License Adobe before or after settingup user accounts?

Aloha all!

I've just purchased 25 device licenses for CC.  They are going to be used in, you guessed it, as 25 seat lab (Macs).  However, each machine has multiple user accounts.  Will it be less of a headache if I license adobe on an administrative account before setting up the other user accounts, or am I going to end up having to license it for each account regardless?

In the event I have to license it for each account, could I shortcut the process by doing that on one machine, then using Migration Assistant to copy the accounts to other machines?

I expect that I'll have to physically sit at each machine in turn, logging into and out of user accounts, and authorizing each time.  And I further expect that Adobe will force me to do this several times a year.  Boy, would I be thrilled to be wrong!

You cannot use the migration assistant due to the specifics of the activation system. For the rest you may want to have a look at the Enterprise Deployment Guides and CC for Teams help files... The licensing is per user, not per machine, so all that matters is the Adobe ID provided on sign in regardless of who the actual user is as a real person.

Actually, for site licensing, Adobe has both per-user and per-device licensing.  What I've bought is the per-device.  I did originally post this question in the Enterprise area, but so far, no one has responded.  I just thought I'd try casting a wider net!
