I have a subscription license for the Substance suite, but I am unable to acivate the installed software, because the licenses are accessible on creativecloud.adobe.com, and I need to log in with substance3d.com account.

I am using Linux, which is shows as a supported platform on Substance3D.com.

Hi Tobiasz,

Your Adobe Substance subscription is not compatible with Linux. You can ask for a refund and buy a Steam license, which indeed does support Linux, but it won't be linked to your Adobe account/CC Subscription

I've found out that the Susbtance suite is available on Steam, and it officially supports SteamOS (Linux) there.
How can use my Creative Cloud Substance subscription license with it?

Thanks.

Since my subscription license is *only* covering the Substance suite (which demonstrably runs on Linux) it seemed like I should be able to use that subscription on Linux. I hope that Creative Cloud can be brought to Linux, as I find this quite crippling.  I understand that CC is a suite so Adobe would need to make sure all of their software runs on Linux first, though it seems like an arbitrary limitation here, seeing as Substance is available on Steam - seemingly just for this reason.
