# Terminate and return Adobe licenses

This tutorial describes how to cancel your Adobe subscription within the 14-day return window by placing a termination order.&#x20;

Terminating a subscription means canceling it entirely and returning the full quantity of licenses for a refund. Terminating is only possible if the subscription is within the allowed period and is eligible for a return.

For terminations outside the return window, only auto-renewal can be turned off, meaning the respective subscriptions will expire on the renewal date. For more details, see [Disable auto-renewal](/extensions/adobe-vip-marketplace/tutorials-and-videos/disable-adobe-auto-renewal.md).

Make sure that the required subscription is eligible for a return and is currently active.

```
GET https://docs.platform.softwareone.com/extensions/adobe-vip-marketplace/tutorials-and-videos/terminate-adobe-subscription.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
