Adobe licensing: the gift that keeps on giving

[IDEAStraining]

I have not had to do it in a while*, but when I needed to reset my 
activations, it only took a 5 minute class to tech support. 
It sounds like you got a poorly trained support person. If it ever happens 
again, get their name/ID number and ask for the manager.

*With the Cloud subscription, it is not longer an issue; you can reset them 
yourself.
