Whether you're running a creative agency, managing a school computer lab, or supporting a nonprofit media team, Adobe Creative Cloud offers licensing options that adapt to your environment. The key is choosing the right model like Named User Licenses or Shared Device Licenses to match how your team works.
Empower Individuals with Named User Licenses
If your team members need personalized access to Adobe apps across multiple devices, Named User Licenses are the way to go. Each license is assigned to a specific person, giving them the flexibility to install Creative Cloud apps on two devices like a desktop and a laptop without juggling logins or losing access.
But it’s more than just software. Named User Licenses unlock Adobe’s full cloud experience:
- 100GB of cloud storage for file sharing and collaboration
- Access to Adobe Fonts, Adobe Stock, and Behance
- Generative AI tools powered by Adobe Firefly in apps like Photoshop and Illustrator
- Seamless integration with Adobe Express for quick content creation
This setup is perfect for creatives who need mobility, cloud access, and the ability to collaborate across projects and platforms.
Equip Shared Spaces with Shared Device Licenses
On the other hand, Shared Device Licenses are built for environments where multiple users rotate through the same machines - think classrooms, labs, libraries, or training centers. Instead of assigning software to individuals, the license is tied to the device itself.
Any authorized user can log in and use Adobe apps on that machine, making it ideal for:
- Educational institutions with student labs
- Nonprofits running community workshops
- Organizations with shared workstations
While Shared Device Licenses don’t include personal cloud storage, they offer secure, scalable access to Adobe’s creative tools without the need to manage individual accounts.
One Platform, Many Possibilities
No matter which license you choose, Adobe Creative Cloud for teams delivers a unified platform with over 20 professional-grade apps. From Photoshop and Premiere Pro to InDesign and Adobe Express, your team can create for print, web, video, mobile, and immersive media all with the latest features and updates.
And with the Admin Console, managing licenses is simple. Add or reassign seats, deploy apps, and handle billing - all from one dashboard.
Adobe’s licensing options are designed to meet you where you are. Whether you're supporting individual creatives or managing shared environments. The right choice depends on how your team works, collaborates, and creates.
