Do I have to make 2 purchases of Lightroom to run it on my iMac & my macbook

Hi MichaelTicehurst,

If you have purchased Creative Cloud Subscription for lightroom then you can install and use Lightroom on upto 2 computers with same Serial Number / Subscription.

If you have purchased a Retail /single license or volume license / multiple user license for Lightroom then you can install the software on upto 2 computer but you can use 1 computer at the same time.

With Retail /single license or volume license / multiple user license if you want to use Lightroom on 2 computer at the same time then you have to purchase 2 diffrent license for 2 diffrent computers.

Hi MichaelTicehurst,

A single perpetual license you can get it installed on two machines but cannot use it simultaneously on both the machines but one at a time. For more information go through the mentioned kb: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/end-user-license-agreements-faq.html#main_Can_I_use_my_software_on_two_computers_ .

In case of subscription you can install and activate Creative Cloud desktop applications on two computers, regardless of operating system, for the individual associated with the Creative Cloud membership.
