Hello,

I am paying for CC. I am self-employed + I've just started to work under employe in his office (so I have 2 jobs). My employe has only CS4 on his computer. I would like to use my CC subscription instead. Is it legally possible?

Thank you for answers and your time.

Well it is up to you what you do. I was just giving you my opinion. But the first thing to do is talk to your employer about it.

Best of luck to you.

Thank you. No problem with employer, I am asking mainly about the license and if such usage of the software is not a problem legally. Again, thank you for hints and ideas. He won't update anytime soon from what I undestood and "Content Aware Tools" are kinda "everyday need" to me.

IMHO in theory it is possible but if you install your second instance on your employers computer you won't be able to install on any other computer until it is deactivated on the employers system.

Then you have are you allowed to install software on a company computer?

Not sure how Adobe would look at it. I'm just another user.

Personally I wouldn't do that. I would first request the employer to update to the newer version. If they refused I would use what they have.

Or bring my personal notebook and do the work on that. That is IF the company allowed that.

The thing is I am paying the CC to work on it. It's on my name. You can have 2 instances on your computer. For example desktop station and laptop. This would suit me, as I would use my copy on desktop "employe" work and other instance on my home computer so I could work on "all my work" using same space. The thing is, that employes CS4 is even in different language and of course CS4 is miles away from CC so I am getting really schisophrenic here and instead of progression, I have workflow recession.
