Question

Do I need to buy two subscriptions to use Lightroom on both iPhone and Mac?

I have a Lightroom subscription on my iPhone and iPad - "Premium Monthly 100GB (Automatic Renewal)" which syncs to the cloud, etc.

 

Can I install Lightroom on my Mac using the same subscription, or do I have to buy another one?

 

Cause I tried to download Lightroom from the App Store on my Mac and Restore Purchase - but it doesn't work. Says "Restore is not available without a purchase" and wants me to start a trial or buy a new subscription.

The Apple app store subscription will be only for premium features on mobile devices which is why it has a lower price. However premium features are automatically included with the desktop version at $9.99 (or local currency price) so it’s a better deal as you get more storage e.g if you sign-up to the 1TB plan for about $5 extra compared with what you will now be paying. But you first need to cancel your subscription at the app store and then purchase a new plan directly from Adobe. You can then use on iPhone, iPad and desktop for a single price.
