Hi
Is it posible to be logged in with different accounts in different apps?
I have an account at work with all the apps, that I use for InDesign and Illustrator.
Then I have a personal photo plan I want to use just for my private photos, and use with Lightroom.

Is this somehow possible? When I try to log out of light room with my work profile it says it will log out of all apps...

Correct answer John T Smith

It IS possible to have different accounts on one computer but NOT at the same time

 

Sign OUT of account A to be able to sign IN to account B to use different programs

 

You may NOT be signed in to both account A and account B at the same time

this is very painful. I have a corporate account and a personal account. the corporate account include certain apps, the personal others. every time I sign in on the corportae one lightroom deletes all the local copies of my cloud photos. it should really be a per app sign in rather then a global one. it already works like that on ipad and it's perfect.

    Yes, I'm having this same issue. When I sign out of my personal account to use my work account (for adobe acrobat), adobe has deleted and replaced my entire CC cloud folder including all my photos in it. When I'm done, and logged back into my personal account I get to redownload 20 GB of data, yay!

    This needs to be changed to a per-app sign-in, and users personal data should never be deleted for a machine like this. Very frustrated with Adobe right now.

    I never did sign in to my private account on my work computer and vice versa, just to avoid that. Even looking into it, from a professional perspective, it's not very clean to have private stuff on a work computer and work stuff on a private computer.

    when I switch to business account, upon opening a scan item the computer switches back to personal without me asking for it

    I would like to delete the personal account

    Do you mean you want to cancel your Individual Creative Cloud membership plan?

    Hi there, 

     

    You can activate your Creative Cloud subscription on two machines and use one at a time. 

    You can use only one account on a machine. 

     

    Do let us know if you have any questions. 

     

    Thanks 

    Kanika

    You really ought to make it possible to switch between multiple accounts!

     

    But thanks for the answer...

      You can.

       

      Any CC app – Help menu > Sign out...

       


      hi having the same issues.... - use adobe acrobat for work - which requires business licence - no problems, but I have to sign out of ALL my personal adobe apps to be able to sign in - and vice versa, so at end of work day if i want to sue photoshop or lightroom and i have sign out and resign in -  Why can't I just switch accounts? then have acces to only those apps licenced under that app?
