Accessing my Adobe account - I forgot my password & can't access my original email address to reset

Hello

I paid, years ago, for the Adobe Creative Suite, to start a new career, but only now I am finally switching careers and need the software. My work so far has been farm labor so $1200 is a lot of money and I need to be able to access what I paid for. My problem is, I deleted my gmail address, and don’t remember my old password, so I can't access my account that way. It was [PII removed by moderator] - I even tried to recreate a gmail account with my old handle but they won’t allow old account names to be used even years after an account has been deleted.

I was told through Adobe help chat that 1) They checked my account and still have record of my purchase and 2) to post my issue here for support via email. There must be some way I can verify my identity to access my account? Driver’s license, etc?

Please help, thank you.
