Allow simultaneous active use of Creative Cloud apps on two licensed devices for professional multi-machine workflows

As a Creative Cloud individual plan subscriber, I frequently need to run Adobe applications on two of my own computers at the same time. This is not an account-sharing situation — I am the sole user. The need arises from a real workflow limitation: when rendering or exporting a heavy project on one machine, the device's resources are fully consumed, making it impossible to continue working on other tasks on the same computer.

Creative Cloud is marketed as a professional suite of complementary applications. However, the current licensing model restricts active use to one device at a time, which directly conflicts with how professional workflows operate across multiple machines.

I am not asking for the ability to share my account. I am asking Adobe to reconsider the policy for single users who own multiple devices and need to run complementary tasks concurrently — such as rendering on one machine while editing on another.

This is a genuine productivity need that the current licensing architecture does not address.
