Here is the message I get when I try tried to authorise ADE with my Adobe account on a different computer.

I receive a message saying :

You can only authorise this computer with an Adobe ID that hasn't been previously used to authorise any other computer or mobile devices. Please try again.

The information provided on the authroisation window says that my Adobe ID can be used to authorise up to six computers or devices.

Please help!
