First of all, I am aware of the other posts regarding this topic. I hope I have read them all. The most hopeful said something like "We are working on it".
That said, I wanted to describe what is happening to my account in case there is something in my experience that can be helpful.
This is what I am seeing on the notice window (in text).
The mark |cc| is my note. The rest of the text is from the Adobe Window:
==========================================================
This device: (not activated)
|cc| This is the Desktop I am on. I have not changed or logged in weith an alternate Win. Profile in months, so that's not it
==========================================================
CC-Desktop: Last launched 5 months ago
|cc| This is absolutely wrong. The last time I saw this message was 3 days ago. CC-Desktop is the machine I am on currently
==========================================================
CC-LAPTOP: Last launched 2 days ago
|cc| This is likely correct. I am currently using my laptop for music composing, but I have opened Acrobat.
==========================================================
While this is not terrible, it's still annoying and it looks like it has been going on since a recent update. It makes me wonder what else may be wrong.
It's easy enough to switch one device off and turn the other on, but still it is unsettling.
While I am at it, I wanted to bring up that many professional users of Adobe product have often more than 2 devices. With the advent of Pad like devices (like iPad, surface pro, etc.) it is not unusual for a professional like me to use 3 devices at once. If nothing else to keep a program going on one devoice while making changes in another program and maybe using the Pad device as a tablet to draw.
I am not there yet, I may be purchasing a Surface Pro from a friend soon, and having to turn my laptop or desktop on and off depending on where I am doing the work will be annoying.
I think Adobe should think about allowing 3 devices with our subscriptions. Maybe with some restriction like having all 3 being on the same network if used at the same time (to avoid giving a friend a permanent freebie? I am trying to put myself in Adobe shoes) and having the third device "slaved" to an active device. In otehr words, I understand Adobe's fear of piracy, but there must be a way for us to use 3 devices at once in our offices should we have the need to.

Technically, you can install Creative Cloud on many different devices at one time. But you can't use them all at the same time.

I believe Team licenses may be the solution to your second problem - but you'd need to have three different people's team accounts sharing work within a team.
