Important Adobe Creative Cloud 2019 Notes

  • Staff/Named licenses require periodic Internet connectivity. Computers must connect to Adobe servers for initial activation, and then at least once every 99 days. End users cannot use mobile apps unless the company deploys named licenses.
  • An Adobe Creative Cloud membership lets you use your apps on two computers. To use your apps on a third computer, sign out of the app on one of the first two computers. Signing out deactivates all installed Creative Cloud apps and services associated with your Adobe ID on that computer.
