Personal subscription used only by me in a job? Possible or not?

Hello, I have a question in need - is it possible to use my personal licence of Photoshop and Illustrator on my personal laptop for my newly acquired job in a company (if it is a commercial environment)? Laptop and therefore mentioned programs would be used only by me, and I don't even need to connect to the company network/wi-fi etc. (I will use the paid data in my phone as hotspot). Or does it somehow break rules of my personal license? I am a bit confused.

Hi @Black368293521w66,

Thanks for reaching out. As checked, you have an active Individual Creative Cloud license associated with the Adobe ID used to post this query.

Adobe's licensing terms generally allow you to use your personal license for commercial purposes, provided the software is installed on devices that you own and control. However, there are a few important considerations:

  • The license is for a single user, meaning only you can use the software.
  • You can install the software on multiple devices, but you can only use it on one device at a time.
  • Even if Adobe's terms allow it, your company's policies might have additional restrictions. It is advisable to check with your employer to ensure compliance with their software usage policies.

Some companies require employees to use a business or enterprise license for security, compliance, and asset management. If your company reimburses you or mandates the use of the software for your job, they may need to provide a Creative Cloud for Teams or Enterprise license.
