My subscription ended, I need to export some photos because of work, I should be able too, I don't get the option to even open lightroom, i can only buy or uninstall. I read I was going to be able to export my work after subscription ended. I need to, then all my work is lost because I no longer want to pay subscription? I understand not being able to edit but I payed for your software to be able to edit my photos. Now i need to pay to export my photos from your program? what the hell is that? seriously?? and no way to contact because i'm no longer a paying costumer? WTH???/ Those photos are mine and I should be able to export photos from my catalog to JPG. What a cash grab seriously you are not here to make our life easier, now that you guys are a monopoly are effin everyone over? WTH!!?

Moving on.

 

Your copy of Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App is meant to accomplish several purposes, including:

 

  • Authenticating license
  • Installing programs like LrC
  • Updating programs
  • Upgrading programs
  • Uninstalling programs
  • Acrivating programs
  • Deactivating programs

 

That last one occurs if you sign out of the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App. Sounds like you signed out. See if you can still sign in.

I havent signed out, I just had not opened the app in a looong time, but I had paid for it before for a couple of years. And i was able to use it without a subscription before just to export photos and organize.

This just takes me to adobe community, I was looking for a way to contact adobe support but I only get links to articles, no way to contact, which is why I decided to make a post here.
