I just learnt that you can not remove an ADE (Adobe Digital Editions) 
registration remotely. You can register or authorize up to 6 devices or 
computers with ADE, and you need the actual machine running to remove an 
authorization. If the computer dies, the authorization holds. The only 
resource is to go to https://www.adobe.com/es/about-adobe/contact.html 
and ask them to reset ALL your authorizations.

So I have to power up again this lapptop, connect it to the external 
display, fire up the Windows side, open up ADE, and press Ctrl + Shift + 
D and follow the dialogue instructions.

[...]

Done, on the next day.

Cheers, Carlos.
