Hi,

I have struggled for awhile now with installing Photoshop, Lightroom and Lightroom Classic. I have the Photography plan.

The 3 softwares worked 1 month. Then one day when I tried to start through the CC desktop app it it said I didn't have them available in my plan. I logged in and checked and I was still registered with the plan. And money has been withdrawn from my bank account. So I tried starting the app as administrator. Didn't work. I then tried to reinstall, using the CC cleaner tool and made sure every file was deleted from my computer. After installing the CC desktop app again it now just says Installation failed when trying to install.

Last Sunday, April 8th, I contacted Adobe chat and after waiting a long time I got a respons. a customer representative tried to help me by remote controlling my PC, but couldn't fix it. He then said that he had to ask for help and that I would be contacted by phone some time during the week, Monday-Friday. I still haven't heard anything.

Please call me or help me fix this in some other way, or refund the last 2 payments I've done, since I have a software that doesn't work.

I use Windows 10 and my case number from chat is ADB-1674633-D4L8.

Thanks.

Regards

Carl Olof
