Question

Subscription is expired, don't know why

I’ve been subscribing to Acrobat for years, at $21/month. It suddenly isn’t allowing me to edit, and says I need to subscribe. When I click subscribe, it says I already own Acrobat Pro. I checked my account and it says my next payment is scheduled for October 1st. So, it’s not allowing me to edit and tells me I need to subscribe, but it also says that I’m a subscriber and I’m scheduled for my next payment. How do I fix this? Many thanks.

    Thank you for posting, ​@fijj.

     

    I apologize for any confusion, and I can confirm that your Acrobat subscription is active.

     

    Based on what you're describing, it appears Acrobat is signed in under a different profile than the one associated with your active license. When this happens, Acrobat can display subscription or purchase prompts even when an active license is present.

     

    Please sign out of Acrobat and sign back in. If you're presented with the profile chooser, select the other profile and then launch Acrobat again.

    Please update this discussion if you have any questions after switching profiles, ​@fijj.

    What version of Acrobat Pro are you using? Are you signed into your Adobe Acrobat application with your Adobe ID?

     

    First, you want to be running on a current enough version of Acrobat Pro to be able to reactivate the program. If you are, then sign out and shut it down. Then open it once again and sign back in. You’d be amazed at the little things will fix.

     

    Note: It’s very important for you to be running on a current version of Acrobat Pro before you do this. If you’re running on an old, obsolete version of Acrobat, this will make things far more difficult.

     

    Hope this is helpful to you,
