Increase user license to install and use on more than 2 computers

[Cap9009]

Is it possible, and I'm willing to pay for it, to install and activate a single user license on more than two computers?

Adobe indicates "Your individual Creative Cloud license lets you install apps on more than one computer and activate (sign in) on two. However, you can use your apps on only one computer at a time."

how can one person need more?

you can install the cc desktop app from here https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud on as many computers as you own and use it to install all (or some, if you want) of your cc subscription programs. the only (insignificant for internet connected computers) limitation is that you can sign-in (and therefore start your adobe programs) on, at most, two computers at any one time.  

because you can sign out from either (or both) signed-in computers using a 3rd computer, this could not (imo) be easier.

This isn't necessary - you can install Creative Cloud on any number of machines - but you can only be logged in on two concurrently.

Adobe has a neat way to handle - when you log into your third machine, it will bring up a screen that you are logged in on more than two machines and it lets you remote log out of one of the others to continue on the current machine.

I find myself wanting more than 2 licenses for some apps constantly and simultaneously. To get 4 licenses I have two subscriptions with DIFFERENT Adobe IDs. Arguably I need FOUR subscriptions.

@Test Screen Name Why? The new system allows you to run CC on any machine - the only restriction is you can only have two active at the same time. I run CC on 5 different machines all with the same ID without issue.

It all depends what you are doing with the CC apps. I have Acrobat on multiple VMs, which I will be switching between constantly. Running a test on four machines can be fast. Running a test with four sign ins and waits would not be so fast.

I agree with you. I also use three systems for work: one desktop and two laptops. I'm not even counting the VM's that I connect to. The question here is not about not being able to disconnect other licenses  but I'm willing to pay for additional licenses to have at least 3-4 concurrent licenses. According to Adobe, this is not allowed.

Hi there, 

As mentioned by Kglad and Kevin, we can install Adobe Creative Cloud apps on multiple devices but can only activate two machines concurrently and use one at a time. 

However, it seems you are trying to add additional licenses for your users; if yes, then please request a consultation with our sales team for the same: https://adobe.ly/3ZfVfrf.

Hope this helps.

i second @Kevin Stohlmeyer's comment.

i have a mac and pc side-by-side and another compute at my office and find it couldn't be easier moving among the three to use my cc apps with one subscription.
