Unable to use my InDesign subscription

New Here ,
Oct 21, 2025 Oct 21, 2025

I bought an InDesign subscription yesterday, but I'm unable to use it. The Creative Cloud Desktop shows InDesign as not owned, but when I click buy, I get an error message telling me that I already own InDesign. The plan shows up in my account (account.adobe.com), but not in Creative Cloud.

ONLY IF YOUR ACCOUNT SHOWS A SUBSCRIPTION WITH NO PAYMENT PROBLEMS AND THE PREVIOUS LINK FAILS, proceed to these steps -

and if that fails, https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/adobe-license-issues-keychain-credential-mgr.html

 

additionally, below are solutions some users reported:

 

if those all fail, change your cc language. eg, try international english

if that fails, change the install location
