Restricted Authorization

You may be prompted to sign in again after a failed attempt when using Adobe software. This might be due to a lack of rights on your computer, a firewall, or access restriction. If you’re using a Windows PC or a Mac, you may set rights for the SLStore folder like you would for the Adobe PCD folder.

Compatibility Mode Issues

To make outdated programs work on modern computers, compatibility modes are created. It’s possible to find such settings in Windows and macOS X, among others. Even if developers have ceased supporting the others, it is conceivable for an individual application creator to install one to make their applications compatible with older systems.

You will be prompted to login the Acrobat sign in every time you run Adobe Acrobat if you haven’t updated the application in a while. This is also the case if you update to the newest version of Windows or macOS but fail to update your applications to the latest versions.
