Question

Named Licence (Trial) must have Creative Cloud Desktop Application with CCP?

Hi,

We're using an education agreement for deployment of Adobe desktop applications, and previously, we created a trial or now named license to deploy the applications to our SOE, and then used a license package (after imaging) to licence the software.

In past versions of CCP the desktop application wasn't forced onto the machine, but it appears that it is now?  How can I prevent this? Our users aren't using the desktop application to sign in, we are using the license package.

Is there another way to create a trial package (sans desktop app)?

Regards,

Glenn.

    Hi Glenn,


    We're moving more and more of the essential shared componentry around activation and named user deployment, as well as software and asset acquisition, into Creative Cloud Desktop app.  Making Creative Cloud Desktop app mandatory allows us to streamline the user experience around login, activation, and service access, as we don't need to replicate this work everywhere.  This will be critical, for example, for CC Libraries, CC Assets, AEM Assets, and other core CC capabilities and their integration with the desktop and mobile tools.


    hence, creative cloud desktop app is mandate for Named license user.


    Thanks,

    Sure, but how does that help users who need a trial version in an SOE image, and are using the licence package instead of logging in using the Desktop app?

    What's the point of the licence package then?
