Question

I shall start a free trial or buy PS although I have a subscription.

Hi!

When I try to open PS, I get the message “Start your free Photoshop trial. Start a free trial or buy it now.” for a few days now, even though I've had a subscription for a few years.

Does anyone know, how I can restore my access?

Regards

Scotty

Hi,

Point 1: My sub is active.

Point 2: I logged out and in again.

Point 3: Trying to update the Creative Cloud-Apps. Opened the Creative Cloud-Client. Then it reads, "On the Apps tab under Installed apps, select the “More actions” icon. Then select Check for updates." But there are no tabs. It just says, "Open the Creative Cloud installer to get started".

So, what can I do now?

Hey, @MontgomeryScott. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I've checked your account & you have an active subscription. I'll help you figure this out.

If it is a personal machine, try these steps:

 

1- In the Creative Cloud app, press CTRL + ALT + T (Win) to launch Creative Cloud Troubleshooter & select 'Close Creative Cloud and related processes' > click on Go.

 

2- Windows - Press Windows + R to open the Run Window. Type in %temp% and delete files or folders with 'NGL' in their names.

 

3- Restart the computer. Sign in to Creative Cloud again & check if the issue exists.

 

Let us know if the error persists. Thanks!

Hey Sameer,

since I was not able to solve the problem I cancelled my sub and asked for deletion of my account, which was confirmed by message@adobe.com.

Then I started a new sub under

 hoping to be able to use Ps again.

At first I had problems installing Ps, but last weekend I managed it finally.

When I started Ps today, I was asked to identify myself and I should "enter the code that was just sent to

But in the last two hours I did not receive any code.

What's wrong with Ps? Why is it no longer possible to use it as usual?

Regards

Montgomery
