Having a strange issue with signing in, if I don't use an app for a while when I go to load one up, I get the following notification. But one of the devices listed is the device I'm trying to sign in on. This has happened about 8 times now and it's getting pretty annoying.It's the same computer why does it keep failing to recognise it as the same device?

Hi

Without seeing the part you redacted, the only thing I can guess is that maybe it’s the same computer with more than one operating system? For instance, I have a Mac and I run Windows on it using Parallels. Although it’s one computer, it counts as two devices.

Jane,

I had the same for some time and then it disappeared. I only signed the computer out and it worked again. 2 or 3 times in a row. It may be that a Windows update cleaned it out. It was annoying at most, not blocking. And as I said, it disappeared on its own...

I have 2 computers activated and it happened only on my laptop. It could also be in connection with network problems via wifi, as my laptop has a rather slow wifi... The desktop has a fixed line attached.

So I would suggest simply to ignore for now and. OP can also file a bug report.

because you blacked out the most useful part of your screenshot, it's not clear what you're encountering.

that said, you may be able to correct the issue from your account:  https://accounts.adobe.com

It also looks like you are trying to keep Photoshop activated on more than 2 computers at once. You can't without a different license.
