same desktop pc with different drives counted as two devices
For some reason some of my PC hard drives are going bad every few months, so I have to remove, swap, or add drives frequently.
Creative cloud doesn't like this apparently. It frequently ask me to de-activate an old device, which is this same PC with different drives configuration. At one point, after de activating an older configuration, it went bonkers and said it could not authorize my PC because it could not connect to adobe servers and that I should check my internet connection. And while I could log into creative cloud desktop, I get prompted to login again and again every few minutes.
Eventually I had to call adobe support and they remote cleaned and fixed the installation. But this takes more than half an hour and it's difficult to hear the support due to bad phone lines.
Looking at https://account.adobe.com/activated-devices, it has two entries of the same desktop with different activation dates.
Is there a way to avoid this kind of trouble in the future?
