Will I lose content if I change Adobe License?

Question

The company I work for is considering changing adobe license providers. Will I lose content if I transfer to a new license? In other words, can I open my documents and projects (Photoshop, PDFs...) under the new license or will those be lost? The files are saved onto my documents apart from the creative cloud.

Adobe license provider means you are changing the reseller? Or you are changing from an individual to a teams license or vice versa?

Just to be clear: the documents you create are independent of the license type you use. A creative Cloud for Teams license can open your Illustrator/Photoshop/Indesign file the same way than a Creative Cloud all apps or single apps -- for the file type. There is no difference and the code is the same. In the same, you can mix MacOS and Windows without a problem.

As of the cloud data, that one is attached to your Adobe id. If the Adobe id loses its Cloud assignment because a teams license gets assigned to a different user or your individual license gets cancelled, you need to save your data locally, as the cloud will go back to a 2Gb free account.

So the answer is: All files can be opened with the correct application regardless of the license type or the reseller.
