Installing Adobe CC on a Cloud Computer

[samg57081662]

Hi everyone,

I have a mid range PC which handles the Adobe Software pretty well, but I'm thinking of trying a cloud based computing service such as Shadow. Does anyone know if I can install Adobe CC onto a 3rd party cloud computer?

I doubt the license will authorize cloud computing. You'll have to talk to customer support. Unless you have fiber and your up and down transfer speeds equal to a LAN network it's going to be incredibly difficult and slow to manage the files and the rendering. My typical five-minute project is near a terabyte including footage, but most of my work involves 4K raw or 10 bit or better footage, audio, music production, and actors. If all you are doing is motion graphics you are probably going to be OK uploading assets to AE. Relying on local storage for video footage and cloud computing is going to be problematic.

as shadow say: You get a full Windows 10 PC equipped and you's able to Install the games and softwares you want

so you must be able to run adobe CC on this Win 10

I once tried to install Adobe to a virtual box. The installer recognized this and failed. Don't know, how Shadow is handled under the surface.

If you look into the specs, the shadow-computer is not that impressive, anyway:

8 Core Xeon, 12GB RAM... this translates into an CPU which is not suitable for AE and way to less RAM.

Also keep in mind, that you need to transfer your data to the remote computer first, and you only have 256 GB of shadow drive. When it's graphics - okay, but when it's 4k RAW footage - ui!

Thank you, everyone! Your speedy input was helpful. If I do try a cloud computing service, I'll let you know how it pans out.
