After a rocky start I was finally able to download the desktop client. It was fine at first and allowed me to install CC trials, update trials, sync settings, etc.
I'm still able to sync settings and use my software, but CC doesn't display all the new updates that came out recently. It's been like this for a couple days that I know of, and I was able to download all of those updates on Monday from my work machine which is also running trials off the same account.
