- Product
- Adobe
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Setting up a new device and attempting to access previously purchased Adobe premium features.
- Observed behavior
- The premium features remain locked, and the application does not recognize the active subscription, often prompting the user to restore the purchase without success.
Ensure you have the exact email address or Adobe ID that was originally used to purchase the subscription, along with a stable internet connection.
Verify Account and Restore Purchase Manually
Check your active subscriptions online and refresh your app login to restore premium access.
Often, a simple account sync issue prevents the new device from recognizing an active subscription. Verifying your purchase online and logging back in usually resolves this.
Open a web browser and sign in to https://account.adobe.com/ using the email address associated with your purchase. Navigate to the 'Plans and payment' section to verify that your subscription is active.
Open the Adobe application on your new device. Navigate to the account profile settings and completely sign out of the app.
Sign back in using the verified Adobe ID. Look for a 'Restore Purchase' button within the app settings or on the premium feature prompt, and click it to resync your license.
Contact Adobe Customer Care
If the subscription is missing from your account or the in-app restore fails, reach out to support for manual intervention.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Adobe account show no active subscription?
You might be signed in with a different email address or used a social login (like Google or Apple) that created a duplicate free account instead of linking to your purchased Adobe ID.
Can I use the same Adobe subscription on multiple devices?
Yes, Adobe allows you to install apps on multiple devices and sign in on up to two devices simultaneously, though you can only actively use the software on one device at a time.
What should I do if the 'Restore Purchase' button is unresponsive?
Try restarting your device, ensuring you have a stable internet connection, and updating the application to the latest version via your device's app store before attempting to restore again.
