Why are invited users who've been assigned an Adobe Acrobat Pro license being asked to pay for a license when they go to apps to download it?

I see the user and email address under users and they have Adobe Acrobat Pro license assigned to them but when they log in to Adobe.com and go to Apps and Adobe Acrobat Pro, they are asked to purchase it. They should be able to download it for free because we are paying for the license.

    Hi ​@ThePaisano 

    Thanks for reaching out.

    As checked, I can see that you have an active Teams subscription associated with the Adobe ID (email) used to post this query. Based on your description, it appears that you have assigned Adobe Acrobat Pro licenses to users, but they are being prompted to purchase the product when they attempt to download it from https://adobe.ly/4bsBWzz. Please confirm if this is the issue you need assistance with.

    If users are trying to download the Acrobat application, they can download it using the link provided in the following document:

    Please note that since the license has already been assigned from the Admin Console, users should be able to access and use it. They will need to sign in and select the Work or School account in the profile chooser. When signing in, please ensure they select the Work/School profile so that the assigned plan is recognized.

    If users are experiencing this issue on their machine, please ask them to try signing in using an incognito browser window and visit https://adobe.ly/4sB92nU. When prompted, select the Work/School profile in the profile chooser and check whether the assigned plan is visible.

    If the license appears there but they are still unable to use it on their machine, even after selecting the Work/School profile, they can follow the troubleshooting steps mentioned in the following document:
