Trouble buying license

Hi! I'm a long time user of Adobe, some 30 years.

Resently I'm retired, after having worked with a teacher-license for the past 13 years. This license has now expired, so I contacted Adobe for an offer, which they made. A great offer, however I wasn't able to pay for it, as Adobe only accept creditcards, no regular Bank cards.

Alas, I don't have any creditcards, and no other ways to pay, so Adobe gave me a list of resellers ...again Great!

Joy, resellers do except Bank payment, however are only willing to sell for a minimum of 10 licenses or if I still have a company. I did in the past, but since I'm now retired I no longer have.

The only option available to me now is to buy a license in a consumer store at full price, which doesn't come near the offer Adobe made me.

I'm a big fan of Adobe, until recently I used their product on a daily base, as being retired doesn't mean I'm not working on something. Has someone a solution to my problem?

... And here's a tip for Adobe;

Please, improve your payment system! ...And, Adobe excisting now for 30+ years more and more users will reach the age of retirement. Maybe it's an idea to create, besides Teacher & student licenses, also a special license for retired users. I'm sure that pretty soon their number, and therefor Adobe sales, will grow

Thanks, and hoping someone has a solution to my problem, as I'm getting kind of frustrated here

Frank

Apply for a low-limit credit card for making online transactions.

These days, you can't do much without one.  Sorry.

I don't mean to sound sarcastic, but couldn't you obtain a credit card for just Adobe use?

Here in the USA, it is very easy to get a credit card with a low credit limit.  You don't need much of a credit line if you have an annual plan, paid monthly.

Have you tried using the steps listed in https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/using/update-paypal-details.html to add Paypal to your Adobe account?

My problem is solved!

I didn't take up on Adobe's offer, but bought a license at a store where I could buy using i-deal as a payment method instead Credit cards really isn't an option for me.

Cheers, Frank

It took just a minute, for everything to rum smoothly again.
