I received this error "Number of activations exceeded" when entering in my Adobe ID in my Android device.  I have owned several Android phones and tablets and probably have activated on all of them over the years.  How do I reset the activations?  Thank you.

You need to contact customer service to reset your activations. You can't do it yourself.

You can find CS contact info at http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions.html

It is a vicious cycle.  I spoke with two different people by phone (no chat is available that I could find, nor an email address0.  The first person said they could not help after keeping me on the phone 20 minutes.  I called again and after speaking to two people, my "case" was referred to the Diginal Editions department and someone will contact me within 24-48 hours.  No contact so far 30 hrs later.  This seems to be a frequent issue according to these forum comments, but Adobe does not seem very customer sensitive or efficient in resolving these fairly simple issues.
