How to return your non-subscription product

Step 1: Check that your product is eligible for return

Any non-subscription product purchased directly from Adobe may be returned within 30 days of receipt. 

The following products are not eligible for return:

  • Any Adobe product purchased from any seller other than Adobe may be returned only to the seller, in accordance with that seller's return policy, if any.
  • Products obtained through an employee purchase program.
  • Not-for-resale (NFR), pirated, OEM bundled, trial, or free-of-charge products.
  • Fonts purchased through Adobe Fonts Marketplace.
  • Products purchased from individuals, resellers, or online auction sites (such as eBay or Amazon Marketplace).
  • Products, or versions of products, that Adobe no longer distributes or supports.

Step 2: Request a return

How did you buy your Adobe product?

Adobe accepts returns within 30 days of receipt. It usually takes 2-3 days after you have placed an order for it to be eligible for return. Before you return a product, you must:

  1. Register the product serial number.
  2. Deactivate the product.
  3. Uninstall the product.

If you purchased directly from Adobe using a bank transfer, you'll have to provide bank details to complete your refund request.
