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?

Hi @Wah Shell,

We appreciate you reaching out.

Upon reviewing your account details, I could not locate any active/trial subscription associated with this email address.

Are you raising concern for the same account or a different one? Let us know.

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.
