I have never had to contact Adobe to add additional authorizations. I strongly suspect (though have no way to verify) that they do something akin to Amazon and their authorizations for MP3 music devices -- if you don't use a device for a period of time (90 days in the Amazon case) they free up the slot and make it available. This works well for aging out old computers and OS installations. I actively run ADE on 4 computers. But those computers have been rebuilt 6-10 times each in the last 3-4 years. Each time, I've added ADE and activated it. And not once have I been dinged. (Wish I could say the same thing for Apple!!! Or even Audible, though they're easy to deal with.)
