Hi there,
For the past year, I have been paying for my own personal Adobe Photography Plan. Very recently, however, my school has begun to offer a free Adobe Creative Cloud subscription for the majority of students. I have a few questions in regards to this, so bear with me if you can:
- Is it possible for me to transfer/apply the school's subscpition to my own personal account?
- I have already setup both accounts. I.E. I've had my personal account in use for a little over a year now and just today I have created my school account to gain access to other applications, such as Premier Pro and After Effects.
- Is there anyway to use/transfer the school's Creative Cloud subscripton over to my personal account?
2. What would happen if I cancel my Personal Account's subscription?
- I have already done some research in to this topic, in the event that I cannot transfer my school's CC license/subscription to my own personal account. However, I was unable to find the answers I needed for my own personal concerns.
- For example, when I currently log in to either account (School Account w/ CC License & Personal Account w/ Photography License) my Lightroom Classic Catalog is exactly the same, thankfully. All my edits are there, all my collections, all my metadata, etc. I assume this is because I have my Lightroom Catalog saved to my internal SSD, is this correct? If so, am I safe to cancel my own Personal Photography Plan until my school account stops offering the CC Subscription?
- Is it fine to continue to work on that same catalog, that I created with my Personal Account, with the School's Creative Cloud account?
3. Questions in regards to the future and returning to my Personal Photography Plan Account/Subscription - after school's Creative Cloud Account/Subscription is no longer active
- (Will all of the work I create on the School's CC Account be accessible when I reactivte my Personal Account's subscription?)
- I save all of my work locally through my internal drives, as well as through backup external drives. Is that enough to prevent any potential problems from happening in the future?
- Will whatever new presets, collections, metadata, (etc.) that I add to my Lightroom Classic catalog on my School's Creative Cloud Account be syncronized and the same when I open up the catalog via my Personal Photography Account when I renew the subscription in the future?
- Lastly, for other applications (After Effects, Premier Pro, InDesign, etc.) if I backup and save my work locally - if I decide to upgrade my Personal Photography Plan Account's subscription to a Creative Cloud subscription, in the future, will I have access to all of the work I have created and made?
Perhaps I'm overthinking things, but if you read through all of that and answered - thank you very much. I just want to ensure that I do not make any mistakes and potentially lose lots of hardwork for a very petty reason. In addition, I do know my school will be offering the free Creative Cloud subscription through our school emails till the summer of 2021, yet I don't know if it will continue past that.
As I am a student, I want to do what I can to save money (don't we all though?) which is why I've asked so many questions. Hopefully they aren't too confusing, but if there is any need for clarification I will resond as soon as I see it.
Thank you very much, stay safe, and best wishes!
