Adobe Online Store Doesn't Work

I don't know if this is the right forum to post this, but I didn't know where else to put it.  Several days ago I tried to purchase Premiere Pro and the store won't let me.  Each time I add it to my cart then go to check out, it replaces PPro with an Adobe product I already purchased several months ago.  I tried adding other Adobe products instead and it does the same thing.  I can't delete the already purchased product with anything else.

I reported it in a chat with two Adobe representatives from customer service and sales.  The latter was clueless and kept trying to sell me another product when I was trying to purchase an upgrade then asked me what I was going to use the program for.

Does anyone know if the store is going to be fixed soon?  I can't find a link anywhere on this website to report it other than to the worthless chat room or call.  I understand calls have a holding time of about 30 or more minutes.  I haven't seen any complaints about this in the forums so I'm assuming nobody is purchasing anything lately.

I discovered the reason why it didn't work in Firefox was because I let the software import my favorites and passwords.  I uninstalled Firefox then reinstalled without importing favorites and passwords.  After that, I didn't have any problems with the cart or checking out.

By the way, I returned the volume licensed version and I'm just waiting for my refund from Adobe so I can purchased PPro CS6.  For some reason, my IE9 still doesn't work.  I didn't want to deal with volume licensed upgrades since they are separate from the regular store.

I thought about deleting all the cookies myself and perhaps IE will work again if I do.  I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one having problems with IE.  I should probably uninstall it and go back to IE8.  I think that's what comes with Windows 7.

I had similar issues, when going to purchase the upgrade for PrPro CS 6, from CS 5.5.

I was using Chrome, as my browser, and was told to delete all Adobe cookies. As many of those are useful for other things, at least to me, I just fired up IE 7 (in my case), and suddenly the Adobe Store did just what I needed. As I use it sparingly, there were few, if any, Adobe cookies.

Good luck,

In my particular case, I have IE 7, but only use it for a few things, like the Adobe Online Help Files (Chrome will not run those properly?), so I did not have many Adobe cookies in it - just Chrome.

Good luck, and glad that you got FF running the Adobe Store.

The bug report only has the option to select a product from the drop down list.  I didn't see the store listed.  Should I select the software I'm trying to buy?

I have never filed a bug report, so I can't really say what to select

But, back to your original problem... have you gone to your browser's options and cleared/flushed (whatever the wording) your browser history?

Have you tried using a different web browser?
