Just got creative cloud before going to college next fall using the student discount, and I was wondering how easy would it be to use it on two different computers. I plan on primarily using it on the MacBook i am planning to get, but until then, I will be using my gaming desktop. So, how easy/capable will it be to use creative cloud under the same account, on two different devices? Thank you,

EZPZ.  No trouble at all.   When you get your new computer, go on the Internet and download Creative Cloud desktop app just like you did on your current computer.   Then log-in with your ID and password, install your favorite software. 

Be sure to check that your new computer meets the minimum requirements to run Creative Cloud products + your OS and other software.

-Windows or Mac does not matter... 2 on the same operating system, or 1 on each

-Two activations on one account MAY NOT be in use at the same time (note in the above license link)

-An individual account is for one person and may not be shared with anyone else
