Why a free trial

[annodom]

I downloaded Creative Cloud and with it Photoshop, as a student in Australia this year a few months ago, and as a result got the App and Library for free. I was using the App fine for a while. But one day... I wake up to see my Photoshop was on a 7-day free trial! It has been a month or so since then and now my trial is gone, I cant use Photoshop or any creative cloud apps anymore because ever since this happened all of my apps are stuck on a "Validating Software License" loop ever since! I am using a 2016 MacBook Air.

CC is not free for students or anyone. Perhaps your college gave you a limited subscription (they paid for it) and now it finished. Check your account details. If it shows you still have an active subscription we may be able to help you get it going again.

Yep, the plan is still active!

You might also check with your school's IT department to find out if they can help you. If Test Screen Name is right about the limited subscription, they can tell you that.

I think it is something else.

Also Adobe does not sell perpetual licences anymore.

My plan is still active, and it even says so in my profile.
