"This purchase is not supported" - Can't upgrade from Photography plan to Creative Cloud (Monthly)

Hi all,

I'm trying to upgrade from my Photography plan to Creative Cloud, the monthly plan for £75 (I can not commit to an entire year and am happy to pay the 50% surcharge). When I try to make the purchase, I get an error stating that "This purchase is not supported". My payment details are up to date and I have been subscribing to the photography plan since 2014.

Can anyone help me to fix this?

Hi @Fetam_Al-Kandari,

We appreciate you reaching out. On checking your account info, I found that you have certain pending dues on your account. You may not be able to make changes to your account before clearing the pending payment. Are you able to see all the subscriptions you have?

Let us know if you have any questions.

Hi, I'm having the same issue too. where when i clicked "renew" on the Lightroom Desktop App, It says "purschae is not supported" and "you already owned Lightroom 1TB Plan". When then it says Free Trial Minus -1 Day Left.  And today (10 September) is supposed to be the renewal date, but theres no payment notification/ooptions. 

 

I've been going around in circles with no solution in sight. Please help this is troubling my work progress and results for my clients.

Unfortunately, I'm still getting the same error. I even tried signing out and sign back in. It still says "next payment due on Sep 10 2025". If i cancel the free trial , there is a penalty charge. Even though the free trial is supposed to end.

I have a plan that is up to date payment wise (Lightroom plan) just cancelled it to upgrade to the photoshop and Lightroom plan and this month has been paid for but when I go to purchase I get this error message. I need the full access to Lightroom and photoshop, why can't I purchase?

Never had the option for change your plan. But no issue with payment as it literally just processed yesterday.

A quick chat with the chat support solved the issue. Cancelling the photography plan early would've incurred a penalty payment, the error message was just not referencing that in any way. Since I had to pay for it anyway, I decided to let the account run its course and just create a new account for the Creative Cloud plan.

Would have been great if the error message would be a bit more detailed though!

Contact Adobe. The upgrades you can do online are very limited.
