Hello,

I've downloaded and subscribed via App Store on my iPhone, and when I downloaded the Mac version and put the same email account it says I'm not subscribed

Is the Mac version has a seperate subscription? I through it's one subscription for all devices

lightroom issue.

Correct answer John Waller

Sadly, I don't think there is such a plan from Adobe, as far as I know, although maybe the App store has changed the name somehow. I need the name of the plan as Adobe calls it. Until we get that far, I can't help you.

I also request the FULL COMPLETE ENTIRE name, leaving nothing out, of the software you have downloaded to your Mac. Is it Lightroom, or Lightroom Classic, or something else?

Not from Adobe direct but via the Apple App Store on mobile devices.

You can download the free Lightroom Mobile on iPhone or iPad then unlock Premium features in Lightroom mobile for iOS for a monthly payment to Apple.

None of this translates to desktop-based Cloud plans from Adobe. Conversely, an Adobe Cloud plan means the Apple iOS subscription is not required since it's included in the Adobe plan.

Hi @vinay_2769! Thank you for reaching out, and welcome to the community! Please share more information about the situation, like whether you used a redemption code at the time of the purchase and whether the payment went through from your end. I checked the email ID on your community account, and there was a billing failure. It looks like the transaction didn't go through.

(Please use an @ when you mention my name so I can get notified.)

Thanks!

I experienced the same issue this week. I started a $5/mo subscription via iCloud on my iPad, expecting it to include Lightroom on Mac, but it only includes iPhone and iPad.

The subscription flow should more clearly explain that $5/mo covers mobile devices only and $10/mo covers mobile + desktop. There's also a difference in storage. $5/mo is 100GB and $10/mo is 1TB. In my view, the current design is a dark pattern, misleading users about what service they get with the subscription. Now I need to cancel my subscription on iCloud and restart it with Adobe, all after having paid for this month already 😣

Honestly, with better information about the differences between the $5/mo and $10/mo plans, I would have started with the $10 plan — a better user experience for me and more subscription income for Adobe.

Same here. Signed up for $3/month plan only to find out that is limited to 40gb and no desktop. Adobe needs to clearly explain the plan differences up front. Not cool.

Thank you all, I just purchased the subscription direct from Adobe, downloaded Lightroom CC from Adobe, and now it works.

You realy cannot get this program from the App store, you need to get it from Adobe. Be very careful what plan you buy a subscriotion to.

Lightroom, this is the current name for the Cloud Based App, you run it on yur computer, store everything on the Cloud, Less capable, in my opionin a POS

Photopshop, the full Photoshop

Lightroom Classic, the proper desktop baded Lightroom. this is the Lightroom that started out at v1, then 2,3,4,5, and ended (for perpetual license) at v6. Now a subscription, currently v8.3.1

You have not stated the NAME of the plan you are subscribed to. Please tell us what the NAME of the plan is, it must be on the receipt you got from the App Store.
