Hi

This qn  has been asked several times and adobe is clearly ignoring the same. Is there any option to check the usage statistics of a creative cloud app? I would really like to see if my employees are actually using the product that we bought for them.

Why don't you simply ask your employees if they use the products?

Because very few will give up a product license they have once obtained!

That's not possible. Adobe has no knowledge of how and when the apps are used beyond the anonymous crash reports and usage data that is sent in sporadically when needed to diagnose problems. There's a million technical and legal reasons for this. If you want to check program usage, you have to install local tracking software on your computers that monitors your employees, but that in itself could be totally illegal depending on your country's privacy and employment regulations.

Hi ,

I don't think it's possible because the apps can be used offline and in this case the stats will be incorrect .
