I find the Activate/Deactivate information but that doesn't explain how I transfer activation back and forth between my desktop and laptop Macs.

I have a subscription on my desktop, but nothing on my laptop.

I understand I can only use one computer at a time. I just don't know how to get the basic (?) software onto my laptop so I can activate or de-activate it there.

You can subscribe on a monthly basis. If you subscribed annually you can cancel it, but you might be required to pay a large part of the total amount anyway. Also, there's a free trial version you can use for 7 days, if you only need it for a very short time...

Make sure you're installing the same version, using the same installer, and that you're logged into the same account on both machines.

If you have a subscription there's no activate/deactivate option. The software is "activated" when you're logged-in to your account.

I'm sorry, but I did not mean (if I did) to give a 'correct answer' star.

To be clear:

I have subscribed on my laptop to Acrobat Adobe DC Pro (even though I only need it for a couple of days, really HATE the required ANNUAL!!!) ...

So I go to my laptop and sign in to Acrobat Adobe (hope to be able to activate) and all I can get to is a page of Adobe's 'to buy' or 'free trial'. I don't know how to get to my subscription.

Thank you.
