Device limit used up on only one device

I've been experiencing this issue for about a year until today I happen to complain when Adobe fill fix the sign in problem that I saw many others had asked.

 

The issue is, I only work on one device. For example, say I signed in to Creative Cloud and Photoshop. They've already took up my "2 devices". Then if I open Audition or Prepiere Pro or any app, it asks me to sign out of one of the apps.

That means, I can only use two of Adobe's products at the same time, which apparently should not be the case.

 

Even if it's a fresh install, and I've signed in to Creative Cloud to download Photoshop, after I open Photoshop, it doesn't know I've signed in and asks me to sign in again, and takes up another device.

 

I've been logging out and in for a year, so this solution doesn't work. Neither does signing out of everything. It's such a pain doing it again and again especially when Adobe softwares are not cheap.

 

Best,

Hello there i can see your post and i have some suggetions 

 

  1. Check Account Settings: Sign in to your account for the service or application where you encountered the message. Look for any settings related to device management or authorized devices.

  2. Manage Authorized Devices: Review the list of authorized devices associated with your account. Some services may allow you to view and manage the devices currently connected to your account. Remove any old or unused devices to free up slots for new ones.

  3. Log Out of Other Devices: If you suspect that someone else is using your account on another device, sign out of all sessions or use a "log out of all devices" option, if available. This can help ensure that your account is secure.

  4. Check Subscription Limits: If the service has a device limit based on your subscription plan, consider upgrading your plan to accommodate more devices, if necessary.

  5. Contact Support: If you cannot resolve the issue through the account settings or if you believe there is an error, reach out to the service's customer support for further assistance.

You can do above steps 

 

Thanks and regards
