how do I unlicense something that I purchased accidentally?

I'm just now figuring out this adobe stock and there are buttons all over to license stuff, and I can't see any prices anywhere.  I apparently have x photos that I can license as part of my subscription, but as I was traversing the site trying to see what stuff costs I ended up accidentally licensing a photo twice.  It really needs more feedback on what I am about to do.  So, how do I un-license the extra copy of a photo?

Thanks!

Hi K.,

Apologies, I only now saw your post. I don't see a record of you contacting customer care under the Adobe ID you are using here on the forums. I'm sorry you had a poor experience if you decide to renew your Adobe Stock subscription by the 19th, thirty days from when you closed your most recent subscription, I can assist you with receiving a replacent for the accidental licenses.

I accidentally licensed an image somehow while scrolling on a tablet. How do I reverse it? The incorrect image is #40349619.

Hi jeholden

We're not able to reverse this but I've added a license credit to your account to replace the image licensed by mistake.

Hi,

Same thing here, accidentally purchased 102383870

I can not find any way to undo this, can you do it?

Thansk,

Marc

PD: Where can we ask for this feature? Its too easy to spend credits by mistake.

Hi Marc,

Every time I see a request for this I pass it on to our product managers. I've granted you a credit for the image; you'll see the credit next time you sign into Adobe Stock.

Hi Marc,

I accidentally licensed a picture that I didn't want  FILE #: 71626667. I've been reading thru this thread and I was wondering if there is a change down the line to fix this issue of accidental licensing because it just seems too easy to do and to difficult to undo.

Hi,

same issue here. I just wanted to preview the image (ID: #44671806) but both button are so close to each other and without additional confirmation this kind of mistakes can be made very quickly.

Can you please unlicense image ID mentioned above? I already delete image from my CC library account.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Beverly,

Can you please unlicense for FILE #: 35706438.

I licensed this image by mistake.

Also, I suggest that Adobe Stock Images add a second step on licensing, where the customer has to click "OK" after clicking to license an image, since sometimes I try to enlarge an image and it licenses it by mistake or I'm trying to save the image to my library as a potential image, but it gets licensed when I don't want to use it.  

Thank you so much for your help.

Best wishes,

Hi

I too have licensed an image I did not need, 115204891.

From a UI point of view, it was far too easy to mis-click and license the wrong image. I would recommend having a two-factor "are you sure?" type response before licensing, particularly when clicked from the image hover overlay in grid view.

Could I be credited for this image please?

Hi A G,

You've been credited for the accidental license. Next time you sign in you'll see the credit in your counter at the top of the Adobe Stock website.

Hi

I've just licensed #93365532 by mistake.  Please can you undo or add a credit to my account.

Looking at this thread it looks like it's a common mistake, and very easy to do.  Is there likely to be a fixed for this anytime soon?

Thanks

Hi Esther

A credit has been added to your account.

There are options to 'License' or 'Save Preview' so would be interested to hear what steps you took that caused the image to be licensed by mistake.

Thanks

Hi Beverly,

I'm sorry to trouble you again. I tried to click save preview to save it to my library, but I accidentally clicked the "save and license" icon for FILE #: 35706438.

Can you please issue a credit to my account.

BTW, I would suggest that you guys make a change where the customer has to click "OK" after clicking to license an image, since so many of us click that icon by mistake and wind up with licensed images when we only mean to save them as ideas to our libraries.

Thank you so much for your help

Best wishes,
