I purchased the Lightroom Mobile Premium subscription (in-app purchase) but app says my subscription is expired and I don’t have access to creative cloud storage or selective gradients. When I try to renew subscription app says I’m already subscribed.
I have contacted Adobe via live chat and they said it was an iTunes billing issue as they have not received payment for my subscription but they seemed to not know much about the service as they kept offering that I subscribe to the Lightroom $9.99/month plan for desktop. I then contacted Apple and they assured me that it is an issue on the developers end.
I have been dealing with this issue for several weeks with no resolution. It is very frustrating because it worked perfectly the first month of my subscription but after the auto renewal I began to have these issues. Since then I cancelled my subscription and re-subscribed and the issue still exists. Please help

I'm having the exact same issue with my account, I have bought the signature via Ligthroom mobile, but the premium features were never available.
Then I've canceled the signature and was not able to renew it anymore, since I'm always having an error message saying it's not possible to renew and also that my account is expired.
Can you please check my account?

To both of you. From what I can see it that you should try to re-sign-in with the Adobe-id which you use for this forum. It looks to me that this is the once with the correct subscription applied - Hope this helps, Guido/ Lr Mobile QE

Hi Angus
I just caught your message now. I do see a valid subscription to Lightroom Premium for you. Are your issues resolved, or do you still not see your Premium access? Please be sure to sign in using the same email address you used for the forums here. Otherwise, see the advice here:https://helpx.adobe.com/in/lightroom-cc/kb/lightroom-mobile-in-app-purchase-issue.html
If you still need help please reply back, click on my user name to send me a direct message, etc.

I have the same problem. I renewed and tried the renew button but it doesn't work. Already signed out and in using apple ID that connects to Adobe-ID. All good on the Apple Appstore side for payment. Nothing seems to work for me.

Hi Loekelani
I see you have a healthy, working subscription for you based on the email address you used to sign into the Adobe Community forums. Is it working now for you?
Some users make the mistake of subscrbing one email ID, and then accidentally sign in using another email ID--this is easy to do given that we offer multiple login options: Apple, Google, Facebook, Adobe/Email ID... But it sounds like you are aware of which email ID your Lightroom account and subscription are based on.
If you are still blocked, the next thing I would try is to sign out, uninstall the app, re-install, and then sign in again. Does that help?

I am having the exact same issue but my purchase was through Google Play. My subscription through the Play Store was auto renewed, my credit card was charged, and all of the sudden I lost access to the premium features of Lightroom Mobile. When I try to repurchase a subscription through the app (even though I shouldn't have to) I get the same error message about it being a duplicate purchase and there is no option other than to hit a 'retry' button. Please help!!

Hi 'bneuse02'
I'm sorry that you are facing subscription difficulties. These are user/peer support forums, where users and sometimes non-Support employees like me volunteer help when we can. If you ever have any urgent needs as a paying customer we always recommend you contact Adobe Support directly. Support contact options can be found at: https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html
I help out with iOS subscription questions when I can, as iOS is what I know best. I will forward your issue here with people who are more knowledgeable about the LR Android app. In the meantime let me ask a question or two that might help.
I am able to see that you have a subscribed account that seems "past due" on our side. From your previous post, it seems like you did not intentionally cancel your subscription and you have visited the Help page above, but the steps did not help (https://helpx.adobe.com/in/lightroom-cc/kb/lightroom-mobile-in-app-purchase-issue.html). Is it possible the credit card or other payment method for your Google Play account needs to be updated? I can tell you from personal experience, I've had issues like these when I got a new credit card -- my number stayed the same, but my card's expiration date needed to be updated. I'm hoping the solution you need is something simple like this.
EDIT: I see now you sent me a private message with some useful, additional information: "I only have one Adobe account, and my autorenew subscription info with Google Play is active and accurate. My credit card has been charged for the service I have purhased through your app, but the features in the app are not working because it says my subscription is expired. When I have tried to repurchase the features (even though I shouldn't have to) I get an error that says I am trying to make a duplicate purchase that has already been made by a different account.."
The 'duplicate purchase' error displays when you try to subscribe again using another Adobe account while you already have an Adobe account with the same subscription. I urge you to contact Adobe Support based on the contact details shown at found at: https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html.
If you have multiple accounts in play, they may be able to help you consolidate your accounts and unblock your subscription.

Charlie,
Adobe support has been very...well, unsupportive. I am now posting on here trying to get more visability and hopefully some resolution. I have spoken with two supervisors on the phone over the last several days, as well as numerous support agents through chat, who have all assured me I would have gotten a response and resolution by now.
This is really frustrating because while I understand the initial reaction being to point users in the direction of the error being with the purchase platform they originally used, or their credit card info, after reading through this thread it is clearly apparent that time after time the issue does not lie with iTunes or Google Play and is instead with Adobe's inability to process accounts that are set to autorenew through third party services.
My credit card info is current and valid. My Google Play subscription is current and valid. I have a purchase transaction number from Google and a credit card bill that both show a charge for the premium features of Adobe Lightroom being successfully charged. I do not have any other adobe accounts, and I am correctly signed into the same account in both Adobe Lightroom and Google Play when running into this issue. I have contacted Adobe support at least 5 or 6 times since this error has begun, and nobody can find any record of a different account that could be causing any confusion. This makes sense, since the only time I have ever created an Adobe account was about 6 weeks ago so that I could begin using the premium features of Lightroom.
I don't know what else to say. Nobody from Adobe support has been able to do anything to help. All they say is "this will take 24-48 hours to resolve" and it has now been almost 96 hours since first contacting them.

Hi Charlie - I'm also experiencing this issue. I tried walking through other steps in this forum, but nothing seemed to work. I clicked the "restore purchases" feature and just got an endlessly spinning screen. I tried logging out of my apple ID in the itunes & app store and clicking "renew" from the LR app. My credit card was successfully charged yesterday to renew my monthly membership... it says my membership is valid through May 8 now, but all premium features in my account have been lost.
