Does annual subscription last only 9 months?

[BinnaBurra5]

Hello Everybody,

It is a serious issue when my annual subscription of Adobe CC has stopped working today, September 1, 2020. I have purchased it on November 27th, 2019.  I was surprised very much when I tried to open my Photoshop today. I saw this information on the screen: "Your subscription expired. BUY NOW"

Wow! Really? 

I didn't buy it again (overlapping subscriptions ?). I have no money to throw out. I am very disappointed.

I don't recommend "annual subscriptions" of Adobe. Be careful. Don't waste your money.

Thank you for the information. It was helpful, although I spent over 16 hours to fix the problem. 

Such problems shouldn't happen with such expensive software. The photographer has to act fast sometimes, because any delay can be a disaster, as it was now in my case. 

Thank you for the quick response.
