Why have I suddenly been locked out of my Adobe apps?

My latest subscription payment should have covered me until 16-SEP-2026, but I've been locked out of the apps and I'm being asked to "Buy now" or “Start free trial”. My account should still be active - why can’t I use it?

    check your account, https://account.adobe.com and verify everything is what you expect.

     

    then, if it is, sign out of the cc desktop app

     

     

    then exit the cc desktop app and reopen it.  sign in with the same adobe id/pass used to confirm your subscription.
