Using different applications on different computers at the same time

Question

Can anyone tell me simply if I can use Illustrator on one computer and Lightroom on a different computer at the same time?

I know I can download CC on two computers and I know I can use the same software (ie Illustrator) on one computer at a time, but can I use different software at the same time? I have looked at some of the previously asked questions many of which were outdated, some of which had 101+ replies and never got a concise answer.

yes. you need not read further if that's all you want to know.

additional details:

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

because you can sign out from the two signed-in computers using a 3rd computer, this could not (imo) be easier.

The license terms, however, state, that it is not allowed to have concurrent use on 2 computers. This would be the case having 2 people working with one license on 2 computers.
