What Happened to Acrobat Desktop Version

I had Adobe Acrobat Pro (Desktop Version, I think) for $20/mo..  Became frustrated with it and signed up for the Acrobat PDF Pack (Web version, I guess) for $130/yr. .  I now absolutely DESPISE the latter as being completely inconvenient to use..  Want to go back to the Pro version I had and cannot find it.  All I am offered is a Pro+ Stock for $44/mo.  

Is there a solution to this, or has Adobe done away with Acrobat Pro plan I had?

The screen to which you have directed me is NOT the screen I encounter when I try to switch to a different version of Acrobat via managing my account (which, by the way, IS THE WAY ADOBE INSISTS I MUST DO IT TO ACCOMPLISH THAT OBJECTIVE)  Don't believe me, go to your apps and try to swich to a different version of an app you own.  It is obvious, to me at least, what Adobe is trying to accomplish by not allowing me to swtich from a cloud based version to a desk top verison,  but I refuse to play that game.

I thought you posted that you canceled the "Pack". That means you would have to sign up anew. Unless I'm misunderstanding what you wrote.

Thanks, but I just cancelled the "Pack" and wasted $$$ because there is no refund.  How anyone gets anything done with the "Pack is beyond me.  The  number of steps to execute a functions are multiple times those of the Desktop version.  And the fact that Adobe does not permit true direct contact is truly unfortunate.
