Question

Adobe Acrobat says my computer is activated, but forces me to deactivate another computer/reactivate

This weird behavior keeps happening on my machine. Windows 11, up to date, latest adobe apps.. I've previously activated this computer (named SIMBA1). If I open a pdf, acrobate gives me this popup:

But as you can see, this computer IS  the computer it says is already activated:

I keep having to deactivate it and then reactivate it to use the app. What gives? Pretty sure I'm just about fed up with Aobe products and am going to give Affinity a shot. Other than this, my latest beef is all the popups and offers and tutorials. Every time that I can remember, when I want to just do some work, Adobe without fail tries to distract me and slow me down. Why would I keep paying to self-sabotage? Fix your software or I quit. I am too interested in living a stress free life to deal with this crap anymore.
