Microsoft, Adobe, Pycharm Activation Issues

[TMBS]

Hi

 

Anyone else ready to throw their network out the window this term

 

Since coming back nothing will activate! Office, Adobe, Pycharm... Office just says 'This product is not activated' and when I try the 'Activate over the Internet' it says it cannot reach the server. Pycharm tries to activate but then brings up a proxy error which shows our old proxy settings - not used for 2 years now. I've gone through all our GPOs and they only place I could find them set was in Windows Activation, so I've remove that.

 

I've spoken to our filtering support who have checked the logs and say they seen nothing being blocked. Our network support say the same. I've gone through the Chrome Admin Console and there are not proxy settings there.

 

We run an RM network (server 2016) and have Netsweeper filtering. I'm presuming it's proxy issue blocking them but is there anywhere else I can check to see if they've been stored somewhere?

 

Thanks!
