how do I unlicense something that I purchased accidentally?

I'm just now figuring out this adobe stock and there are buttons all over to license stuff, and I can't see any prices anywhere.  I apparently have x photos that I can license as part of my subscription, but as I was traversing the site trying to see what stuff costs I ended up accidentally licensing a photo twice.  It really needs more feedback on what I am about to do.  So, how do I un-license the extra copy of a photo?

Thanks!

Hi K.,

Apologies, I only now saw your post. I don't see a record of you contacting customer care under the Adobe ID you are using here on the forums. I'm sorry you had a poor experience if you decide to renew your Adobe Stock subscription by the 19th, thirty days from when you closed your most recent subscription, I can assist you with receiving a replacent for the accidental licenses.

Hi Marc,

I accidentally licensed a picture that I didn't want  FILE #: 71626667. I've been reading thru this thread and I was wondering if there is a change down the line to fix this issue of accidental licensing because it just seems too easy to do and to difficult to undo.

Hi Kathie,

I've granted you a license credit for the image. You'll see the credit the next time you sign into Adobe Stock.

Hi Beverley,

I just contacted the customer service and got this issue resolved. Thank you for your attention.

May I offer a suggestion?

I think Adobe should change the icon colors for "licensing" and "download preview" to differentiate them. It is so easy to accidentally license a photo when all I want to do is to download a preview. Couple times, I didn't even know that I licensed a photos until I see the photo credit dropped. I really like Adobe stock and especially the preview function, but got so scared of using it lately because I afraid that I would make the same mistake again, and wont have any credit left when I actually needs to license a photo. Because of this, I was actually thinking of switching to other stock photo libraries. Really hope this can improve!

Thank you,

Ali

Hi Sharron

There isn't an option to return an image once it's been licensed.  As a gesture of goodwill I've added 2 credits to your account so you can select other images.

Kind regards

Hi, I messaged you earlier but went out of this forum, because I don't know how else to contact you on here. Anyhow I made at least 2 mistaken purchases when I wanted something very similar. I deleted one thinking it will give back a license but it did not. How do I do this?

If possible, can I also unlicense something that I downloaded when I first

Hi Carminia,

There isn't an ability to unlicense and image. We can only grant credits as a goodwill gesture. I've done this and you'll see the credits the next time you log into Adobe Stock.

Hello,

I've been working on a web site for a client, and although we used dozens of images, there were 8 images they didn't like - and we are not using. I would be grateful if you could credit these, and I will delete the ones I downloaded immediately.

Thank you so much.
