Renewing Creative Cloud for teams, but cancelling some of the seats

Hi all,
When our CC for Teams renewal comes up in December, I want to go ahead with it, but also reduce the number of seats we have, and also change a couple of full subscriptions to single apps only. Has anyone done this sort of thing, and how did it go?
I just had a chat with an Adobe representative who made it all sound very simple, but based on past experience I can't deny that I have some misgivings. Hopefully the community here can give me a reality check! As many others have mentioned, there's no way to manage your renewal in the account settings, so the whole process is opaque to say the least.
My questions are:
1. Can I renew, but cancel some seats at the same time? Or will I end up having to cancel the whole account and start all over again?
2. If we can cancel a few seats, but keep the account open, will we keep our promotional pricing on the remainder?
3. I gather that when you use CC for teams, single application subscriptions can only be bought through a reseller. Is it possible to then integrate these into an existing CC for teams account?
Thanks everyone. Any help or insights much appreciated!

Here are the replies to your queries:
1. Can I renew, but cancel some seats at the same time? Or will I end up having to cancel the whole account and start all over again?
You can cancel the seats as the number of seats can be altered, you do not need to cancel the whole account.
2. If we can cancel a few seats, but keep the account open, will we keep our promotional pricing on the remainder?
If it is within the lock in price then you shall be able to get the promotional price, it needs to confirmed by the reseller or the team renewing it other wise the price at the time of renewal is at the prevalent price.
3. I gather that when you use CC for teams, single application subscriptions can only be bought through a reseller. Is it possible to then integrate these into an existing CC for teams account?
At this point of time, complete CC team & Single app CC team can not be amalgamated.

Creative cloud applications won't open on additional machine - iMac 10.9.4 - Creative cloud for teams - a work colleague has the same issue on his home machine. Applications work fine at work.

These problems are happening on my iMac at home. I can log into Creative Cloud no problem, however as soon as I try and open an application, whether it's an old version or CC 2014, Adobe Application Manager opens and tells me that membership has expired and prompts me to 'try again'. Clicking this button results in a new pop up that thanks me and tells me that my subscription is now active. However as soon as I click 'continue' the process begins again, the application closes, a pop tells me that membership has expired etc.
I can login and view my Creative cloud for teams account online and everything seems to be in order and the applications open without incident at work, another colleague at my work has the same problem with his CC applications at home.
I've tried uninstalling and the installing all of the applications and CC several times, run all updates etc.
Is this an issue the the Terms and Conditions for CC2014, are we no longer allowed to run applications on 2 machines?
Is there a bug with the latex version of CC? This problems has only recently occurred.
I should add that I've read some of the other posts about login loops and I've tried deleting the opm.db file, it didn't work.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
Regards
Pete

There doesn't seem to be an uninstaller for CS3, and I've tried the CC Cleaner tool several times. It doesn't work and it is not correctly documented anywhere. For example, there is no log file at "/Users/[user name]/Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.log" as one of the Adobe pages states. For example, there is no log file at "/Users/[user name]/Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.log" so I can't find any success or error states of the tool.
There is a log file at "/Users/[me]/Library/Logs/ACC.log." Would there be anything in there that could shine light on install issues vs. uninstall issues?
Regardless, running Cleaner and then attempting to install ACC repeatedly leads to the error "Creative Cloud quit unexpectedly" upon launching it or rebooting (which launches it automatically). I've been trying various things for weeks to no avail yet.

Sign up for Creative Cloud for Team but users are then asked to try a free trial

I Have set up a Creative Cloud Team account and invited two users. They have followed the email instructions and have then been ask to enter a free trial. Do they go ahead and do this even though I have made payment? Is a months free period included?

I don't work for Adobe, but until a staff member comes along, the links below MAY help

Creative Cloud for Teams... where to find infos?

we use a volume license at work for CS6 Master Collection and we need special packages for deployment.
where can i find infos about CC for teams (or whatever the name is)?
is the licensing still done via files for CC or do we need a internet connection to activate the software?
at least there must be a way to download all CC apps at once and install them or create a deployment package?

