server went down you could not use your local software? I thought CC only had to re-authorize once every 30 days.”

If you were completely logged out of the software, you could not re-authorize it to use it. As in our case, we have 10 systems, 5 licenses and we log out / log in as needed on the various machines.

In that case, you could not log in to use the software. Once your system is logged in, it stays logged in until you log out. Regardless of how many times you turn on / off the machine or whether you’re connected to the internet.

So if you were among the unfortunate who were completely logged out of the software, you could not log in for an entire day until Adobe released the Trial workaround.
