How to Cancel Adobe Illustrator Purchased from Adobe
- Sign in to your Adobe Account using the link.

Note: If you cancel within 14 days of your initial purchase, you will get a full refund. If you cancel after 14 days, you will be charged a cancellation fee of 50% of the remaining balance of your contract. For example, if you cancel in the ninth month, you will pay 50% of the fee for the three remaining months. This is because you get a significant discount for purchasing a yearly subscription.
What Happens When You Cancel an Adobe Illustrator Subscription
When you cancel your Illustrator subscription purchased from Adobe, you will lose access to the software and most of the services included in your plan at the end of your current billing cycle. However, you can still access your Creative Cloud files on your computer and the Creative Cloud website, subject to a 2GB storage limit.
If you exceed the 2GB limit, you have 30 days to download or delete your files. You can also use free services and features by signing in to your Creative Cloud desktop app with the same Adobe ID and password.
Another thing you should know is that canceling your Illustrator subscription may incur a cancellation fee. You will get a full refund if you cancel within 14 days of your initial purchase. If you cancel after 14 days, you will be charged 50% of the remaining balance of your contract.
If you want to avoid the cancellation fee, you can wait until the end of your annual contract and then cancel your subscription. You can also switch to a different plan or software that suits your needs better. To do so, go to your Adobe account page and click Change Your Plan under the Illustrator plan you want to change.
