Need Help Cancelling My After Effects 1-week Free Trial

[elman_9507]

I’m reaching out because I’m struggling to cancel my 1-week free trial for Adobe After Effects. I’ve followed the instructions provided, but I can’t seem to find the option to cancel before the trial period ends and I get charged.

If anyone has successfully managed to cancel their trial or knows a workaround, I would really appreciate your guidance. This has been quite frustrating, and I feel that the cancellation process should be more transparent and straightforward for users.

Thank you in advance for any help or advice you can offer!

make sure you're aware of the cancellation terms by selecting your plan type (at the top of the page here), https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/using/creative-cloud-subscription-terms.html

if you're unable to follow the steps described, you'll need to await help from an adobe employee for the next step.  (if you don't get a reply here from a badged employee within 24 hours, repost.)

and for info on how to cancel your subscription, this page describes the few steps involved, https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/using/cancel-subscription.html

p.s. if you're contacted by anyone (via email or private message), it's much more likely to be a scammer than an adobe representative.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

Hi @elman_9507,

Thanks for reaching out to the community. I can see that your subscription is active since last 20 days. Have you decided to continue with the subscription?

Let us know if you have any questions.

Hi Shivangi,

As I have already mentioned, I do not want to continue my subscription. I have been trying to cancel my 7-day free trial, but for some reason, the cancellation option is not available. Could you please look into this and provide a solution? Also, I would like to confirm whether I will be charged if this issue is not resolved in time.

I would appreciate your prompt assistance.

@elman_9507 

you're 2 weeks past the free trial.  if you have an annual subscription and cancel now, you will be subject to an early cancellation fee as described in the link in my first reply.

I want to cancel my After Effects subscription, but when I go to “Manage My Plans,” it shows me this

you have to fix your payment problem, first. then you'll be able to cancel.  ie, you'll pay first.

[elman_9507]

[kglad]

you'll have to bite the bullet and update your payment information whether you contact support, or not.
