You can't, unfortunately. But you can find out the internal name of a machine by running the following command (this is for a Windows machine, if you have a Mac it's different, of course) in a Command Line window:

hostname

It will print out something like this:

DESKTOP-97FGJ34

That name should match the name you see in the Activated Devices page in your Adobe account.

To view your Adobe activated devices, log into your account in a browser. Click on the icon in the upper right of the Adobe windows and select Manage Account. From the Manage Account screen, select Plans and payment at the top menu, then Activated devices.

For Windows, you can also go to Settings>Home

For Mac, you can go to Apple menu>System Settings>General.

The name will be listed there.
