Cause

No Internet connection

When a device with the Adobe Acrobat shared device license package loses network connectivity for more than a few minutes, the software becomes inaccessible with an error message reading, "We can't verify your subscription status."

Resolution

Check to ensure that the device has an active Internet connection status.

Upon establishing an active Internet connection for the device, re-launch Acrobat or restart the system to verify that the error message has dissapeared.
