Network and connectivity troubleshooting

Issue

When you try to download, install, or update a Creative Cloud app, you receive an error message that indicates you have network connectivity or stability issues.

Solution

If you are connected on a self-managed or home network, see the connectivity troubleshooting steps listed in Resolve connection errors.

If you have confirmed that you are not facing a configuration or software error, then you could be facing a quality-of-service issue when downloading large files. Try an alternate Internet connection:

  • Use a wired connection instead of a wireless connection.
  • Use a different Ethernet cable and port.
  • Download using a different Internet service provider.

Issues while activating or reinstalling?

When you try to download, install, or activate a non-subscription app, you receive an error message that indicates that you need to update your browser to sign in.

Solution

If you are connected to a self-managed or home network, learn how to access or reinstall non-subscription Adobe apps.

Firewall configuration

Issue

Users have reported instances where software/hardware firewall settings caused download errors to occur. The most common error associated with this issue is error 205. Other errors could result due to the software/hardware firewall’s configuration.

Solution

If you are on a managed network, check with your network administrator, or see Adobe Creative Cloud Network Endpoints for information on how to configure your firewall to accommodate Creative Cloud downloads and services.
