Issue: Non-English Creative Cloud application launches in trial mode.
You purchased an Adobe Creative Cloud membership and, when you launch a Creative Cloud application in a non-English language, it opens in trial mode. This page provides a solution to this issue.
Solution
The Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app defaults to your operating system's language. You can adjust the language to English by completing the following steps:
-
Note:
If you can't find the Creative Cloud icon on your screen, you may have quit the Creative Cloud desktop app. To relaunch it:
Windows: Type Creative Cloud in Search next to the Windows logo in the lower-left corner of the screen.
Mac: Click the Finder icon in the Dock, and then search for Creative Cloud.app.
-
Click the three vertical dots in the upper-right corner of the app.
-
Click Preferences in the menu.
-
In the Creative Cloud tab, choose the App Language as English (International).
Additional information
This issue occurs if you purchased the English language-only membership, but the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app is set to a different language.
When installed, Adobe Creative Cloud sets the language to the default for the operating system. If your default is German, then Adobe Creative Cloud sets the language for your Creative Cloud applications to German.
