Hello!

I have a subscription for the "Lightroom 1TB" for almost one year and I mostly use Lightroom Mobile (Android) and web cloud based version. However in the last few days my Android Lightroom app has most of the tools blocked ("greyed", or actually it appears with a blue icon with a star inside), as if I were using a free version. I can use all the tools normally in web cloud version, but the Android app just won't allow me to use the tools, even though I'm logged in the same Adobe account.

My current app version is v10.5.4. Already tried deleting cache and reinstalling the app, but didn't work.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I have the same problem: very annoying.
I have an Adobe Creative Cloud Standard subscribtion but when I install the Lightroom app on my Android tablet, nothing works: all the tools have the blue stars inside and every tool leads me to the "Premium” subscription. Basic edits should be possible!

Hey, @matthijsv80972039. Welcome to the Lightroom community. I reviewed your account for the community and found a recently activated subscription.

Please confirm if you're able to access Lightroom Premium now.

Thanks!

Yes, Adobe forces you to upgrade to Creative Cloud Pro, just to be able to use the Lightroom app on Android. The 'old’ Creative Cloud plan used to have full functionality of the Lightroom Android app, but since Adobe introduced the CC Standard and CC Pro plans, now the CC Standard plan is actually a downgrade (while the price stayed the same). Not happy at all about this: CC Standard should support basic editing in the Adroid app. Just like it used to do.

Hi @intuitive_Enchantment5CF1,

Thanks for confirming those details. If you’re still seeing the “Premium” lock icons even with an active Lightroom 1TB plan, please try the following steps carefully:

First, sign in to Lightroom Web and confirm that all your photos and edits are fully synced.
Once you’ve confirmed everything is safely synced, uninstall the Lightroom app from your Android device.
Restart your phone.
Reinstall Lightroom from the Google Play Store, then sign in again using the same Adobe ID linked to your Lightroom 1TB subscription.

Please let us know if the tools remain locked after reinstalling. We’ll work with the product team to investigate further if needed.

Best,

Anshul Saini

Hey @intuitive_Enchantment5CF1,

When you sign in to your account, are you using the same Adobe ID when you sign in to your Desktop version?

Hey!

Yes, I'm using the same Adobe account (same e-mail and everything). I can still see all the photos I update in desktop, and if I edit them in desktop, the edited version appears in my mobile app and I can download it, but still with most of the tools unabled.

If I select one of those tools, the app shows me the page to subscribe to "Lightroom Premium", even though I already have a Lightroom 1TB subscription.

Thank you.

Sorry, I don't know if I should mention your username for this to work properly, but here it goes: @CMass

Boa tarde.

Eu assino o plano Lightroom com 1TB e geralmente uso apenas o Lightroom app (Android) e também a versão web em nuvem. Contudo o meu app parou de reconhecer a assinatura e as ferramentas estão bloqueadas. Já chequei que estou logado na conta certa. Já reinstalei o aplicativo e ficou igual. Poderiam ajudar, por favor?
