Hello,

My free photographer adobe plan was working just fine and was renewed in March. However for some strange reason it has been cancelled 2 days ago and I have only the lightroom working (not lightroom classic ). What is the reason? The plan was supposed to work for a year? I have tried to contact the adobe support chart however all i was told is that i need to purchase the photographer plan.

I'm in the exact same boat - chatted with 4 people on 'chat help' only to be told to contact contributor support email - which bounced back answer is a copy of rules for submission.........Getting very frustrated. All iwant is it reinstated to current valid date - not buy a subscription when i have earned it free.

So it would seem you have been 'upgraded' to this plan, even without asking.

So, sorry, again, you will have to contact Adobe. As contributors ourselves, we can only give advice.

Not that it has helped you much. 😒

The problem is i have been trying to contact and get some help from adobe support team, but it was useless. I have raised 2 tickets, as the first one was closed by statement "pls contact general support" and the second one so far hasnt been answered. Seems like its a.global issue and its a pity contributors are not getting proper support they deserve. I have some client work waiting to be finished, without LrC or PS i cant work. 😞

I have contacted Adobe General Support yesterday and they say:

"you case has been escalated to the backend team. It will take 5-7 business days. Kindly give us few more days. Once the issue is resolve you will receive a follow up email."
5-7 days, Carl!
I also raised two tickets on Adobe Stock Contributor support - no reply....

For others reading this to be clear it's not 10/20 TB - Terabytes - it's 10/20 GB - Gigabytes in the plan!

Big difference between terabytes and gigabytes!

To be clear: As I stated it is a '10 TB lightroom plan' that i have been dumped on, and sounds like others too, for no apparent reason - see screenshot

To be clear: this is a system error at the Adobe level.

Hi,

In the last week the creative cloud app installed photoshop and lightroom updates.

Ever since then it now states that my plan is 'Lightroom plan with 10TB' where as previously it was the bonus program photoshop bundle with lightroom classic. As such, i now cannot access photoshop or lightroom classic. I have the email sent to me when i entered the 12 month redemption code and so i know that it expires in march 2025.

I contacted adobe support who couldn't help and told me to contact contributor support. I've not heard anything back from them (support ticket: 00333332.).

Has anyone else had this issue as i'm a bit perplexed by it?

Thanks!

Yes, I have the same issue. My bonus plan was due to run until Aug 2025. I am waiting for a response from contributor support.

So where should i ask ten?

Sorry, I didn't understand at first that you were referring to your Stock Contributor Bonus "free" plan. It expires 12 months from whenever you applied the bonus code and started the subscription. You shoild have been able to see that expiration date in your Adobe account page. If you believe it has expired too soon, use this Contact Us link on your stock account page to reach out to Contributor Support.

The support chat is not for contributors. You must contact contributor support.

The contributor team told me to contact the general support. I did before and they told me to get in touch with the contributor support. Sounds crazy.
