Creative Cloud Subscription Licensing

I already have a Creative Cloud Subscription, I need to add another license for a new employee. What are my options. Do I create another Creative Cloud account with an associated subscription or should I purchase the Adobe Cloud Team Ready offer and once Team Cloud becomes avaliable transion to Team Cloud. At the same time I have not read anything about how to transition a Creative Cloud Subscription to the Team Cloud. I am not sure if I see the added value at this time for doing things this way. The collaboration features are nice but there are other ways to do this and with a Adobe Cloud subscription at a lower price point, this may be the way to go. And in the distant future when Adobe Team Cloud becomes available and I can transition my Adobe Creative Cloud accounts there, why would I want to pay full price for the Team Ready features?
Am I totally mis understanding the literature that I am reading?
Thanks.

Hi Gabe_vi,
If its just for two subscriptions it might be better to just setup another individual subscription based on a different Adobe ID. If you wanted to get a qoute for the Team Ready offer it would be done through an authorized Adobe reseller.
This link can help someone find a reseller in NA

Not sure if you read this over already but it has more info about Team Ready

  • Volume licensing conflicts with creative cloud subscriptions on same adobeID

    I have volume licensing for adobe acrobat pro.  However, I also have one cancelled Creative Cloud version of Acrobat Pro that was cancelled due to inconvenient billing practices for CC.  When I install a new version of Acrobat Pro on a Mac, using the volume license serial number, it installs successfully for a month.  Then, out of nowhere, it fails to launch citing an expired creative cloud subscription.  I have paid close $5000 for these volume licenses.  They should never expire.  This only seems to happen on the Macs, the windows versions don't seem to have this issue.  So, how can I stop my volume licesened Acrobat Pros from randomly expiring?

    Hi foobars,
    Please try steps mentioned below:
    Quit Acrobat.
    Delete the following folders:
    Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLStore
    Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLCache
    And, delete all files from following folder except cache.db
    Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD
    Then launch Acrobat and try to activate with the serial number and check.

  • Can't Activate my Creative Cloud Subscription -- SERIOUS HELP NEEDED!!!

    For the past 3 weeks, I've been trying to activate my Creative Cloud subscription (placed my Creative Cloud order on 12/29/12).  Like others, it appears that I’m trapped in perpetual "trial mode" status.  When I try to activate my subscription -- I click the “register product” button…sign into my Adobe ID account…and receive a prompt to enter a serial number.  Every time.  I’ve litterally read every post/link/tutorial/troubleshooting selfhelp in this forum and on the Adobe FAQ pages - with great attention, might I add - but nothing seems to work.
    I've spent hours upon hours on the phone/live chat w/ Adobe reps trying to resolve this issue.  I've opened no less than 10 support cases.  EVERY SINGLE TIME that I try to activate my Creative Cloud membership, an Adobe rep feeds me the "I'll be sure to escalate this issue to the next level of support" line.  Likewise, Adobe support reps stated numerous times, that personnel from Adobe would contact me within 24 hours of my call to resolve the issue.  However, they’ve yet to follow through with this claim.  (Surprise)
    Adobe should be ashamed by the egregious performance of their "technical support team.”  If Adobe won't fix the software, which they've already charged me for, then they've left me w/ little choice but to cancel my order before the initial 30 day period is up.  Enough is enough.
    With that being said, Adobe, the following describes this dismal experience:
    I bought a subscription of Creative Cloud on 12/29/12 (somehow I ended up w/ the Multi Language edition of Creative Cloud- yes I've fiddled w/ the language settings in the app manager.  Doesn't work.)
    I received an order verification email from Adobe for my purchase, however, the order was never listed under the "my recent order" section of my Adobe ID
    Despite telling Adobe support that I only had one Adobe ID, they insisted that my order was showing up in their system, of which, was accessible by logging into my alternative Adobe ID (this didn’t exist because I only have one Adobe ID).
    Eventually, Adobe determined that a system error occurred on their side while processing the transaction, and fixed this initial issue.
    After this was resolved, I was able to login to my Adobe ID account and actually see my Creative Cloud membership order when viewing “my recent transactions.”
    After all of that, I'm facing my 2nd major issue w/ this program: the inability to activate my subscription.  As previously stated, I've tried everything to fix this issue.  I'm thinking that the initial problem w/ placing the order resulted in defective software.  Also, I’m not sure if this info is relevant, but I purchased the multiple language edition of Creative Cloud (somehow).  I live in the US, speak English, and am running OS X 10.8.2.
    Someone from Adobe, please look into this issue and help me.  I’ll be glad to provide any other relevant info that you may need.

