Covid-19 subscription ended, bought new subscription won't work

[sherice]

So for the past few months, I've been using my school's Creative Cloud subscription (the special one that was created during covid-19 so students could use it at home). It recently ended, so I decided to purchase a new subscription. I purchased the student/educator subscription with the same school email that I was using previously during school. However, the apps still say "7 trial days left," as if I never purchased the subscription at all. How do I fix this?

What you MAY need to do first is remove ALL traces of your previous subscription

Yup! I also rebooted my computer and that seemed to do the trick. Thank you very much!
