How do I add a second computer to my account?

    Correct answer Ned Murphy

    Your single license allows you to have two active installations, meaning you can have it installed and enabled on two machines.  You can have the software installed on as many machines as you like, but only two of them can be in an activated state at a given time.

    As far as using the two machines at the same time goes, the jury is currently out on that - I had the question in for clarification but did not get a response yet.  They recently rewrote the license agreement and the portion that explicitly stated you cannot use the two at the same time was either removed or relocated somewhere else that I have yet to find.

    If you mean that you want to have another machine licensed for someone else to use then you need to buy a new license for that other person.

    You may add it however you may only be logged into your Creative Cloud account on one machine at a time. In most cases if you are logged into more than one it will log you off the other machine.

      Thank you. That answers my question.

      Just install your software on it and enable/activate it.

      I know how to download. I mean, what are the requirements from adobe? does it cost extra to add a computer on your account?  I really want to know what adobe's policies are for adding a second computer before I go out and buy one. There is nowhere on the adobe site under my account that answers or addresses that question.
