I am a long-time Creative Cloud subscriber. A nice addition would be allowing unlimited installations of Acrobat Pro. I say this as one who just finished installing pdf reader on this computer. Thanks.

Your Adobe Individual license entitles you to install on as many devices as you wish. But only two devices may be activated concurrently.  And only one device can be used at a time. 

 

If you have a multi-user environment, consider getting a Creative Cloud for Teams plan designed for small businesses.  Includes an Admin Console for managing seats (user licenses) and other perks.

Hope that helps.

Thank you, Nancy. But I use Acrobat a lot. Several times a day. Signing in and out is, frankly, a pain. FYI I am a very small business. My idea of a big project is teaming up with my wife, the video maven. But I use technology a lot. Please suggest my idea to someonevon the CC team. 

Thanks again,

Tony

sharing your license explains why two sign-ins isn't sufficient for you.

 

but it's illegal to share an individual license and that explains why, from adobe's point of view, two is enough.

============

Nothing you or I say will change the License TERMS, sorry.  Licensing is a legal matter.

 

Besides sign-in/out takes 2 seconds, a small concession for using apps on multiple workstations with a single user license.

Thank you, Nancy.  I completely understand licensing.  As a sometimes software author, I have issued a number of them.  But licensing is not merely a legal issue.  It limits our use of the products.  As such, the license terms are pretty important to product managers,

Added: when you're moving among the various computers frequently, 2 seconds a pop adds up.  And I'm an old guy.  My typing skills are not what they used to be.  Takes me at least five seconds, even using password managers.

you can install the cc desktop app from here https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud on as many (mac and/or win) computers as you own and use it to install all (or some, if you want) of your cc subscription programs.

 

the only (insignificant for internet connected computers) limitation is that you can sign-in (and therefore start your adobe programs) on, at most, two computers at any one time. because you can sign out from either (or both) signed-in computers using a 3rd computer, this could not (imo) be easier.
