Stop the Adobe license warning spam

I'm getting a little annoyed at the warning spam telling me I'm not allowed to share a license. I have 2 seats across 4 computers that serve different purposes and I'm logging in and out of them all the time, but every time I do I get warning spam because the algorithm thinks I might possibly be letting another human fiddle with photoshop (or whatever). It doesn't even do anything, it just forces me to a website that I close without reading because I've been pushed there 100 times.

Here's my idea: keep track of who has received your message to and stop interrupting me when I swap machines. I pay my bills, Adobe is not invited into my workflow beyond that.

I use four computers at work, all of which have Adobe software installed. But we have enterprise licensing and numerous purchased licenses.

Hard to simulate if one does use one license on four computers like you do; maybe you should contact Adobe Customer Care. 

 

May I ask why you need to work on four different computers?

@thedreamfoundry If you don't have two subscriptions Adobe only allows two computers to be logged in at the same time. If you are installed and attempting to log in to more than 2 - you will get a prompt to remote deactivate your additional sign in.

 

If you have two subscriptions - are they under separate email addresses?

If you pay for two copies then it shouldn't be a problem. Stay logged in on all four machines. As long as nobody else is using them then you are good.
