Hi everybody;

If I already have creative cloud on 2 computers and decide to buy a new one, can I install it again on the new one?

Of course the old one goes to the dumpster and won't be used anymore.

Yes, you can use the Creative Cloud applications on new computer as well.

If you had already activated on 2 computers previously and do not have access to computers to deactivate , while activating CC Apps , you will get a pop up notification , like Maximum Activations Exceeded.

In the same pop up , you will get an option as " Sign out from all devices"  .

Click on it , it will reset the activation count to zero .

Then you can go ahead and install and activate CC apps on any of 2 new computers as per your choice.

Before dumping computers , please make sure to deactivate subscription by signing out from Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop app:

Signing out will deactivate CC subscription on the particular computer.
