Every time I plug in or unplug an E-SATA drive, Creative Cloud makes me sign in again.

I chose Creative Cloud because this happens in every Adobe app.

It clearly has some kind of system ID tied to the internal hardware components, and E-SATA is seen by the system as an internal drive, so any change in that seems to force Adobe CC to think I'm using the software on a completely different machine and makes me sign in again, except doing so right then doesn't actually work. I have to actually restart the computer before I will be able to use Adobe products again, then sign in again, and then I have to tell Adobe to remove an "old computer" which is just the same computer from a few days ago. This is really frustrating and surely there's got to be a better way to handle system IDs for this. A change in storage shouldn't trigger this kind of response. CPU, motherboard, RAM, GPU, sure, but beyond that is really not necessary.