Hi hamada2003,
Sorry for not responding earlier. Have you checked out the Creative Cloud for Teams FAQ? Here is the link: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html#cc-teams
You do need an internet connection for authenticating once every 99 days with "Teams". It's been announced that there is going to be a way for IT to package and deploy packages to users' workstations, but that's not available quite yet.
Hope that helps,
Kevin

Sharing files with Creative cloud for teams

HI,
I am looking at getting creative cloud for teams, but I want to keep our existing CS suite users who are already on maintenance plans.
Can I share files on the creative cloud between these two types of users?
Does Adobe Bridge see these files ?
Is there any way of doing version control ?
We are also worried about this
"If a team member leaves the company, what happens to their files stored in Creative Cloud?
The IP is associated with the individual, not the company. The individual will have a 90-day grace period to delete their files."
Also we are in Australia and we are concerned about the speed. Can anyone advise what the speed is like ?
rgds Renovator

Anyone who signs up for the Creative Cloud can share files. You do not need to be a Creative Cloud member to view a shared file, only to do the sharing.
Adobe Bridge does not see the files unless you use Creative Cloud Connection to sync the files to your local computer.
There is no version control yet. It is on our road map.
Being in Australia should not be an issue, but I will let other customers from Australia comment.

Creative Cloud for Teams - lost access

I'm the account manager for Creative Cloud for Teams, but my account is now showing that I just have a free trial. The other member of my team has full access still but no admin rights. How do I correct?

Hi MtechTown,
If you wish to use the Adobe products with your Adobe ID then you need to send an invitation to yourself and accept the same. After the KInvitation is accepted you can activate your subscription.
Please let us know if it helps.

Why is the complete plan for individuals more expansive than the Creative Cloud for teams?

Both plans give me access to all Adobe programs, right?

The creative Cloud for team price is 69.99$ per seat per month, the price available now is an offer Cloud technology | Adobe Creative Cloud for small & medium business
How ever you can choose plan as per your convenience Creative Cloud pricing and membership plans | Adobe Creative Cloud

Creative Cloud for teams stuck in a loop asking to renew subscription (Windows 7 64 Bit)

Good Morning
I have two of my creative cloud users who are being constantly asked to renew the subscription everytime they open one of Adobe's applications. THe subscription is currently active as we paid for the full year and it doesn't expire until March 6th 2015.
I have tried deleting the file from the OOBE folder with no success, I have tried uninviting and then re-inviting the user to creative cloud, I have tried inviting a brand new user and logging in with their details, no joy.
The only thing that works is to login with a trial user account just so we can use the software.
Any suggestions please, Adobe fix your 'Expert 1:1 Support page' it doesn't even load!
Regards
Mark

Creative Cloud for Teams (Non-Profit) Renewal Loop

Every time I open any Creative Cloud app I get this window:
When I click "Try Again" I get this window:
When I click "Continue" I get the previous window (above) again.
If I click on "Have a different Adobe ID?" and input my password via that window it will open the program and everything works fine. However, this loop occurs any time I open an Adobe CC app. Doesn't matter if I have already gone through this procedure on the same program. Once I close the program and reopen I am given these same pop up Renewal notices.
I have gone through and performed the opm.db file removal. I have signed out and signed back into the CC desktop client. I have done the manual AAM update linked on other threads here. I have also upgraded (just this morning) to the latest CC desktop version. The problem still persists.
NOTES:
I have a Creative Cloud for Teams subscription (Non-Profit) purchased through CDW. I have verified that my subscription is in good standing. Though the subscription is nearing its renewal date when i inquired about renewal the representative said that at this time they (Adobe) are still working on procedures and pricing for renewal.
Running on a Mac Pro early 2009 2 X 2.26 Quad Core Xeon with 16GB RAM and NVIDIA Quadro 4000. I am also experiencing the same issue with my MacbookPro Retina Core i7 with 16GB RAM. Both systems are running the lastest Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
Any help in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated!

Licensing and costs for Creative Cloud for teams on small company

Hello,
I have a few questions regarding the teams solution. They are:
1- Is the license by user or by computer?
2- What is the actual cost of Creative Cloud for Teams ( small companies with less than 100 employees). In some sections it states monthly cost of 69,99€ while others state 49,99€.
3- Assuming the monthly cost of 69,99€ does this cost covers all products listed ( ilustrator, photoshop, dreamweaver, premiere,...) for a single user or is that the cost per user and per product?
4- How long do I have to keep the contract? Only 1 year? If I want to cancel when should I communicate? or I just need to set on the console 0 users?
5 - Assuming I have only one creative user can the admin console be installed in a different machine (e.g. network admin) without the need of an extra license?
6 - If I acquire 1 license and decide to drop it 1 year and 1 month after will I pay 1 year plus that month or do I need to pay the 2 years?
Thanks for your feedback,
Regards,
Pedro

Creative Cloud for Teams (Any Hidden Cost?)

