The Technical Support Chat is way more effective. Go to the Adobe.com site and sign-in with your credentials and find Support and then Contact Us and then the Chat option. When you get connected, just explain you need one of your installed computers released to install your licensed software onto another piece of equipment. They can / will handle. While you wait to be connected to chat in one window, see if you can navigate to your history of purchased software in another window and possibly release that install history yourself.

Now that makes sense. And I bet both ends of the chat are typing English :-).

I once attended an Oracle computer class. One of my class mates was Indian. A little hard to understand at first. But I tell you what, he was a wisbang when it came to computers.

Agree, Chat is the best way. No accent problems!

Yes, and I hate that feature. If a computer crashes, you can't unregister anything. What you can do is unregister all computers. I recently installed Win10 again, and I now have iTunes authorized on four computers, although I don't. At some point, I'll have to un-authorize all computers and start over.

This might help -

Instead of calling, do the online chat option, that's what I did, English is my third language and then talking to someone in India makes it impossible to understand, they do type perfect though so that works.

I've had exactly the same problem with Adobe on 2 occasions. No more.

I had the same problem with Elements 15 installing it into a new computer. Wouldn't accept the serial number. Got nowhere and finally purchased Adobe Elements 2020. Works just great.

You are allowed to ask for someone in USA if language is hard to understand.

I called Dell and talked to a Texan once years ago. Good thing I am from Kentucky so my first language is close enough we could understand each other.

And the last time I called Adobe I got a guy whose English was perfect and nearly accent free. I asked and he had lived in So California with relatives for a few years.

And my call about my Helicon FB got me someone in Eastern Europe.
