Hello,

I have previously used lightroom's free 7-day trail and decided today that i wanted to use it again. I signed up for the 20gb Photography plan (which inlcudes both Lightroom and Photoshop) and when i start up Lightroom now it says i need to renew my subscription in order to use it when i've already subscribed to it. I would love to have this solved

Apologies -- it looks like there is a problem on our side updating your subscription status. I have fixed this -- please retry.

I'm paying $9.99/month for a plan and when I open a program it asks me if I want to subscribe. Just happen recently.

I am having the same issue. I just got Lightroom today, so I have a 7 day free trial. But everytime I try to edit in the app it says that I need to renew my subscription. But when I got to the subscription it says it's active.

The only subscription that I see associated with the account id that you've used for this user forum shows a cancelled subscription. Is it possible that you have accidentally subscribed with a different ID than you are using for login?

I canceled the subscription because I didn't want to get charged considering it wasn't working. I will try subscribing again tomorrow.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. We're sorry for the trouble with Lightroom. I'd love to help you figure this out.

Have you tried signing out of the Creative Cloud app and signing in again? Try these steps.

In the Creative Cloud app, press & hold CTRL + ALT + T (Win) to launch Creative Cloud Troubleshooter & select 'Close Creative Cloud and related processes' > click on Go.
Windows - Press Windows + R to open Run Dialogue > enter %TEMP% > Click on OK > Delete any files or folders with 'NGL' in their names.
Restart the computer
Sign in to Creative Cloud again and let us know if the error persists.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks!
Sameer K

Hi,

Did as instructed but to no avail. I've gone as far as deleting every file related to lightroom and Creative Cloud, restarted the computer and redownloaded CC along with lightroom.

I also noticed that when trying to use lightroom on my phone (iOS) it just says "preparing your subscription". It has stayed like this for the past few hours. I have had no previous issues with apple pay.