Regarding the CC Team Subscription please clarify the following;
(1) Are there a certain number of seats allotted to the team subscription and if so how many?
(2) For a company with 6 to 8 employees who need to use various products from the Master Suite, is their an extra cost for each employee or seat?
Please clarify as soon as possible as our company is very interested in subscribing but we need further clarity on this particular matter.
Regards
S. Phillips

http://www.adobe.com/au/products/creativecloud/faq.html#ccm-teams
(1) Are there a certain number of seats allotted to the team subscription and if so how many?
No, you pay per seat. Minimum one seat, maximum is however many you want to pay for.
"How much does Creative Cloud for teams cost?
Creative Cloud for teams is US$69.99 per user per month (with an annual commitment). Existing CS3 and later customers who have previously purchased Creative Suite software through a volume licensing program are eligible to buy at the special price of US$49.99 per user per month."
(2) For a company with 6 to 8 employees who need to use various products from the Master Suite, is their an extra cost for each employee or seat?
Same cost per user per month regardless of whether they use 1 app, some apps or all apps.
You pay $69.99 for each seat per month. You can add, delete or reassign seats from the Admin console as required.
6 seats x $69.99 per month = $419.94 per month
8 seats x $69.99 per month = $559.92 per month

Creative Cloud for Teams and Single Apps

Dear Adobe,
I am an IT manager with a company that had 29 licenses of CS6, we now have Creative Cloud for teams, which is great.
However, Part of my company (the accounts side of things) only need Adobe Acrobat.
Why... WHY? Can't I have 30 single app licenses for these users under the same account? I got a call from your offshore licensing group and the woman who I talked to didn't seem to understand what I need.
I need the ability to give the entire creative cloud to some of my users.
but for the rest, I need to be able to only roll out Acrobat...
Thanks for the help

I am in the same situation. I do the design work for my clients they look at and markup PDF files. They have their own software. To add them to the team cost me $70.00 a month, 22 of them would cost a lot of money.
After setting up the first system Adobe took away file syncing the day after we had it setup. And team members were not able to see one another's files. Asking for a refund they transfer us to the special billing department for teams, then the line goes dead. I am guessing that my request for refunds is falling on deaf ears.
Our solution was to acquire our own Cloud hosting server $299.00 a year and $22,000 (there are cheaper) for the Cloud Server. We will have save the Adobe solution costs within the first year.

Creative Cloud for Teams - second computer will only install as trial version

Hi there
My company purchased Creative Cloud for Teams. I use a Mac at work and have installed it without any problems there. However at home i use a PC (Windows 7) and i have tried several times to sign into my Creative Cloud account and download programs so i can work at home but each time it will only load the programs as trial versions.
I have tried several troubleshooting options with no luck:
Clicked sign in on the trial window - but it just asks me for a serial number which i obviously dont have.
I asked my work IT dept to delete and resend my seat invitation which they did but it didnt fix the issue.
I asked my work IT dept to check with the reseller we bought Creative Cloud for Teams from whether there were any restrictions or settings which wont allow to install on a second computer but they said it should be fine.
My team mates at work have installed it on their home Macs without a problem, it seems to be only a PC issue.
I have had CS6 on my computer previously but uninstalled it all in case this was causing the conflict - but it didnt fix the CC issue.
I have uninstalled and used the Adobe Cleaner tool, then reinstalled but this didnt work - the trial days still kept counting down.
I uninstalled again, used a Registery cleaning tool (cleaned registery, temp files, browser temp files etc), used the Adobe Cleaner tool (just to make it extra clean), and removed all traces of Adobe from my machine. I reinstalled Creative Cloud Application manager, installed Acrobat to try it out. This time the trial days have gone back to 30 (rather than zero). I clicked on the "sign in" button, it signs me in but still asks for a serial number.
I tried contacting Adobe via the chat channel but was told after some time that i would need to speak to Tech Support. My dealings with Adobe Tech Support in the past haven't been the most fruitful, so i thought i would ask the forum as my last desperate attempt to solve this problem.
Any and all suggestions welcome.
Thanks!

How do I move an existing "one-year license" to my "Creative Cloud for teams" license

I currently have two regular one-year licenses which I would like to consolidate in my new Creative Cloud for teams license. The teams license has 1 license, but I'd like to add the two regular licenses, so that I will have 3 team licenses.
Is there any way I can consolidate licenses? Right now I have two regular licenses and a team license under one single account.
Thanks for the advice and help.

Is there any way I can consolidate licenses?
Not to my knowledge. One way is to cancel (and attempt to get a prorated refund for) the individual CC subscription and apply that money to a CCT one.
