Acrobat license limitation for personal user vs. 3 machines

Hi masters,

 

I have Adobe Creative Cloud for personal purposes and 3 machines. As we know, this license only accept 2 activated products like Acrobat DC, so I always need to logoff them to open it on a third machine when I try to open a PDF file.

 

What ou guys usually do in this case? Deactivate it when Creative Cloud asks you to? Or install Acrobat Reader DC to have at least access to scan and some stuffs  on all machines? Or we have any other workaround to have Acrobat DC running on all 3 machines?

 

Thanks a lot and regards

If you are the only one to use these 3 machines you can login/logoff as you wish.

If you are 2 or several to use them you need more licenses.

If you need Acrobat on all of your machines you should buy an additional license for it. Just use a different account for it. It's not recommended to have multiple subscriptions to the same application under a single account.

If I use a different account I will loose all cloud features like scan and document cloud because they will access different environment, it does not make sense.
