What should I do if my iPad or iPhone plan does not take effect?

If the plan purchased from the App Store does not show/take effect in the iPad or iPhone version of Clip Studio Paint, please restore purchases to apply the plan.

If the problem persists

If [Restore Purchases] does not improve the issue, please also check the following.


Apple ID

For the iPad and iPhone versions, when you launch the app and sign up for a monthly usage plan from the App Store, your plan will be tied to your Apple ID.

Please make sure that the Apple ID that installed Clip Studio Paint is the same as the one you used to apply for a monthly usage plan.



Time on the iPad/iPhone

If the time set on the iPad/iPhone does not match the actual time, [Restore Purchases] may not be performed correctly.

If the current time is off by a fair amount, reset the time and perform the [Restore Purchases] procedure again.
