I have the subscription plan for Lightroom/Photoshop.  I understand I can install it on a second computer (which I just got).  How do I get started on the new installation. I don't have Adobe Cloud on my new computer so how do I logon to Adobe Cloud and/or what is the website to get the installation started?  I have my Adobe logon and password ready to apply to the second install.  Thanks for any help.

The Creative Cloud desktop application controls all of that. If you download the app from that link, open the app, and sign in with your Adobe ID, you can use that app to install any Creative Cloud software that you’re paying for.

 

Anyone can download and install Creative Cloud software on any number of computer accounts. Whether those installations actually run depends on whether they can sign in with a Creative Cloud account with a valid plan (paid or trial).

 

If you have the very common single-user license, it allows two activations on computers that you (not other people) use. So you can always keep any two installations signed in, and those can be a mix of Windows and macOS computers.

Ok, to clarify.

You need to download the free Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App, a.ka. Creative Cloud Desktop

 

https://creativecloud.adobe.com/apps/download/creative-cloud?locale=en

 

Install that, sign in, then use it to install the various applications.

Go to the Adobe web site. Download the free trial software. Then install it. If you sign in with your Adobe user ID and password, then you now have two installations of that software, one on each computer.

Thanks for the reply.  I'll try that tonight.  Does the cost stay the same or would I then be charged twice?  Again, thanks.
