I purchased a 6 month subscription through collegebuys.org for $39.99 that is supposed to include all the apps below: 

I used my student email which is the same email attached to the account that I am posting. I logged into creative cloud with my student email but don't have access to all these apps. Here is what my Creative Cloud looks like: 

Here is the email I got from collegebuys.org saying that my order was shipped via email: 

Please help me!! I have an assignment and would like to have access to the applications that I purchased.

 

Thank you!

Spoke with an Adobe agent and they let me know that my school's administrator just needed to change our accounts to a business profile. 

 

I have complete access to the Creative Cloud suite now. Thank you!

I have never heard of a time limited 6 month subscription

Cloud Plans https://creative.adobe.com/plans are for 1 year (or monthly if you pay more each month)

The 6 month plan if specific to the Collegebuys.org retail store for college students. you have to creat an account using your school email and you have the option of purchasing a 6 month of 12 month subscription. Also, as of Jan. 2024 they raised the price to $49.99 for 6 months or $89.99 for 12 months. Collegebuys also allows you to purchase mobile 4G hotspot service via TMobile. You can connect upto 10 devices, no contract, no additional fee (you do need to purchase a hotspot device $80), and no data restrictions. Plans are $19 monthly, $119 for 6 months or $236 for 12 months of service which is freaking amazing if you ask me.

check with your plan administrator to see if adobe's blocked by a firewall.

I don't think I have a plan adminstrator?

To clarify, I bought the plan myself as a student with my student email. The plan wasn't administered to me through my college.
