Trying to package an InDesign file to open on a different PC with same account

I am trying to package an InDesign file on my Macbook and move it to a Mac desktop linked to my university's printers. When I package the InDesign file, two of the fonts are protected. I have managed to evade this by outlining the fonts- however, I am unsure why this happens. I am opening this packaged file on the same Adobe account (which has an enterprise subscription and all the same activated fonts), so I am unsure why the fonts are not coming across. 

 

Any ideas?

Are those two fonts Adobe fonts? They won't be packaged.

 

They'll be available via Creative Cloud wherever you open your file.

One of them is, yes. When I login to my Adobe account on the Mac computer, the fonts don't sync even though I am logged into the same account.

Does it mean that one of the "protected" fonts is from Adobe fonts, while the second one is not? If so, then where is the second protected font from?

Are those fonts activated in Creative Cloud and available in InDesign?

 

Also, do you have this option checked in Preferences > File Handling:

On the second computer, did you attempt to visit fonts.adobe.com and make sure the font is activated? Second, did you go to the CC app and make sure the font is available (a step you don't necessarily have to make, but I'm being thorough.)

Personally, I find it disconcerting that Adobe fonts don't cooperate with packaging into a "Document fonts" sub-folder.
