Multiple user accounts on a single Mac

I'm having some problems with an iMac (10.15.7).

I have an Adobe subscription in my current user account. If I create a new user account on this same machine, will I still be able to use my Adobe subscription? Or will it count as a second seat?

The subscription is bound to your Adobe Id and not to your computer's user accounts. Secondly, you are free to install the apps on as many computers as needed, activate on two, but use on one machine at a time. So, even if it identifies your second user account as a different activation, you should be good as you will be using just one user account at a time.

Thank you, Manan. 

I understand the difference between install and activate; my apologies for not being more precise in my question. Fortunately, you answered it anyway!
