Valid student subscription, but Creative Cloud tells to buy license

I bought a student licence (for all Creative Cloud products). Now Creative Cloud tells me to buy the licenses for my products, and I can't use Acrobat DC for example! I have uninstalled the programs and reinstalled them. Help?

Now I have an ongoing subscription to Adobe which I can't cancel

Credit where it's due: your school said it wanted full control over accounts and will have ticked a box to say so. But they didn't actually make a plan to offer the support their students need. Or if they did make a plan, the people you contacted don't know about it. I can see how frustrating this is, but it is their job, they took it on, not Adobe's.

1. Check you are logged in with the same Adobe ID that you pay for the subscription.

2. Sign out and sign in.

3. Check your Adobe account details. Does it show an active subscription? (Maybe it shows a problem, like credit card declined).
