    To deauthorize an account you have to put in your original 3M account, at which point if correct, it will deauthorize.

    If for some reason that doesn't work, you can manually delete the activation and reset ADE into an unactivated state. Follow these directions:

    You need to delete out a few registry keys to clear the activation for ADE. You must have administration authority.


    On Windows it can be found here:
    Open Windows Registry by using the command prompt and typing 'regedit' or by opening the start menu and searching for 'regedit'.

    Search for the following folder:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adept\Activation

    The 'Activation' folder can be entirely deleted.

    Restart ADE and it should be deactivated at this point.
