Received renewal reminder after successful payment

Last updated on Jan 27, 2026

Learn what to do if you received a payment reminder from Adobe even though you've already paid for your membership.

You have multiple Adobe accounts or subscriptions

You might have more than one subscription, and the payment reminder you received is for one of them, while others remain active. Alternatively, you may be signed in with a different Adobe ID than the one associated with your active subscription or payment reminder.

Follow these steps to verify your account and resolve the issue:

Sign in to your Adobe account.

On the Account page, go to the Account information and access section and check if the Primary email (Adobe ID) matches the email address on which you received the payment reminder.

The Primary email (Adobe ID) area, located in the Account information and access section, displays the email address associated with your Adobe account.
You can also view the primary email address in the account overview page.

If the email addresses don’t match the email, select the Account icon and then choose Sign out.

The Account icon, available on the top-right corner of your Adobe account window, provides the option to sign out of your Adobe account.
You’ll be signed out from all Adobe apps and services.

Sign in using the correct email address and go to Plans and payment > Plans.

Review your current subscriptions to check for pending payments. If a Billing issue alert displays for a subscription, your recent payment may have failed.

The Billing issue alert, located at the top-right corner of a plan card, indicates that your payment has failed.
You can resolve the issue by selecting Edit billing and payment and then adding or updating your payment information.

You have the same email associated with multiple profiles

If you have a personal account and a company or school account associated with the same email address, Adobe creates separate profiles to manage each type of plan.

Follow these steps to access the correct profile:

Sign in to your Adobe account.

If prompted, select the appropriate profile from the sign-in screen:

  • Your Personal Account corresponds to your individual plan (such as a Creative Cloud for individuals).
  • Your Company or School Account corresponds to entitlements provided to you by an organization (such as Creative Cloud for teams or Creative Cloud for enterprise).
The Select an account page, which displays after you enter your email address, provides the option to select the account that you want to sign in to.
The Select an account window displays only if your email address is associated with both your personal account and company or school account.

If you are already signed in to your Personal Account, go to Plans and payment > Plans and review your current subscriptions:

  • If a Billing issue alert displays in the Your plan card for a subscription, your recent payment may have failed.
  • If there is no Billing issue alert, select the Account icon in the upper-right corner, and then select Switch profile.
The Account icon, available on the top-right corner of your Adobe account window, provides the option to switch your account profile.
You can switch to your other account linked with the same email address.

Review your current subscriptions to check for pending payments. If a Billing issue alert displays for a subscription, your recent payment may have failed.

The Billing issue alert, located at the top-right corner of a plan card, indicates that your payment has failed.
You can resolve the issue by selecting Edit billing and payment and then adding or updating your payment information

Your credit card details may have changed

If your credit card’s expiration date, billing address, or other details changed recently, your payment may have failed. To resolve the issue, add new payment information or update your existing one.
