Installing and using adobe in multiple computers

I bought Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, etc for my MAC a year ago...

I realized I need it on my work computer (PC) too. I was told I could install it in multiple computers since I bought a licence.

How do I do that?

Cloud License allows 2 activations at a time http://www.adobe.com/legal/licenses-terms.html

-Windows or Mac does not matter... 2 on the same operating system, or 1 on each

-Two activations on one account MAY NOT be in use at the same time (note in the above license link)

If you have the serial number versions instead of a Cloud subscription, the serial number is platform specific

In other words, you can't put diesel in a gasoline car... or install a Mac only program on Windows

"Two activations on one account MAY NOT be in use at the same time" i read the link and found this quote "However, you may not use the Software on these devices simultaneously" does that mean i can't use Animate on one computer and Premiere Pro on another computer at the same time or does it mean i can't run Premiere Pro on 2 computers at the same time.

If the applications are part of the same subscription, then you may not.
