Adobe Subscription Sign-In Nonsense

Question

Since the lastest updates, every single time I want to use Acrobat from a different IP I have to sign-in and delete my same laptop from previous sign-ins.

People working on the go in 2025.. like nobody does this, right? Absolutely shocking, who does this... RIGHT?!?!

What kind of mouth breathing ape came up with this design? This is getting so annoying I am considering moving away from Adobe.

If you hate your customers that much and want to make using your products as annoying as possible, congratulations, you achieved your goal.

Oh and last but not least: if buying isn't owning, piracy isn't theft. No need to sign-in with those products.. 😉

Are you saying that you have to sign in on your laptop where you've always had Acrobat on it? Or sign in with another system at a different IP address? Are you using any cloud services with Acrobat? Or are you using a perpetual license version of Acrobat on your system with no need to connect with cloud services?

As far as your bon mot signoff, I'm an end user much like you. I have no say, and no sway, over Adobe Systems' licensing policies. But I can say that if you try to run most perpetual license versions of Acrobat, you will have to sign in to be able to use the application. And always when you're using Adobe cloud services. Jus' Sayin' ...
