Adobe CC on 2 computers? I think it is allowed and possible. Do any UHH members, who currently subscribe to Adobe CC, run apps on two computers? I'd appreciate any knowledge you have.

Yes it is allowed however you can only have it open on one computer at a time. Or so they say.

You can install PS CC Or all cloud applications on any number of computers. You can use two at the same time (I tried).

If you open an Adobe product on a third computer it will warn you and ask you if you want to sign off the other computers. Say 'ok' enter your credentials and you are in business. Say 'no' and it bails out.

Suppose you use an iMac, but your laptop runs on Windows. Does one CC subscription run across both?

I concur. You can have it installed on more than one PC but it can only be active on two at the same time. It's all controlled via the Adobe online account.

No. Well, maybe it will run on both, but it would be going against the users' license agreement. Even if your computer has a dual boot system, so you'd be using both Win and Mac version on the same computer, the terms of use say "No"

See:
2.1.5 Dual Boot Platform. The Software is licensed for use on a specific operating system platform. Customer must purchase a separate license for use of the Software on each operating system platform. By way of example, if Customer desires to in stall the Software on both the Mac OS and Windows operating system platforms on a device that runs both of those platforms (i.e., a dual boot machine), then Customer must first obtain two separate licenses for the Software. This is true even if two versions of the Software, each designed for a different operating
system platform, are delivered to Customer on the same media.

I just checked the question with the Adobe forum and Adobe stated that you can load and run your Adobe CC subscription on two computers but no more. It is the same licensing as the boxed product except with CC you can run both the Windows and a Mac OS version, with the boxed version it has to be the same OS.

Yes but only two. That said you can unregister either one and put it on your new laptop 0r desktop.

Or do you have to 'activate' each of the computers before using Adobe CC? I always thought you could only have two installations activated, although you may have installed on 20 computers. Thus to activate another computer, one of the original two 'activated' installs would have to be 'deativated'.

Not sure if this still holds and I only have two computers these days.

You would have to deactivate one of the two you already have the CC installed on to use a third computer. Most people suggest just buying a second license if you need it on a third computer. The idea being that most people need two systems operable for home/business use or home/mobile use.

Yes it's allowed and I have been doing it for 6 months now with no issues. Running Win 7 on one and Win 8 on the other.

I don't know who "they" are but "they" are incorrect. I do it all the time.

Could you give the reference to the forum? Please?
Because the way I read the CC-EULA, you need two licenses to run on both Windows and Mac (See the link a few messages up from here).
