Hi John
thanks for the info, if i open help in either Photoshop or Lightroom I can see that under manage my account it shows Sign Out and then in brackets my registered email address, so I am signed in but after about 10 seconds I then get the pop up window "see what's new in Photoshop" (Get similar pop up in Lightroom) with 2 options License this software or continue trial.
When installing the programs i never saw anything about activating the software. if i click continue trial the programs seem to work ok if i click license this software i then get "Sign In Required" with we will sign you in as Adobe ID with my registered email address., if i click sign in it then asks me for a serial number.
Am i being thick, not unusual or is there something wrong. If i look on my CC account i can see that the photography package payment has been made for this month.
If i click the Creative Cloud icon on my desktop, i can see under activity stream when i installed Photoshop, Lightroom and Bridge, if i click apps i can see that Photoshop CC (2014), Lightroom and Bridge are shown as installed and upto date i can't see anything about activate.
I have logged out of my account, restarted and logged back in to my Cloud account but still same issue.
Many thanks for taking time to read and help
