You guys need to step it up and fix this ridiculous activiation limit nonsense and just do it like Maxon. I am on the Adobe security page logged out of all sessions except my current PC and I am STILL getting an activation warning dialogue when opening After Effects. NO other computer is using CC except the one I'm on getting this stupid warning. Worse yet the dialogue box is sloppy and shows I have about 12 sessions activated for the computer I'm using WHILE ALSO saying "This Device" is "not activated" lmao. 

Why should anyone pay hundreds a year for this low quality coded mess? I highly recommend if you are having this problem to go Google "Adobe Killer" and run that when you need to completely nuke CC out of existence in your services as Adobe doesn't care.

Other solution is to use THIS URL ONLY to deactivate devices, the deactive devices on the security page does NOT work as the client on PC when it pops up ALSO does not work: https://account.adobe.com/activated-devices

BIllion dollar corporation and 4 years ongoing they still can't hire devs competent enough to eliminate and organize a simple licesning page.

no new activation limits have been a part of adobe licensing since the software was sold.

 

the activation process has changed.  and some activations (cs2,cs3,cs4) are no longer possible, however.

your message confounded two things. i should have asked for clarification before responding and assuming you meant cs , not cc.
