Error Message

Error Messages/Logs

Root Cause

This appears to be the same entitlement-recognition mismatch reported in #46847 (macOS) and likely the same root cause as my earlier report #52955 which has not received a response. OS: Windows 11 (Build 26200.8037) Claude Code version: 2.1.119 Auth method: claude.ai (firstParty) Subscription: Max, billed through iOS App Store Account email matches Apple ID email ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is not set

Code Example

Your organization does not have access to Claude. Please login again or contact your administrator.

Preflight Checklist

  • I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
  • This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
  • I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

Claude Code on Windows does not recognize an active Claude Max subscription billed through iOS. Login succeeds and claude auth status reports subscriptionType: max, but the interactive CLI fails with:

Your organization does not have access to Claude. Please login again or contact your administrator.

claude auth status output (redacted): json{ "loggedIn": true, "authMethod": "claude.ai", "apiProvider": "firstParty", "email": "[redacted]", "orgId": "[redacted]", "orgName": "[redacted]'s Organization", "subscriptionType": "max" }

What Should Happen?

With subscriptionType: max and loggedIn: true, the interactive CLI should grant Claude Code access. Actual CLI rejects access at the org/entitlement layer despite a valid Max subscription. What I have already tried

claude logout then claude login (multiple times) Restore Purchases in iOS app Confirmed Apple ID email matches Claude account email Confirmed ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is unset Verified the Max subscription is active in Apple subscriptions

Error Messages/Logs

Your organization does not have access to Claude. Please login again or contact your administrator.

Steps to Reproduce

Subscribe to Claude Pro via web (claude.ai). Hit usage cap before billing period ends. Subscribe to Max plan via iOS App Store on the same account. Web subscription attempts auto-renewal in parallel and fails. Run claude login on Windows, authenticate via claude.ai. Run claude auth status — confirms subscriptionType: max. Run claude to start an interactive session. CLI returns: "Your organization does not have access to Claude. Please login again or contact your administrator."

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue might be resolved by ensuring consistent subscription recognition across platforms, potentially requiring adjustments to the authentication or entitlement verification process.

Guidance

  • Verify that the subscription status is correctly synced between the iOS App Store and the Claude Code platform, as the subscriptionType: max is recognized in claude auth status but not in the interactive CLI.
  • Check if there are any known issues or limitations with cross-platform subscription recognition, especially when billed through the iOS App Store.
  • Attempt to reproduce the issue with a different subscription plan or billing method to isolate if the problem is specific to the Max plan or iOS billing.
  • Review the authentication flow and entitlement checks in the Claude Code documentation to ensure that all necessary steps are correctly followed.

Notes

The issue seems to be related to an entitlement-recognition mismatch, similar to previously reported issues on macOS. However, without further information on the internal workings of the Claude Code platform and its subscription recognition mechanisms, it's challenging to provide a definitive solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Given the similarity to previous issues and the lack of a clear solution, it might be necessary to explore workarounds such as temporarily switching subscription plans or billing methods to bypass the recognition issue.
