I own 3 machines. Adobe keeps asking me to upgrade plans or reset my password.

Currently have 3 machines in my basement. My main one. One with old parts I basically use just for rendering. And my laptop I use on the road. Adobe is constantly asking me to update to a new subscription and forces me to change my password whenever I log on. What gives? I'm running out of passwords and it's slowing me down.

It should be noted when I use Davinci Resolve (more and more these days) I have none of these issues.

you can install the cc desktop app from here https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud on as many computers as you own and use it to install all (or some, if you want) of your cc subscription programs. the only (insignificant for internet connected computers) limitation is that you can sign-in (and therefore start your adobe programs) on, at most, two computers at any one time.  

 

because you can sign out from either (or both) signed-in computers using a 3rd computer, this could not (imo) be easier.

Try updating the CC app.
