Issue with Apple Creator Studio

Hi there!


My free trial for Apple Creator Studio had expired, so I went to pay for the subscription. After paying, I try to open Final Cut, but it still asks me to pay for the subscription. I tried to re-download the app, I've tried to click "Already subscribed" - nothing helped.


Has anybody had similar issue?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 26.5

The same thing happened to me and I fixed it by logging out and logging back into my account on the Mac:

  1. Open the App Store on your Mac.
  2. Click on your name in the bottom-left corner (or go to Store > Account in the menu bar).
  3. Click on Sign Out.
  4. Restart your Mac, open the App Store again, and log back in with the same Apple ID used for the purchase. This forces the subscription status to update on the device.
