I will be away in Florida for the winter. I have a basic ($9.99/mo) PS/LRC subscription. I have 2 interrelated questions:

1. Can I use my subscription temporarily on another computer while away?

2. How can I access my images/ LR catalog remotely?

I want to figure this out before 15 JAN 2025 as I will have to make a change in my current subscription, e.g. change to annual billing.

I tried to use the virtual assistant to answer this but could not get it to understand the question, let alone answer. Also unable to reach human being. Would apprecite any thoughts.

1. yes*

2. post in the lr forum,

you can install the cc desktop app from here https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud on as many 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.

2. How can I access my images/ LR catalog remotely?

If you are using LR, the Cloud version (aka Lightroom-Desktop) then you simply have LR installed on your laptop, need an internet connection, and Sign In. Your photos are in the Adobe Cloud and available anywhere. (even with any browser app as Lightroom-Web.)

If you are using LrC (Lightroom-Classic) then it gets more complicated. See this link for using LrC (Lightroom-Classic) on multiple computers-

"change to annual billing."

As from 15th January the US$9.99 20GB Plan will be-

US$9.99 PAID ANNUALLY
