Photoshop: Can not launch "You're reached your device activation limit"
Since yesterday I've been caught in a loop.
I launch the CC Desktop, click on the Lightroom icon and Lightroom launches. Next I launch Photoshop from Lightroom via "Edit photo in Photoshop" and I get this warning.
I do as recommended and check my Active sessions via my Adobe Profile and find out I have three active sessions. So I clear ALL of them except my current session.
I still get the same error. So I logout of CC Desktop and relaunch it. After entering in my Adobe user id I am advised I will be sent a 6 digit verification code via e-mail. I receive the code and enter it in and enter my password.
Launch LR and I am advised I have reached my connection limit. I try launching LR from a my Windows desktop icon, same results as launching from CC Desktop. Photoshop will not launch. Often I will get a certificate revocation error as well.
I then go through the process of clearing my connections via Adobe profile. And the loop continues. This morning alone I gone through the process at least 5 times. I know this as I have 5 separate verification codes via e-mail.
I went through this process last night just as many times.
I stuck. And very annoyed. I need access to Lightroom & Photoshop to process some photos ASAP.
This issue started yesterday. Prior I would only get a certificate revocation warning but Adobe apps launched fine.

Also when I am already logged into CC Desktop and launch LR or PS from my CC Desktop, I am sometimes prompted to login to PS or LR despite the fact I am already logged into CC Desktop?

is this the official Adobe Support Forum? I'm very perplexed WHY someone has not responded?

Sorry, this forum is for requesting features and reproducible bug to the engineering team - and isn't monitored by support. Are you still having issue? I tweaked something on the backend. I'm seeing something something odd with an activation from 2017 not being cleared that not showing up in your view. I can force a reset from my end if you want but you will have to sign in again. Let me know if you want me to try that.
For immediate - help with Adobe IDs and activation issues, contact assisted support here:

Adobe support forums are too confusing and badly organized. A Community Forum and this Adobe Photoshop Family forum. Yet NONE are for technical issues.
I do appreciate your offer.
The issue seems to have resolved itself. And I am able to launch both LR & PS now.
I'll post here if the issue happens again.
IMHO - you simply have TOO many forums. They should all be merged into ONE forum with rooms monitored by Adobe staff and others by hobbyist members.
