Accessing Two CC Licenses on one Machine?

Explorer ,
Dec 05, 2016 Dec 05, 2016

By virtue of having access to CC at work (via enterprise license) and CC at home (Via a Photographer bundle license), I would like to install and use things from my corporate account on my computer at home (which is allowed).  Yet when I try to install, let's say, Dreamweaver on my home computer, it automatically accesses my home CC adobe Id, so it won't let me download it.

I bought the Photoshop-Lightroom  license about a year ago, and it will be up in a couple of months, so I figure I could just not renew that when it comes up. However, that doesn't do me any good now.

Is there a way around this?   Physically what happens is that i sign in using my enterprise sign-in. This brings up my authentication on my corporate service. Once I'm authenticated, I get the opportunity to download apps through that dashboard. But once I select an app an click "Download" it immediately opens up the Adobe CC on my local box and installs the app as a Trial, rather than a paid app.

Thanks for the help in advance!

You can sign in and out with different Adobe ID accounts or Enterprise/Federated ID accounts.

Only one at a time will be active however and each will have separate storage entitlements.

The opm.db file contains cached user login information and deleting this file is a useful troubleshooting step. Once deleted a fresh file will be automatically created when you launch Creative Cloud and log back in.

  • Close the Creative Cloud application.
  • Navigate to the OOBE folder.
    Windows: [System drive]:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
    Mac OS: /Users/[user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE folder
  • Delete the opm.db file.
  • Launch Creative Cloud.

I don't know who marked this "Correct Answer" but I did not. I'm not sure if this is the answer or not at the moment.

While I understand what this indicates, if I'm not mistaken, all this does is remove the local (personal CC account) from the cache. Does this address the ability to operate with some apps under one license and other apps under a different license?

Theoretically, if I understand this correctly, I would delete the open.db file, which removes my cached login for my personal Creative Cloud account (which currently is for Photoshop and Lightroom).  Now I launch my process from the corporate server, and I choose to "download" Dreamweaver.  Since there is no open.db file, my assumption is that the Adobe mechanics will build a new open.db file with my corporate login credentials and download the application. Perhaps this works fine and I continue to download other apps, but not Photoshop and Lightroom.

Now, after this, I have, say four apps downloaded:  Photoshop and Lightron (which were downloaded under my personal license), then also Dreamweaver and Premiere Pro (Under my corporate license). In the open.db, the cached credentials would still be the corporate ones. If I open Dreamweaver, I imagine that this will work just file. If I open Photoshop, it seems this wouldn't work because there would be a mismatch of login credentials.
