Would you believe....a PS5 issue in 2026?

First, I'm reasonably confident I'm in the wrong place, but I can't seem to contact Adobe directly, so...help?

 

I first purchased my copy of Photoshop 5 in 1998. When they moved to the subscription model, I decided not to follow, but PS 5 was all I ever needed, to this day. My most recent computer had a MB malfunction (now replaced) and now tells me I have it installed on more than 2 computers so I can no longer use it (in 2 days).

 

If this is the end, then so be it. I can't deactivate it on a computer that won't boot, and it was also installed on a laptop that I forgot I had to deactivate it on, that I switched to Linux, so that won't happen either. Can anyone give me a way to contact Adobe directly or help in any way? Even pointing me towards the right forum would be good.  Thanks all!

I'm sorry, but you have no other deactivation options, and Adobe support won't be able to help.

You are out of luck at this point.
