I tried to upload Lightroom onto an old laptop to try and use it for tethering, I signed out of my good laptop.  Now when i try and get back into adobe I am getting the message "you've reached your device activation limit"  asking me to sign out of one of the devices below to continue.  I unistalled the lightroom  app on my old laptop.

Adobe  is signed in to 2 computers and it will not let me back into adobe.

also states you're currently signed in with XXXXX@gmail.com, to sign out and use a different Adobe ID?

I have presets and brushes saved on my photoshop and don't want to lose them.

what do i do?

thanking you in advance.

    @gildam15542003,

    Are you a Creative Cloud subscriber?

    If yes, log-in to your online account and deactivate unwanted devices.  Your license allows you to install on multiple devices but only 2 may be activated at the same time.

    If you're not a Creative Cloud subscriber, you must manually deactivate from the device via your installed software's HELP menu. If you require an activation count reset, contact Adobe support directly and request one.
