Your plan includes unlimited adobe stock downloads - Where are they?

Since my company set up my Adobe CC subscription earlier this year I've had this issue from the very beginning. 

 

From time to time the message "Your plan includes unlimited Adobe Stock downloads" appears in my Creative Cloud dashboard. However, whenever I search for an image and the browser window pops up with the results, every result has a blue button when you hover that says "Free with trial". When I click the download button, the filename has "preview" in the name and there are diagonal watermarks all over the image.

 

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something. I already have a plan that my employer pays for. The app itself is telling me that I have unlimited Adobe Stock downloads. But, I can't download anything.

 

It seems like it is trying to get me to pay for something that my employer is already paying for.

 

I found these related posts, but none had a clear answer to my issue:

I'm having the exact same problem -- I recently upgraded to the Creative Cloud All Apps plan.

A Creative Cloud All Apps plan does not include Adobe stock. You will need at least a Creative Cloud All Apps Pro plan. That plan is only available under a Teams or Enterprise account, and there may be also some additional requirements.

To all: my company subscription also includes Adobe Stock. To access Adobe Stock, I had to first go there from the link in the CC app, in the left column under Resource Links, while I was logged into CC with my company account. Then I was able to download images. Once it figures out who you are, you can also access from a browser bookmark. Hope that's helpful.

Can you sign out and sign in again. Choose your corporate account. Report back if the issue stays.

 

Your plan asministrator should contact Adobe support on this, after having checked that the plan is correctly assigned to you.

Hello, I came here because I am having the same problem. My account page says my plan includes unlimited stock downloads, then when I click the link to go to Adobe Stock, my only option is to purchase each picture. I have ensured I am logged into the correct account several times. From this thread, it doesn't appear there is a fix besides someone from Adobe assissting me, is this correct?
