Hi, I just activated a key for one year of creative cloud.
I'm using only photoshop and after effects, which I already pay for every month until august 2021 (anual plan)
I was sure by activating the whole creative cloud plan it would obviously allow me to save money on photoshop and after effects, but no, Adobe wants me to pay twice for each until august.
Althought I cannot use them twice right, it's a software, not a soda can, how can the system allow you to subscribe more than one time to a software ? Seems like a massive flaw.
I need to be able to stop paying more than one time for PS and AE, OR pause my creative cloud subscription until I'm not paying anymore for PS and AE.
Thanks a lot for any help.

Thanks,
I posted here in case someone else had the issue, and as I've already waited the whole day in the chat without an agent connecting.
But will retry tomorrow,
Thansk again.

This is what does happen. If you take out two plans, you pay for two plans. There is no magic to add plans together, to cancel ones you don't need, etc. You NEED to talk to Adobe. When you connect to the chat, be sure to type AGENT. Don't just wait in silence.

Yes but it would be easy enough to add a few lines of code and solve this in the system, like in Steam, purchassing a second time a game is impossible, it's clearly displayed that you own it already, and paiement is not even allowed as that would basically be a donation.
Here adobe just accepts donations, until you contact the support.
Thanks, typing AGENT helped and solved the issue.

I agree, it would be easy enough for Adobe to block purchases that cannot be used. The classic one is people who believe they need to subscribe at the end of their year, even though it will auto renew. Adobe have had many years to do this, it's hard to think of a good reason why they have not done this simple check.

(Though your case would not be covered by this fix, because the second plan had more apps. Probably should reject it and require contact with Adobe to manage an upgrade of the plan)
