A few weeks ago, I tried installing Adobe Flash Builder over Creative Cloud, using a friend's Creative Cloud license. However, neither of us knew about the 2-device limit on the program until I attempted to run the program. So, I'm trying to use my Adobe ID, which is attached to a free Creative Cloud with trial apps (that I created only two weeks ago), to install and run Flash Builder. However, even after uninstalling and re-installing Flash Builder twice using my Adobe ID, even to the point where the Adobe Download Manager reinstalls and appears to be attached to my Adobe ID, I still get the 2-devices error. When I click "License This Software" and sign in with my Adobe ID (in which case, by the way, my email address is automatically provided), I am forced to enter a serial number, which I do not have and could not find. When I click "Continue" and sign in with my Adobe ID, the program gives the error "Adobe ID Mismatch: The Adobe ID you signed in with does not match the Adobe ID associated with this subscription. Please sign in with the Adobe ID associated with this subscription."
So, how can I dissociate my friend's Adobe ID from my computer? A search of the Registry for my friend's Adobe ID turned up empty handed, and I am currently running a brute-force search on my C: drive for the same name, and am finding nothing. Part of me thinks that Adobe has my computer tracked, and that I need to either contact Adobe to get the program removed or contact my friend to deregister my device. What should I do?
EDIT: As expected, it not only affects Flash Builder, but other Adobe Creative Cloud programs as well.
