About creative cloud license. Multiple devices

[Juan36107323hkfo]

Hi, I have read about Creative Cloud license

I have a doubt. In web page it says that I could install in several devices and be logged in two of them at the same time

I have also found in the web page and speaking about general applications, that you can only use ONE app at the same time. It is logical, of course.

But my question is about Creative Cloud, as it is a "pack of applications" 

For example, could I use in one device ADOBE ACROBAT and at the same time PHOTOSHOP in the other device? Both with PHOTOSHOP of course not, but different apps ?

Hope your answer, thanks.

yes (though it's not clear how you could, at the same instant, do anything on two different computers).  ie, if there's 1 millisecond between action 1 and action 2, they're not simultaneous.  so, for all practical purposes:

you can install your cc subscription programs on an unlimited of mac and an unlimited number of pc's by installing the cc desktop app from here https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud on your computers and using it to install your programs/trials.

the only (insignificant for internet connected computers) limitation is that you can sign-in (and therefore start your programs/trials) on, at most, two computers at any one time.

Sorry, may I have not explained well. The case is that I will be in one computer (Frist device) using Photoshop and another person in the other computer (second device) using ADOBE CROBAT.  Both working at the same time, different application but same creative cloud license.

Do you think that this is possible ?

Thanks.

i know it is. i do it frequently on the two computers at my desk .

[Juan36107323hkfo]

Great, thanks a lot. It is like I thought it must be. Thanks a lot.

[kglad]

you're welcome.

No, this is not allowed. Your license is for one user and does not include a second person using your license. See this page:

Can I use my software on two computers?

If you own, or are the primary user of, a single-user- or volume-license Adobe product that is installed on a computer at work, you can also install and use the software on one secondary computer of the same platform at home or on a portable computer. However, you may not run the software simultaneously on both the primary and secondary computers.

No more than one user can use a single-user-license Adobe product.

Hello, this is just the opposite that @kglad is saying.

May be @jane-e is speaking about the same app?

Hi Juan,

Adobe's policy is clear. Here is a second link from Adobe that answers your question.

https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/using/policy-account-sharing.html#commerce-buy-now

Note that it states "individual plans", not "same apps" in the plan. Individual plans cannot be shared. 

Here is a quote:

Frequently Asked Questions about sharing individual Adobe accounts

Can I share my Adobe account with family members or friends?

No. Individual plans are for one person only. You can't have more than one person share an individual plan. in the sections 'Use of Services and Software' and 'User Conduct' of Adobe General Terms of Use. Also, learn how to best use your individual Adobe licenses and memberships."

Sorry @kglad just to confirm , you have said you have already tested my case,  haven't you? Thanks.

The terms and conditions are clear. The license is personal, I.e. it is to you. You can install on two computers for example a PC and laptop. Many do that.

You cannot allow another person to use your license on either PC.

If you need to do that as a business, look at multiple personal license or an Enterprise license.

Ok, I understand what you mean, it is clear. Reading kglad I understand that I could

[Juan36107323hkfo]

If I use two pcs on my own at the same, different apps, I could. But not if it is used by other person

[kglad]

and you can use the same app, at the same time on different computers. eg, i sometimes do some animate work on my pc and then usb it over to my adjacent mac and do more animate work with it.

[davescm]

"...you can use the same app, at the same time on different computers..."

Actually Adobe's FAQ on their licence terms, linked above by Jane and again below, specifically address and prevent that, stating "...you may not run the software simultaneously on both the primary and secondary computers". I am not a lawyer, but those words look very specific and clear.

i disagree, but don't wish to argue about it.

@Juan36107323hkfo 

your op stated "you" would be using both computers.  i didn't notice the change in your subsequent post where you stated you were going to "share" your license (which as noted is verboten), no matter whether used at the same time or different times.
