I would like to work on InDesign on several devices and a lot of programs and files necessary for work, so can I transfer the hard disk between the devices and keep the annual subscription to InDesign activated? ,,, In other words, if my computer crashes and I transfer the hard disk to another computer, does the indesign work without connecting to the Internet or re-subscribing?

Forget moving the hard disk with apps. It will not work. What you want to do would be useful, but Adobe have blocked this idea, of course, because they would lose control of how many copies of apps people could run.

You must use it as Adobe intended, which is

- install Creative Cloud app on each computer

- use Creative Cloud app to install InDesign on each computer.

- sign in or sign out as needed - you can sign in on up to two computer (this needs internet access)

Your work files can be on a removable disk. Make sure, if using Windows, that the drive letter is always the same.

You must connect to the internet DURING the year. CC apps are not for use if you do not connect to the internet.

Some people find it must connect to the internet every 2 months, to check on the subscription. Some people find it must connect to the internet every day. If it cannot check on the subscription, it signs out the user, and apps immediately stop working.

 

By the way, at the end of the year, you will auto renew - it is not a choice. If you do not want to auto renew, you must cancel in the last month.

Under your license you are permitted to install on as many computers as you like, and at any particular time your subscription may be activated on up to two computers simultaneously provided that they are used by the same user (you cannot share a license) and actvated copies are not used simultaneously.

Your system must be connected to the internet to activate/deactivate, but you should be able to use an activated install without a network connection for at least a short period of time until it needs to check in again to verify the subscription is active.
