Apple News Plus subscription not recognized on MacBook Pro

It works fine on my iPad and iPhone, but my News+ subscription is not being recognized on my MacBook Pro (running Catalina Mac OS 1015.6).

I have already tried unchecking and rechecking the News selection in System Preferences/iCloud (as one thread suggested). It made no difference.

Apple News+ Not Recognizing Me on MacBook Pro Hello Everyone, I am an Apple One subscriber and have no issues with either my iPhone or my iPad. Yet every time I try to open Apple News+ on my MacBook Pro, it fails to recognize me. Instead, it asks if I'd like to take a free trial. I have tried every trick in the book to make this work. I have signed out and back in, restarted in between even. I am at the end of my rope with this. Any suggestions out there? Thanks, John

We would recommend signing out of your Apple ID Account by going to: App Store > Store > Sign Out, then restart your Mac, and sign back in.

Hope this helps!
