Licence SCAM when upgrading
in 2020 I've upgraded from standard to professional but I just found out they are not cancelling the previous plan, they are charging you for both !
They are not updrading you to professional they only sell another licence but they are keeping the other one. At 60$ a year it's a really nice scam PDF Architect is pulling on customers !

Hi Joel,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. When switching plans, it’s important to ensure that the previous subscription is manually canceled. We understand how that could lead to frustration, so we want to make it right. Our team can review the situation and help sort this out. Please confirm your contact details and we'll follow up to take a closer look.
Very helpful staff.
