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.

Hi,

​I'm hoping you might be able to help me too. I've noticed that I have accidently licensed two images. I thought I was saving these images to my library. These have not been downloaded. I'm on the month trial, is there anyway these two images can be moved into the library so i don't lose out on my 10 images allowance.

​Thank you for your time

This happened to me as well. It's too easy to license something. Shouldn't there be an extra step to make sure someone wants to license? I would like a credit for #206752413. I was just trying to enlarge the image.

Hi Brooke,

Sorry for the trouble it has caused to you.

Since you have accidentally licensed 1 Adobe Stock file, I have added 1 image license to your account so that you can use it against a different image.

Hope that helps!

Feel free to update this thread in case of any additional questions.

Sorry for the trouble it has caused to you.

Since you have accidentally licensed 3 Stock files, I have added 3 image licenses to your account so that you can use them against different images.

Hope that helps!

Twarita,

Would it be possible to add an image credit for an accidental click? It's for image #224139002.

Thanks!

I got an image I did not want and by the looks of this forum adobe stock is just a cash grab. you cant unlicense an image unless you google and find this forum. why not instead have a button or something to click that unlicenses the pictures? have the other apps lock the photo so you cant open it? Like no offense but you have to reply then wait a few hours maybe days for a response is just insane.      I licensed this one but it does not work for what I need. So I got another one now this one is taking up an image spot FILE #: 100476146

Hi John,

I checked your account details and I see that you've contacted our support team for the same.

As explained to you by the support staff there is no way that we can remove it from your license history even if we cancel this purchase of yours. The file will remain in your license history forever.

Let me know if I've misunderstood you.

Regards,

Sheena

No ma’am, I understand. I would like to put my voice with others as I would like to have this as a feature to remove from the history. This image was an accident and is appalling to us. We do not want to be associated with this at all. We also have younger people on the team that DO NOT need to see these things (As well as us older ones). They should not even be allowed on Adobe Stock.

If anything, can you remove the picture from the history to keep us and others on the team from seeing it?

Thank you for your help.

Hi there! I've licensed a business card template but the template is super small and blurry and so I'm wondering if there's anyway that I can unlicense the template?

hm, could you please give the item number? If it is a business card template you probably need the correct program to use that.

I was doing some prelimin research on my phone while finishing breakfast and was surprised that when I tap an image I only got options For what seemed like (add to cart, download, or search for similar). How about offering the ability to look at a larger version before someone decides whether to license!? At any rate, while trying to figure out whether or not there was a hidden way to view larger, I must have done whatever you guys have defined as the way to license an image because it now shows as licensed.

How can I reverse this?

I have accidentally licence a photo (FILE #: 177726329), please help to delete this licence.

And it will be great if Stock will prompt a message and ask user to confirm purchasing the photo.
