When is a cancellation effective?

it will stop immediately.

 

put a reminder on your calendar to cancel within one week of your subscription's end-date.

Thanks for your reply.

Really? It will cancel the subscription period I have already paid for without refund if I cancel early to ensure adobe gets its act together and processes it by the dedline?

But if I cancel my subscription one hour late, adobe will charge me a 50% penalty of an annual subscription to cancel?

This seems exactly like the sleazy behavior of a lowlife gym club evertone knows. Or am I not understanding something here? adobe is a huge software company but they cannot accept advance request to cancel a subscription at the end of a period, effective on the final day that a customer prepaid for?

That is not a software flaw. That is a deliberate and sleazy business decision to grab m oney from customers and make their lives miserable.

I see many complaints from former adobe customers here about adobe continuing to be billed after they cancelled in time. Just like sleazy gym clubs everywhere - except adobe is a multinational billion dollar corporation.

Interesting.

I know you are not adobe staff (nor is anyone here) so cannot meaningfully reply to my points. Again, thanks for your informative reply. How did you knwo the answer, by the way? I could not find the answer to a basic question anywhere on adobe;'s websites.
