Alberti Posted October 20, 2024 Share #1 Posted October 20, 2024 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, today Adobe updated my Lightroom and the Catalogue. [Nice they do that service of managing the software.] But . . they also took the opportunity to tell me I 9now???0 have to pay a yealy €9.90 fee for being a valued member of the Adobe Community. - I do not remember having paid that before. I do have a paid Lr that unfortunately has a bundled Ps that I never use (the crooks I'ld say from a client perspective; the geniusses I'ld say from an investors point of view, we are a captive audience ; Lr has a sort of monopoly position (- those who know Porter know about the barriers to exit that if treated well allow price increases, sorry that is my academic background), and can I just . . . Oh yes where was I before this rant? Anyway, what is that membership stuff? - For sure it is not the Lr/Ps fee. Any clarification helpfull as the website does not bring up anything meaningfull to me. albert Welcome, dear visitor!

Alberti Posted October 20, 2024 Author Share #3 Posted October 20, 2024 ha ha, no it really says €9.99/jr - 'per year' so I'm also afraid they will bill me in 1925 too again once they have the details and when I will have forgotten. While I never heard of this Adobe club fee. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

250swb Posted October 20, 2024 Share #6 Posted October 20, 2024 The Adobe Club seems to be a student initiative of some sort. Do you get Lightroom with a student or teacher discount? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SrMi Posted October 20, 2024 Share #7 Posted October 20, 2024 Advertisement (gone after registration) AFAIK, 9.99/year is a typo, it should be per month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted October 20, 2024 Share #8 Posted October 20, 2024 Can you describe how you updated your service (by phone, by clicked download?), and from what prior version? If you are now on the latest LR version, I don’t know any way to avoid the monthly subscription fee, as that’s the only pricing model AFAIK; only the monthly fee varies by plan.

LocalHero1953 Posted October 20, 2024 Share #9 Posted October 20, 2024 (edited) I've just logged in to my Adobe account and can see no annual extras - just the same monthly payment, next due 16 Nov. Edited October 20, 2024 by LocalHero1953 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you don't believe him when he stated "For sure it is not the Lr/Ps fee." Why not? If I received such a statement I'd be asking Adobe, not the Leica Camera Forum. Perhaps first I'd log into my Adobe account and go to what is called the "Plans and Payment" tab in english and see if that gives me more insight. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocalHero1953 Posted October 20, 2024 Share #12 Posted October 20, 2024 (edited) I suspect cock-up. It looks exactly the same as my Adobe bills except for the "jr" bit, where mine (in English) is "mo". What the OP translates as 'Club', Deepl calls 'membership' - close enough to 'plan' (as in 'payment plan') to be the same IMO. Ask Adobe. Or check your bank/card account and see if they've taken two payments. Edited October 20, 2024 by LocalHero1953 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberti Posted October 21, 2024 Author Share #13 Posted October 21, 2024 I looked at the membership page. It mentions the same date (Nov 7th) for my subscription to end. So I have to pay now a monthly fee, while before I used prepaid vouchers. BUT . . there is no mention of a yearly fee. The request for a yearly pay fee of € 9.99 is from within Lr (adobe log in). So it must be 'true'. The chat: It may be possible because your plan is near renewal status. Anyway the customer care rep helped me out. Indeed, should have read fee/month. And they forgot to say it is a yearly payment (I complain as I've worked in billing/CC for decades). So if anyone gets that prompt, do it. it is a good bargain.!!! (The vouchers that Andreas has from time to time are also great, about same price point). 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
