I have the Photography Plan Today as my personal/private account.

 

We are looking at getting Adobe Illustrator at work.
Sometimes I need to do some work at home in Illustrator (when working from home).

 

Can I be logged in both at my works account and my personal account at the same time?

Hi,

The same email address ( 1 subscription ) allows 2 installs on 2 different machines without simultaneous use .

You can't use 2 Adobe IDs on te same machine .

This is a feature users having been requesting for YEARS. I see no reason Adobe wouldn't be able to setup their apps so that users can sign in to each app, rather than to the main CC app. This would easily allow someone to be singed into Photoshop on their personal account and Premier on their work account.

 

To me it shows either a lack of understanding or just apathy by Adobe of how businesses/freelancers (who have to make up a good portion of their business) operate in the creative marketplace.

 

Contrctors espcially are often provided with access to Adobe programs they need to do their job, like Illustrator but are often expected to have their own copy of Photoshop. An example would be in the news industry there are alot of photojournalist working as contractors who have Photoshop or Lightroom to be able to edit thier photos, and the company they are contracted with might give them access to Illustrator or Premier. Its unreasonable to ask these people to top what they are doing in Illustrator  or Premier, close out of all their Adobe apps, sign out, then sign back ino another account, just to be able to open Photoshop to edit an asset they need for what they are working on. 

 

Frankly, If I were Adobe, between this and years of doing shady instals of McAfee on peoples computers, I would be embarssed.

FYI - Our workaround sometimes is if your mashine can handel it, to run one of the apps in a virtual mashine locally or on the web and just hare files though onlin storage, Adobe's cloud, or a local NAS.

You only need to log in with the work Adobe id on both machine .Simultaneous use is from the legal view ,if you use both machines at the same time it will still work .
