Is it still 6 authorizations with Adobe?

Haven't been able to find how many authorizations you get nowadays with your Adobe account, anyone know if it's more than 6?

I think it might depend on how quickly six devices get activated, too. I've activated way more than six devices/apps over a period of a few years, and have never received a failure (or max auths reached) message of any kind. I believe available authorizations recycle over longer periods of non-use.

So unless you actually plan on using more than six devices simultaneously (or try to authorize 7+ in a short time), I don't think one has to worry about hitting the authorization max with typical device/app rollover.

Mileage will probably vary, though.

If memory serves me correctly, if you hit the limit, you get an additional authorisation every three months.

That would certainly coincide with my experience.

I had to change a phone, a computer, and a tablet last year, but when I asked on their chat Adobe reset me, no problem .
