I redeemed an Adobe Photography plan code, but Creative Cloud still asks me to buy a plan. The subscription appears on my account with an expiration date, but I cannot access Photoshop or Lightroom.

    did you check your account, https://account.adobe.com and verify everything is what you expect.

     

    then sign out of the cc desktop app

     

     

    then exit the cc desktop app and reopen it.  sign in with the same adobe id/pass used to confirm your subscription.

    Hi ​@Grivous I am also dealing with the same thing. I got the free trail and after not seeing it for a while I ended up buying a plan. I tried restarting my own pc and laptop to see if that was the issue. I also tried to uninstall the app and download it again. I also logged out and then logged back in and it still failed to appear.

    sign out and then back in to your cc desktop app using the same id you used to confirm your adobe account shows your subscription.
