Hello. I'm going to purchase an activation code for the Adobe Photography package.

I'm being emailed a code.

Is there a time limit from when I purchase it until I activate it?

"Since the current plan has one year left"

Don't Purchase anything! Unless you want the 1TB of storage. Stay with your current {Photography Plan 20GB} by changing your subscription payment method to 'Pay Yearly'. If you pay yearly there is no increase in subscription fee.

If you cannot alter your payment method in {account.adobe.com} and you chat with Customer support - do not allow them to subscribe you to the new plan -insist you are only changing the Payment frequency.

it depends. you have to read the fine print, or activate asap and don't risk it.

if you currently have a subscription the time is added to the end of your current subscription.

I have the old Adobe Photography subscription, which has now been replaced by LR+PS+1TB.
I've read that, since these are separate plans, Adobe doesn't bundle them and that they work individually. If I activate the new one, I'll have two plans at once. Since the current plan has one year left, I'm not sure whether to buy the new one and wait to activate it until the current plan ends.

then ask for a refund for that activation code, or ask if it can be used when you anticipate.
