I've purchased something in product but I can't find it

This article will help you find items that you have purchased from within the product but can’t find, didn’t download, or didn’t install. From time to time, the process of downloading and installing the items that you have purchased can run into issues. Most of these can be fixed quickly with a few simple steps.

One - check the item in My Library

Two - restore your purchases

Three - find your email confirmation

Four - check the special cases

Before you start - Please ensure that you have received a confirmation email or know what your reference number is after your purchase, this is important to have when troubleshooting this issue. This email could contain important serial numbers and download links. Don’t forget to check your Spam folder and other sections where emails might get filtered into.

1 - Go to the item in “My Library” and click the Install button

My Library is found in the Get More section of the Welcome screen. Click on Get More and you should see My Library on the right side of the screen. My Library will be where all of your in product purchase will be shown.

Click on the item that you are looking for, and make sure you have clicked on the install button. This will trigger your purchase to download and install. Follow the instructions on the items detail page for more information on where the item is installed and where to find it in your product. Some items require a few extra steps to start using it properly.

NOTE - There is no issue reinstalling an item more than once. If the file is already there it will either replace it, update it, or notify you that it’s already in place.

The item I purchased says I have to buy it still - move to step 2

2- Run the restore purchases workflow

Sometimes there is a hiccup in receiving the confirmation from our payment provider when you are purchasing and the confirmation doesn’t get back to the product.

This is usually fixed by going through the restore purchases workflow.

1. From anywhere in your product, click on “Help” and select “Restore Purchases”

5. This will start the process of restoring your purchases. As each item gets restored, you will see a green checkmark appear beside the item name.
6. Please note: In some cases, the download and installation will happen automatically. In other cases, you may need to go to My Library and click the install button for each item. (see section 1 above)
7. Click the Close button. If you need to run this again because not all of the items have been restored, just start again at Step 1 above.
8. Please note: You may have to restart your application to see your purchased items.
