Using multiple AdobeID's simultaneously

I own a Creative Cloud for Teams subscription that I use regularly between a desktop and a notebook. Rarely I need to use the software on a third machine. However, I need to use Adobe Acrobat daily on that third computer. What is happening now is that I need to constantly logoff/logon and deactivate one of the licenses, just because of my need to use Acrobat on one of the machines. I'm thinking about getting an Adobe Acrobat license for the third machine. 

 

My question is this: when I will login on the third machine with the intent of using just Acrobat, if I assign an Acrobat license to my AdobeID, will "Adobe license server" apply my Acrobat license? Or my Creative Cloud license?

 

I'm thinking I can create a different AdobeID just for Acrobat. However, on my phone I use Adobe Account Access app and also Adobe Scan. I'm worried that this will all become a mess even worse that just having to logon/logoff from one of the3 computers as I have now.

 

Can anyone provide me any feedback in case you have more information or a possible solution for my situation? Thank you so much!

This is not especially tidy.

1.There is only a CC license: Acrobat uses the CC license.

2.A given Adobe ID will add together all the plans to get the eligible apps (for example, Photography Plan+Acrobat will leave you with Photoshop+Lightroom+Acrobat eligible)

3. You can sign on with a given Adobe ID on at most two systems. 

4. Overlapping subscriptions (such as Acrobat + Creative Cloud All Apps) do not increase the two system limit.

5. You can have multiple Adobe IDs, each with their own eligible apps.

6. You cannot be signed in with multiple different Adobe IDs at the same time on the same system. So, for example, if you have the Photography Plan and the Acrobat plan on different Adobe IDs, you can sign in and use Photoshop+Lightroom, OR you can sign in and use Acrobat. You cannot use both at the same time on the same system.

Thank you so much for your detailed answer. You did provide some light.

Unfortunately it seems that even if I would buy an additional Acrobat license, I will not be able to solve my needs. I will have to continually log off/on and activate/deactivate the existing Creative Cloud for Teams license.

Thank you once again!

correct.  ie, again it's not clear why you have a teams subscription.

it's not clear why you have a teams subscription and why you have multiple adobe id's, but given that you do, you can expect that each adobe id can have its own product licenses applied to it.  you can sign into one or two computers with each adobe id without signing out.  each id can be assigned whatever subscription(s) you hold for your team.
