      Getting error code 201 with the message "Creative Cloud update failed"? See how to fix error 201.

    Error code 201: There is a problem with the downloaded file

    Error code 201 indicates that there was an issue with the downloaded file. This error can also occur due to network issues.

    Solution

    Follow the given steps. Go to the next solution only if a preceding one doesn't work.

    1. Verify that you are connected to the Internet: You require an Internet connection to download and update apps. Verify that you are connected to the Internet and select Retry.

    2. Temporarily disable your antivirus software: See your antivirus documentation for information on how to disable antivirus software temporarily. Once you've temporarily disabled your antivirus software, try to install the app again. Remember to enable your antivirus once you are done.

    3. Try a different network: If you have more than one Internet connection, try to use the other one. Then try to install the app again.

    4. Configure your software firewall: Software firewalls restrict access to your computer. Some software firewalls prompt you when a program attempts to access the Internet. Other errors could result due to the firewall’s configuration.

      • If prompted, allow the Creative Cloud desktop app to access the Internet.
      • If you are not prompted, disable software firewalls temporarily to determine whether they are preventing Internet access. See your firewall software documentation for help. Learn the best practices for configuring Windows Defender Firewall. Also, learn how to configure a firewall in macOS.

      Once you've configured the software firewall, try to install your app again.

      Note: If you are in an enterprise environment, contact your IT admin to configure your software firewall.
