I need a honest answer (ethical Q?). Is it OK to ask a relative student to get a subscription then..

Since every account is allwoed to be in 2 computers.

Then is it okay to ask a relative/friend STUDENT who did not intend to take a subscription, well ask him to take a subscription. And then ask that person to share his credentials with you (per 2 computers rule thing)

?

 

The thing, the relative/friend student WAS NOT GOING TO GET ANY subscription, and the second computer using his account will NOT take a subscription if its not shared with that person.

 

So for adobe it's :

- Either they get 20$/ month from the relative/friend. Account shared.

- Either they get 0$, and none of the 2 persons would take a subscription. (I am talking about this specific case)

 

The second user is obviousely not capable of paying for the normal subscription, hence him wanted to ask a relative/friend (student) to take a subscription and ask him to share the credentials with him (2 computers rule)

 

Is that.. okay.. ethically?

I need the APPROVAL, because I am stuggling ethically with this. But I believe many people do that (parent with their son/daughter students I think?)

    no, that's not ok. it's a violation of adobes terms of service and presents a risk for both participants in the scheme.

    Cloud License allows 2 activations at a time http://www.adobe.com/legal/licenses-terms.html
    -you may use on ONE computer at a time, and you may NOT share your subscription

      I got someone at adobe who told me the example of the "parent" who uses their sons/daugher account. (And from my understanding, their children just offered their "status" but its the parent who mainly used the account..)

      be careful.  that's a different situation, not least because adobe does not allow account holders under 13 years of age.
