We have a training department that has several classrooms where they teach various topics using the CC apps. I have been given access to setup Adobe accounts for licensing CC 2017 purposes. Is there a way to tie more than two licenses to an email address and one Adobe account? If so, how do it do it and how many licenses can i tie to one Adobe account?

    Unfortunately not. The Adobe ID is tied to an individual and as you state, can be used on only two devices. Also use should not be concurrent.

    Possibly a better fit for this scenario would be a Device License which, as the name implies, licenses the computer rather than the individual. However, I appreciate you may not have any control over the type of licenses you have to deploy.

    Hi,

    Can you provide more details about what you are trying to do?

    There are different types of licenses; individual, team, enterprise and device licenses. What kind do you have?

    An Adobe ID is an individual account and the ID takes the form of an email address, therefore only one email address can be attached to the Adobe ID.

    Manage your Adobe ID account

    I'm not sure what kind of licenses we have. I was given admin rights to dole out Adobe licenses\accounts here a few months ago. We got 300 licenses for InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Acrobat Pro. I'm not sure if that tells you anything.

    What i'm trying to do is allocate like 15 - 20 licenses to one email account for our training rooms. I have been very successful setting up user's with Adobe accounts and setting them up to use the apps listed above. The problem is it seems that you can only tie one Adobe account or license with two workstations.

    Is there any way to get around having to create 10 email accounts per training room?
