Change to a previously used email address
Let's assume that you want to change your Adobe ID email address from current_email@example.com to previous_email@example.com.
To make this change, first free up the email address previous_email@example.com. That is, ensure that this email address is no longer associated with an Adobe ID. To learn how to do this, proceed as follows:
-
-
Change this email address to another email address you own. For example, you can change it to other_email@example.com. (See detailed instructions.)
You have now freed up the email id previous_email@example.com as it is no longer associated with an Adobe ID. Next, replace current_email@example.com with previous_email@example.com as described in the following steps.
-
Sign in with the email address current_email@example.com.
-
Change the email address to previous_email@example.com.
The email address associated with your Adobe ID account gets changed from current_email@example.com to previous_email@example.com.
