My Adobe ID is not accepted.
There can be many reasons for this. Try to sign in to your Adobe account in the browser. You can also try changing the password.
Adobe will not allow you to have more than one Adobe ID. If you forget your user ID, do not create a new ID with the same personal data. This could cause your ID to be blocked.
Your Adobe ID can be activated with a maximum of 6 apps/devices. If you reach the limit, you will have to deactivate your ID from some of the apps (app settings-> deactivate).
