    Get a TEAMS plan.  Includes administrative console for managing employee seats as new hires come in and old ones go plus other perks.

    There is nothing illegal in this. However: Individual plans are controlled by the individuals to whom they are assigned. When they leave the company, they will take the plan with them, if they like, and there is nothing you can do to stop them. Worse, you will continue to pay for a plan that is not under your control.

     

    A Teams account lets you assign and retrieve the plans at will. Renewal and invoicing is centralized, and you are in charge of the plans. When someone leaves the company, you just reassign the plan to the new hire. The data can also be reassigned to a different person so that you do not lose in productivity.

     

    If the plans are too expensive for you, consider contacting sales and negotiate. You may get a deal.

    i wont mind if they will leave with the subscription. i will consider it as keving gift to them. but i received an email from one of adobe partners when i asked same thing as follows

    Kindly note that we don’t sell Individual license and it is not applicable for organization.

    You should always buy business licene.

    i could understand what it meant

    the reseller might not sell individual licenses but that just means you should use another (authorized) reseller if you're unable to buy from adobe.

    no, it's not illegal for a business to buy employee's subscriptions.

    You may NOT share an individual plan, each person must have his/her own subscription

     

    A TEAM subscription is owned by the company

    The subscription owner assigns a subscription to each person

    You may buy as many subscriptions as you need... one for each person
