Trying to load Acrobat onto my new computer, but Adobe does not acknowledge the annual subscription payment I made on American Express on 2025/04/10-- all I am offered is to purchase or upgrade to a new subscription.

    @parishdm I am sorry, but I don’t see any active subscriptions or recent transactions under the account you used to create this public discussion thread.

     

    Please see https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/kb/unknown-charge-on-bill.html for information on how to locate the correct account. Once you are logged in with the correct account, ​@parishdm , you can then access or manage the services you have purchased.

    and if that fails, https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/adobe-license-issues-keychain-credential-mgr.html

     

    additionally, below are solutions some users reported:

     

    if those all fail, change your cc language. eg, try international english

    if that fails, change the install location

    Recheck that you are logged in using the same Adobe ID using which you have purchased the subscription
