I am currently update my business laptop from Windows to MacOs (MacBook) and wondering if I need another license for Adobe software or I can just log out on Windows Creative Cloud an reuse the same license on MacBook? 

Thank you in advance.

    Don't forget to log OUT of CC on the Windows machine so that it is deactivated. If you forget, you can go into your Adobe Account and deactivate it from there.

    it's absolutely unnecessary to sign out from a computer unless you're transferring or selling it to someone else.  again, because you can sign out from either (or both) signed-in computers using a 3rd computer, this could not (imo) be easier. https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/using/install-apps-number-of-computers.html

    correct, just install the cc desktop app on any/all the computers you own and sign in.  install all or some of your subscription apps and trials.

     

    more info:  you can install the cc desktop app from here https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud on as many (mac and/or win) computers as you own and use it to install all (or some, if you want) of your cc subscription programs. the only (insignificant for internet connected computers) limitation is that you can sign-in (and therefore start your adobe programs) on, at most, two computers at any one time.

    in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

     

    p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post if it helps you get responses.
