how do i authorize my computer????

[Guest]

I have talked to 3 people (1 kobo and 2 abobe) about this problem only to be told eventually that I need to go through this forum. I keep getting transferred but with no explanation as to why they can not help m. All I am being told is to wait while they retrieve my account details and asking what my issue is. When I tell them I am once again put on hold only to be asked the exact error message, put on hold then told that the next person I talk to is the one who can help me.  I have no idea what to do and am getting extremely frustrated as no one is explaining anything to me. Could someone please help me with why I am not allowed to authorize my computer so that I can use my kobo?

The error message I am getting is that I am unable to use my Adobe ID to authorize more than one computer or mobile device.

I do not remember ever using this program before or authorzing anything.

Help please.
