Adding Students and Licencing effect

K-12 enviroment, we currently still use device licensing, which has worked well for 2 years and plan to move to the shared device and user licensing for the fall.  However, I'm attemtping to setup art and photography students in our k-12 enivorment to be able to use the 2 months free license.

I believe I'm just going to upload the bulk users to a students group via csv.  From testing this out it seems to work fine, though it takes a few steps to create the account for the students.

My question is will these licences effect my available licences I currently have remaining.

I'm weary of using federated ID or enterprise ID because it seems like it would effect our current license and activated devices.

Any guidance would be great.

Thanks

The free at-home access plan does not affect your current Named user licenses. Any users already present in your admin Console with have access automatically; for example, users with Adobe Spark for K-12.

 

If you're adding new users, when you upload the CSV to create the new user accounts, ensure that you do not associate these users with any Product or Profile, either directly or through a group. If you have  Adobe Spark, you can assign the Adobe Spark product to the users, so that they get access to the basic services.

Hi Rob,

 

"To be eligible for this access, your school or college must be a current customer with an active Device, Shared Device License, or Serial Number plan." Source: https://helpx.adobe.com/enterprise/kb/covid-19-education-labs.html 

Hence, it does not affect your current Device licenses as well.
