Unfortunately, since it costs money to authorise an ebook to an Adobe ID ($0.11per book, IIRC), once an ebook is bought and linked to one ADE installation, any re-download will also be linked to that ADE installation.

This is why it's so vital to register ADE with an Adobe ID instead of just using it with it's default registration info, which is machine-specific.
