Question

Lightroom Mobile Premium not working

  • February 7, 2018

I purchased the Lightroom Mobile Premium subscription (in-app purchase) but app says my subscription is expired and I don’t have access to creative cloud storage or selective gradients. When I try to renew subscription app says I’m already subscribed.

I have contacted Adobe via live chat and they said it was an iTunes billing issue as they have not received payment for my subscription but they seemed to not know much about the service as they kept offering that I subscribe to the Lightroom $9.99/month plan for desktop. I then contacted Apple and they assured me that it is an issue on the developers end.

I have been dealing with this issue for several weeks with no resolution. It is very frustrating because it worked perfectly the first month of my subscription but after the auto renewal I began to have these issues. Since then I cancelled my subscription and re-subscribed and the issue still exists. Please help

    Hi, I'm having a similar problem. I renewed my subscription for Lightroom premium on my computer. Everytime I open it it still says I need to renew my subscription although I already paid for everything and also everything works on my phone. I tried signing out, reinstalling it, all that stuff and nothing works. What can I do?

    Hi Nina, I see a healthy, valid Lightroom Mobile Premium subscription for the same email ID I see for you on the forums.  Are you able to see it working now?  If not, are you able to see the subscription and premium features if you sign into the same account at lightroom.adobe.com?

    Charlie, thanks for the quick reply. It still doesn't work on my computer app, but on the phone and on the online version everything works fine. I have quite a big mass of photos to edit for one occasion so it would take a really long time if I try to edit everything on my phone or on the cloud version.

    I've been facing exact the same problem, Adobe tells me to solve with Apple, Apple tells me everything is fine, that I should solve this with Adobe. Ive been in touch with Adobe and you guys do LITERALLY nothing to help. I need it to be fixed since I work with this app!

    Same issue for me.  Restore Purchase = duplicate purchase with different appstore -> thats impossible, same account has been used for years.

     

    I'm a little annoyed, yesterday I was in an area with no signal, lightroom opened and let me take photos.  I got home, it tried to connect and it looks like those photos are lost.  I hope not.  Please help with my account too.

    Dave, that error means you have already subscribed another Lightroom login ID.  The error prevents you from accidentally subscribing more than one account at a time.  I'll send you details to help you access the paid account in a private message.  Standby...

    Hi. I'm having the same problem with my Lightroom Mobile signature and I really need to use it. I already signed the Premium 2 days ago, but I didn't have acess to any resources, it says that "the signature was duplicated" but in your website it says that is working in this e-mail account. I tried everything, even enable and disable. Please help

    EtienneHauber, Calvarez.santullano, Brando95, m_grulich:

    I see valid subscriptions for each of you.  You should be able to enjoy your subscription now.  If not, please reply back for more help.  I will reach out to the server team to understand if there was a temporary system problem that caused the difficulties you reported.  

     

    Matidonoso, I see you have a subscription under a different account, not the account you used to post here.  I will send you a direct message to share details more privately.

      I'm also experiencing this problem, it's very frustrating. I've tried the suggested solutions; logging out of my Apple ID, trying the renewal process. Even redownloading the app. Nothing is working. According to apple, I successfully paid for my subscription, and it's showing as active. 
      but whenever I go and clifk on the premium features, it asks me to renew. It then says ITS UNABLE TO. 

       

      I've now tried the renew button under my profile on the app, where the loading wheel is continuously spinning. I know others have said they have left it spinning over might then found it renewed in the morning. I hope this is the case. 

      It's absolutely ridiculous that this is still an issue after so many years!

      Hi there,

       

      I'm having the same issue. I've tried the earlier mentioned troubleshooting steps. I've tried contacting support, who kept referring to Apple, and Apple, who kept referring to you.

       

      I did an in-app purchase, got stuck in a loading loop. Got the confirmation in my mail that I subscribed. The app gives an error (could not complete the purchase). Renewing doesn't work, restoring in-app purchases tells me I'm not subscribed, Apple ID shows an active subscription.
