I use LR since the first betha version on Windows and bought the last 6.0 in 2017 with download
I used it since then without any problems with more that 100.000 images on my system.
A few weeks ago I got a new PC and installed LR 6.0 on it. I signed off on the old system.
On the new system I got the warning, that my serial number is being used on the maximum number of computers. It is only installed on my laptop!
I am completely disconnected to all of my images - please help!!!

sign into your account, https://account.adobe.com

click plans > my plans > manage plans

and scroll to the bottom of the page where your activated computers are listed

deactivate them all if you can't tell which is your current and then open lr on your current computer > click help > click activate or sign-in

thanks for your advice, but there is nothing like 'Activated devices'

I see only the regiustered products LR 1.0 from 2007 and LR 6.0 from 2017 with the product keys 😞

On the old system I can sign off but there ist also nothing like deactive ?

I can install the 6.0 on the new system with the correct key, but when I start it I get massage, that the kex is beeing used of the maximun number of computers and I just can quit.

And sometimes I get, the serialnumber could not be verified ?

On the new system I dont get beyond the error massage an no chance to activate. Did I not activate it during installation?

in the chat field, type AGENT
be patient, it can take quite a while to reach a human

request an "activation count reset"

request anything else related to unsupported software and you will probably be directed back to the forums.

thanks!

I got an email from: noreply@mail.community.adobe.com

From: Lori Pierce

it says :

You can Directly send Email to our Adobe Customer Care Team at Email Address:-
Adobelive24X7@outlook.com and they will help you via Email.


Note:-Compose New Email and Copy and Paste the Email ID mentioned Abobe and send Email.

I admit, I did not think and recognize, that it was an Outlook adress, and I sent my problem to that adress 😞

Does Adobe use Outlook???

i'm suspicious. 

 

i wouldn't send anything unless the address ended in adobe.com.  if you sent any security info (like your passward for anything), i would change the security info.

 

and again, why weren't you helped via the chat option?  (ie, you should retry following the steps i suggested.)

That is a scammer. No one from Adobe will contact you through email. Adobe does not provide customer support through email.

 

Do not respond to them. You can report them to Adobe as phishers here: phishing@adobe.com

 

CHAT: Click the following to contact Adobe customer support staff for help: 

https://helpx.adobe.com/contact/support.html

 

If that doesn't work, try https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?rghtup=autoOpen

 

which should automatically open a chat window for you, no matter what.
You must be signed in with your Adobe ID and allow cookies in your web browser for this to work. Disable any ad, pop-up, or script blockers.

This is the link to the US website. If you are not in the US, the site should redirect to the page appropriate to the region associated with your ID.

Click the chat icon at the bottom right of the page to open a chat session.

 

As @kglad said, you need to ask for an "activation count reset". 

Be aware that because of the pandemic, wait times are far longer than usual due to reduced staff and higher demand. Please be patient with the people to whom you speak. Like you, they are feeling a great deal of stress. A little patience and understanding will go a long way to helping you in your particular situation.
