Licensing question - simultaneous activation

According to Adobe, I can activate the applications on two computers. But it somehow does not reflect the reality, because I only can activate the whole Adobe Creative Cloud on two computers. I have a Mac, Macbook and Windows machine. I would need to have Photoshop, Lightroom and Lightroom classic on the Mac, Lightroom on the Macbook and Lightroom Classic on Windows for printing (I can not print from Mac because of missing color management in recent Canon AirPrint workflow). But unfortunately it can not be done. Is there any viable solution? Of course I can constantly sign-out and sign-in, but it is not really comfortable.

you need to sign in to your cc desktop app on any computer that you want to use any of your cc desktop apps.  you can only sign into, at most, two computers at any one time.

 

ie, at this time, there is no way to sign into some of your cc apps without signing into them all.

You can install on three computers (as you have), but you can only be activated on two at a time for one user. Yes, you will have to continue signing in and out when you use three. There is no getting around this.
