Paid for PRO but not upgraded

I paid for the Pro license, but despite that, even after 3 days I am still treated as "basic". Yes, I log in with the same account from which I did the purchase. The purchase was acknowledged by Zoom - they even sent me the bill. The most frustrating thing is that I cannot even open a support ticket, because the system has to recognise you as Pro, and I am taken as Basic. Chatbot is a waste of time...I tried sending mail to the billing (to the email I got my bill from), but no-one seems to attend those. What is happening? I need help urgently.

Hello @Sanskritist,

Welcome to the Zoom Community! We're glad to have you here.

To schedule a meeting longer than 40 minutes, please upgrade your account to at least a Pro level.

Upgrading to a paid account means switching from Free to Pro plan or Business plan. This requires purchasing licenses depending on your needs and assigning them to users within your organization.

Zoom offers paid services with monthly or yearly subscriptions. Learn more about Zoom plans and subscription add-ons to find out which plan suits you and your organization’s needs. Once you have decided which plan to purchase, you can proceed with upgrading your Zoom account.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

This thread has caught my eye as it is in the same vain of ZOOM staff not reading closely the tickets and posts, and not addressing the issue in question, instead quoting the script on the upgrade issue in general.  That's not helpful.

 

I have been trying to get a clarification and explanation from ZOOM for months now - including in my recent post on this forum - about the conflicting information on your website as well as conflicting advice being given to customers by your agents.

 

In both my ticket and post I included a screenshot of the explanatory comment on your Pricing and Plans page on your website which states that on the Basic plan the 40 min time limit applies ONLY to group meetings of 3 participants and more.  Some of your agents have confirmed only few days ago that meetings with 2 participants i.e. the host and one guest do NOT have any time limit.

 

For some unexplained reason, Zoom support staff are deaf and blind to my questions about this discrepancy and conflicting advice, choosing to ignore them.

 

I have attached this screenshot here again, for everyone to see.  This explanatory comment has been there for months - and if it is an error, no one at ZOOM has bothered to remove it.

 

If you could please reply to my recent post about this issue (on this Meetings forum) and explain this conflicting and contradictory information and your agents' advice that would be great.

by the way, how did you manage to attach the screenshot? I searched everywhere for that option in the menu toolbar above the message and couldn't see.
