One Name. One Login ID

> Yes. That was why I added the last line to #6

Look again. There is a box that says: "I would like my email address to be my Adobe ID". I would not be changing the email I would simply be getting rid of the name and making the ID the email that is already associated with the account.

Yes. That was why I added the last line to #6:

>Changing your e-maill address DIS-associates you from your previous Adobe ID

That is exactly what happened to me so i decided to just keep multiple accounts plus a Text doc. saved on my computer containing a list of all the S/Ns of my registered software.

I understand. But I would not be changing the email. It would stay associated. Sigh. I dont know if I want to do it. I have A LOT of registrations and it would take forever to put them all back.

Did you look at the screen shot?

Well try it and see!

I lost the link to all my old registrations when i did it and only got them back when I changed my current e-mail address back to the now obsolete one that I used when I originally registered those applications.

So I just created yet another Adobe ID; and my latest CS4 registrations show-up only in that Account.

Changing your e-maill address DIS-associates you from your previous Adobe ID

Here is a shot of the screen. I would not be changing the email but just ticking off that box. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1B1Y77Oi48oBUbvT3voniQyC502xD0" /></a> <img alt="Picture hosted by Pixentral" src="http://www.pixentral.com/hosted/1B1Y77Oi48oBUbvT3voniQyC502xD0_thumb.jpg" border="0" />

> If you do that, you lose all your listed software registrations!

Huh? I have an account that has ALL of my registrations. It allows for changing the ID (which is a name) to the email associated with the account. It is a matter of ticking it off. It is also the one with the screen name I want to use.

Also, if I don't do it the next time I register something it will create yet another ID.

DON'T push that button!

If you do that, you lose all your listed software registrations!

No just create another new Account using your current e-mail address. Then swap your Screen names around to tie the one you want to the new account.

As for passwords there's nothing to stop you from using the same one for all your Adobe accounts.

> Where it fails is that people have numerous e-Mail addresses including old ones that are no longer in service.

But you can still log in with a discontinued email provided you know the password and simply change the email. Now if you lose the password you are screwed.

I'm thinking about changing the name to the email account. What do you think Ann? Should I push the button?

I believe that that was the reason for tying our Adobe ID to our e-mail Address.

Where it fails is that people have numerous e-Mail addresses including old ones that are no longer in service.