    Had the exact same problem, just got it fixed. The solution is quite fast. Navigate to the hosts file. On a pc it's in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc folder, locate the file named 'Hosts' inside the etc folder. Open it with notepad. Delete everything underneath
    " # Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp. # # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows. # # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name. # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one # space. # # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol. # # For example: # # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host 127.0.0.1 localhost"
    Save. Open the application manager again, click "License this product" and sign in. It should work, now.

  • Can I transfer my Creative Cloud subscription to another Adobe account?

    Hello,
    How do I transfer my account to another email address that already has an Adobe account? We are a business and have a Creative Cloud subscription setup to a specific email address. We want to transfer this license to another employee as the existing one was laid off.  How do we go about doing this?
    Thanks!

    Hi JimmytheBullet,
    If you are a Creative Cloud for Team user then you can simply remove the user from Admin console and invite another to be the team member. If it is Creative Cloud individual subscription then I am sorry to say but you cannot transfer the account to another.
    regards,
    Abhijit

  • Creative cloud subscription problem

    I can install programs only as trials.
    Adobe app manager is showing try at almost all programs
    I have chated with some adobe reps but they could'nt solve the problem
    Any ideas?

    FLo67 if you choose the option to License this Software and enter your Adobe ID, tied to your Creative Cloud subscription, what happens?  You can find more details at http://forums.adobe.com/message/4592768#4592768?promoid=KBHJO.

  • Creative cloud subscription without internet access

    Would there be a way to get the creative cloud subscription for my work with out using the internet monthly by paying the year in full. My workstation is not online and can't be, it is part of a internal network.

    Hi there - the Creative Cloud FAQ states that you must have internet connection at least once a month:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html
    Do I need ongoing Internet access to use my Creative Suite applications?
    Because your Creative Suite applications are installed directly on your computer, you will not need an ongoing Internet connection to use them on a daily basis. However, you will need to be online when you install and license your software, and at least once every 30 days thereafter. The software will alert you when you need to connect to the Internet for a license status check.
    ...however, you may be able to call Customer Support to update your license status in person. I would try contacting customer service:
    800-833-6687 (M-F, 5am-7pm EST)
    or live chat.
    An alternative solution for this is to install one or more applications on a secondary computer that you use outside of the internal network, say, a personal laptop. Since the Creative Cloud license allows for use on two devices, you could complete the monthly license check via the applications on your secondary computer. Doing so would validate your whole memberhsip, and all devices/applications linked to it.
    Either way, I'd contact customer support just to be sure.
    Cheers! Good luck

  • I had been getting prompts to buy Acrobat XI Pro when I have a full Creative Cloud subscription

    I had been getting windows popping up when I would open a pdf file in Acrobat that I need to purchase it when I have been paying approximately $54 a month for Creative Cloud! I would just close out the window because I have a Creative Cloud subscription that covers Acrobat. Now I cannot even open a pdf file at all because I got the message that my trial period of Acrobat has run out!!!
    How can I fix this??

    Hi Chris,
    On the trial period screen of Acrobat, please select 'License this software' and use your Adobe ID to license it.
    The subscription is linked to your Adobe ID.
    Please let me know if it worked for you or not.

  • When I try to launch an adobe application I am prompted to renew my creative cloud subscription even though I'm paid up until the end of the year.

    When I try to launch an adobe application I am prompted to renew my creative cloud subscription... even though I'm pre-paid up until the end of the year. I can't use any of my applications at the moment.

    Another update: The one month free trial software is no longer working for me as a work-around.
    Also: I tried to open up my Adobe applications from two other machines that I have in the house, but it did not work. I received the same subscription renewal popup loop. This leads me to the conclusion that it is strictly an issue on the Adobe Licensing Server side, and NOT a localized issue with something wrong on my system.

  • Acrobat X Pro Creative Cloud Subscription Asking for Serial Number

    I have a monthly paid acrobat x pro creative cloud subscription, but it keeps asking me to license my software and input a serial number. The trial period is done, so I cannot use this software that I am paying for.

    Please refer to the following link to find your serial number .

  • I have a full creative cloud subscription, do I still have to pay for Forms Central?

    I have Acrobat XI as part of my Creative Cloud subscription, why or do I have to upgrade and pay for Forms Central too, this seems a bit harsh and greedy in my opinion. I am just a single user.

    Hi Chris,
    On the trial period screen of Acrobat, please select 'License this software' and use your Adobe ID to license it.
    The subscription is linked to your Adobe ID.

  • Trial period has expired for legit CS6 Creative Cloud subscription??

