I am getting the error message when I attempt to erase authorization "unable to erase authorization- please try after some time" and this has been happening for a few days.  I called Adobe and the gentleman that I spoke with said that he is unable to fix this issue and that the Adobe employees working on this forum can fix the issue so I am emailing to get this resolved please and thank you.
