Switching from an expired student account to a personal plan

So my student plan expired last week, and now i cant get in to any of my installed adobe programs, which is fair enough. Ive paud for an individual plan, which is fine, but i cant log in to any of the services because i cant get past the message telling me ive logged out. I think it's automatically trying to sign into my expired accounts, but there's no option to sign in with my new account. The kicker as well is that i cant uninstall the suite without opening creative cloud, and i cant reinstall it because my laptop knows i already have the app, so im essentially stuck at step 1. has anyone managed to overcome this? any help would be appreciated, particuarly as im paying for something i literally cannot use!!!
