Question

Call me an old guy but I miss the old Adobe!

I have no idea what Adobe is doing, but their monopoly position over the past few decades has negatively impacted the quality and stability of their programs, account licenses, helpdesk chatbot, helpdesk agents, and PDF handling for printing. As a professional, it's become nearly impossible to work comfortably with these issues.

 

This morning, I chatted with the helpdesk again about a problem. In November, a helpdesk employee and I canceled one license for renewal. I asked six times if it was correct, and each time I was assured it was. From January 1st, I was supposed to have one less license. To my great surprise, I received an invoice today that still included that one license, meaning it wasn't canceled! Instead of offering a solution, the representative suggested a new offer. No, I just want one license to be canceled immediately!

 

What happened to the days when you could get help in your own language? Now, you have to explain your problem six times in a chat and still don't get a proper answer!

I understand that piracy was a significant issue in the past, but with over 30 million users today, I wonder where the service for these paying customers has gone. It used to be possible!

 

If you agree, let's keep this discussion alive! I'd like to ask you, fellow Adobe users, what have you been struggling with for years and never found a solution for?

@Egon GW honestly, I have been with Adobe for over 28 years and counting. From buying Adobe on disks to CD-Roms to CC. And haven't had any issues....knock on wood. 

If you log into your adobe.com account, in the top corner is your avatar, click on the avatar and there is a link that says 'Manage account' and then a new window will open, and on the left side it will read 'Manage Plan'... and you get this screen


Also, you can click Plans and Payments as well

Yes, I already did this in October because they would be renewed on December 24th, in November I contacted the helpdesk to check a few things. As of January 1st there would be 1 license less, confirmed by an employee (who you have to explain everything to 3 times by the way)!
