Licenses

[BERG110]

If I have a desktop and two laptops of my own, how many licenses do I need?

You need one licence. But you can have only 2 computers active at the same time. https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/using/install-apps-number-of-computers.html

one.

you can install the cc desktop app from here https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud on as many (mac and/or win) 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 without signing-out. because you can sign out from either (or both) signed-in computers using a 3rd computer, this could not (imo) be easier. https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/using/install-apps-number-of-computers.html

p.s. did you post in the enterprise&teams forum unintentionally?

You only need one -

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.
