Question

Transfer Adobe Font account from employee ID to company ID

Hello,

Let's say a user with a CC license creates a project in Adobe Fonts/Typekit and the organization uses that project for the fonts on their website. Then the user who created the project leaves the organization, and their CC account is removed. What happens to the Adobe Fonts/Typekit project? Will it be deleted and will the fonts no longer work on the website?

Thanks!

Travis

Hi Travis,

If the company is dependent on the Adobe Fonts used for their site, I recommend that the company link the Creative Cloud license to their Adobe account instead of relying on the license of the employee. If it is a client that we are talking of here, the account should be tied to the client's subscription and not with that of the vendor.

Coming to your question, the fonts will be removed from the site and replaced with fallback (default) fonts after the subscription expires.

Let us know if you need more info.

Thanks,

Preran

Hi Preran,

Thanks for the reply! That's the info I was looking for. I'm unfamiliar with how Adobe accounts work. How does one link the CC license to the company Adobe account? Does this company account have a specific user account? For example, does their need to be a generic account like info@company.com for this to work?

Best,

Travis

I am going with the assumption that you are creating a website for a client that has a CC subscription.

When you use Adobe Fonts in a site, you will be using a piece of code that links the fonts to a stylesheet. The code looks like this

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://use.typekit.net/dim1zjz.css">

This stylesheet (in this case dim1zjz.css) is specific to the CC account that was used to generate the code. When you hand over the site to a client, you will have to regenerate the code from the Adobe Fonts site, and update the name of the CSS file at all places where you have used the code.

For more info, see Typekit Help | Add fonts to your website

Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks,

Preran
