Download Adobe CC to another device

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to install and later uninstall Adobe Illustrator and PhotoShop to my Fiance's iMac so I can continue freelance while my Mac Pro is being serviced. I have a Adobe CC subscription. How do I go about doing this? Since it is temporary, if only for a week would I be better off just downloading a trail?

The above is only temporary, a week only. Can I change it to another device in the future?

Thanks,

Kevin

On your Mac Pro, sign out of the Adobe Cloud. That deactivates all your Adobe Cloud apps on that computer. you can safely leave them installed but deactivated.

Learn how to activate and deactivate Creative Cloud apps

On your fiancee's iMac, sign in to your Adobe account. Download and install the Adobe desktop app. Then install the Cloud apps you want to use. They're all already activated provided you are signed in to your Adobe account.

When your computer has been repaired, deactivate on your fiancee's iMac and sign in again (activate your apps) on your Mac Pro.

Installing and activating are two completely different steps. You can leave the software installed but deactivated. Deactivating means you cannot use the software until you sign in. You can install Cloud software on as many computers as you like. However, you can only sign in (or activate the software for use) on a maximum of two computers at the same time.