    Last night Adobe Application Manager upgraded itself.  All well and good.  It showed correctly what CS6 apps I had downloaded and installed previously.
    I am a CS6 Creative Cloud subscriber with nine months to go.
    Subsequently when I tried to start Dreamweaver or for that matter any other creative CS6 application, like Photoshop - I get the following error:
    Your trial period has expired!
    I have been using all installed Creative Cloude appd for the last 3-4 months with no problems!  Why this now??
    StellaC

    The creative cloud subscription is fine but the whole 'license expired' license this software, you have 5 days left of your trial or 'please enter your serial number' (what serial number for the cloud ??) that seems to pop up at alarming rate on both of my machines.
    As soon as I re-log on with my adobe id (which never seems to be logged in however many times I log in and say 'remember') it then 'activates' my subscription .. but never remembers by the afternoon!
    The whole thing is just not very slick. It is not very impressive that every two or three days I have to keep re-activating etc the subscription to the cloud, sometimes it takes quite a few run arounds with the logon before it finally says ... 'yes, you are activated / subscribed etc or whatever'.
    Surely with creative cloud, perhaps the applications could be re-written to realize that there is a creative cloud and that the person using the app is not requiring to buy the product or stop using the trial etc. I wonder is this happening all the time for all the users of the cloud ??
    I can understand the cloud / Adobe need to check that the person is running a legit version but it is not going to leave a good impression with all the users if dialogs pop up all the time with odd messages saying about trial versions or 4 days left of your trial.
    Just a simple dialog ... if a cloud member, 'please connect to the web to check activation etc'... and then allow the user to continue with the product.

  • Serial Number Required - Creative Cloud Subscription is Active!

    I am getting very frustrated! I just paid for a Creative Cloud subscription three days ago. I have the Adobe Application Manager on my computer and it is working smoothly for several programs. However, when I try to use Photoshop, it requires me to license the product. I sign in with my Creative Cloud subscriber email, and it asks for a serial number (which, of course, I don't have).
    I've seen lots of people posting about this problem, but no solution. Is Adobe addressing this? Photoshop was one of the main reasons that I got this subscription! I don't want to waste my money on a program I cannot use.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Lets try two more steps to fix the problem.
    First run the Adobe Cleaner Tool.
    You can download it from here http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html.
    In the drop-down in the top right select Creative Cloud and then highlight Creative Cloud Installer.
    Now click on the Cleanup selected button.
    Next install the Adobe Application Manager (AAM) for Mac.
    You can get it from here http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4774.
    Launch AAM and sign in with your Adobe ID.
    This is removing the Creative Cloud applet that AAM uses and then re-installing AAM. This does not affect the install of Photoshop and Illustrator.

  • URGENT!!! CS6 programs keep saying "trial expired" even though I have a Creative Cloud subscription.

    Hello,
    My CS6 programs keep saying that the trial edition is expired, even though I payed for my Creative Cloud subscription.
    I have a deadline tonight, and really REALLY need indesign to work!!!.
    Please help me!!
    I already tried the License Recoverer. Did not work, not even after a reboot and pressing 0...
    Arteau / Kezumi

    I'm having the SAME PROBLEM!!!
    I know for a FACT that it is NOT something on my system because it ONLY happens with InDesign… ALL of the rest of the software from Creative Cloud works PERFECTLY.
    I signed up for Adobe Creative Cloud on October 31, 2012 and I checked… my monthly payment was successfully made on Dec. 30th, so it SHOULD be up to date and working.… yet when I try to launch InDesign, instead of opening, I get a window that says,
    "Your Trial Has Expired… Become a member…, etc".
    My only choices from the Application Manager at this point, are to select the "Join Now" button… (Even though I've already joined)… OR I can select the "License This Software" button… WHICH I've already done SEVERAL TIMES previously. But if I do select this button, it APPEARS to Activate my Subscription… AGAIN.
    At this point, after I select the "Close" button from the "SUBSCRIPTION ACTIVATED" window… I get ANOTHER window, saying that I have 0 days remaining to use the InDesign Trial software, giving me the option to BUY NOW, and there is also a button to "Start Trial" or another "License This Software" button…
    If I select the "License This Software" button… it will once again APPEAR to Activate my Subscription… AGAIN. But then it once again gives me this same window again… starting the WHOLE process over and over and over again.
    I tried running the update to InDesign, to see if this would resolve the problem… but it STILL gave me these SAME annoying windows over and over and over. I un-Installed InDesign and downloaded it again but it still does the SAME THING OVER AND OVER.
    I've downloaded and used Photoshop, Illustrator, Muse, and Dreamweaver from Creative Cloud… some were downloaded BEFORE I downloaded InDesign and some were downloaded after I had the trouble with InDesign but NONE of the other software gives me this problem. It's ONLY with InDesign.
    PLEASE HELP!!! I have a big job due and all of the work that I've already completed on this project was done with the so-called "Trial" version and I can't even open the file with my old version of InDesign. So I'm STUCK without it… It worked GREAT until this "TRIAL" period ran out… I subscribed  before I ever downloaded ANY of the Creative Cloud software, so I don't know why it was EVER consisdered a TRIAL to start with.
    Thanks for any help you can give!
