Question

What license allows sharing video projects

I am at a college where we need the students to share ongoing projects. They need an open lab where they don't have to log into an individual Adobe account, but can sit down and use the software on a video project that another student is working on as well. What license allows a team to all work on the same project, a shared Adobe login?

The days when a machine was licensed and anyone could just sit at it and use it are gone. Shared Device Licensing is the thing. Today, users each need an account; however you don't assign licenses to the account; rather you give them the ability to use the device licenses. At least, I think that's how it works.  https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/enterprise/using/sdl-faq.html

So does the Shared Device Licensing allow multiple people to work on one project?

What do you mean by "multiple people working on one project"?

- saving work, sharing it, allowing others to work on it, share it etc.

- multiple separate accounts simultaneously editing the same project?

- something else?

>positive video post production houses have shared accounts 

 

You need to ask one or more of those places what is used

 

I do NOT know if this is still possible, but I have read that at one time Adobe provided MACHINE licenses instead of PERSON licenses, so the program could be installed on a computer for anyone to use... I think this was ONLY for education, but you will need to have your college administrator ask Adobe

 

As far as I know, no other Adobe program will allow anyone to sit at any computer and not sign in to his/her account... even a TEAM account has licenses assigned to an individual, not a computer

 

The below MAY allow sharing files

Just wanted to add, I am positive video post production houses have shared accounts because they all have to work on team projects.
