    Are you saying that you have two licenses now? 

     

    As others have said: you can install on three computers (for one user) and activate on two at a time. You will be asked to deactivate when you go to the third.

     

    One thing that has not been mentioned is that there are advantages to having one account for a single user with multiple computers, such as libraries and documents stored in the Cloud.

     

    Also note that the iPad version does not count as one of the two activations. It is in addition.

    With a regular subscription, you can install Photoshop on as many computers as you like, but only two can be activated at any time. So you can use it on the MacBook pro, as long as one of the other computers is deactivated.

    When you launch Photoshop on the third computer, you will get a dialog where you choose which one of the two others to deactivate.

    I'v been using three computers like this for some time, and it works without issues.

    By the way, a teams license is $34. I can't find whether this is per machine (3 x $34).

    Ah found it. The restrictions seem to be the same; so far as I can see you'd still need TWO Teams users, each of which can sign on to two computers at once (but must only use it on ONE AT A TIME).

    The only wasy to get a license to that allows you to be signed in on three machine:

    - switch to Teams licenses

    - buy a second retail license under a DIFFERENT Adobe ID (no automatic sharing cloud files between them).
