Using 1 Adobe ID on multiple computers-willing to use 2 license seats

I regularly use 3 different computers: work, home, and laptop. I know that I can play the deactivate/reactivate juggling game to keep only 2 of the 3 active at any time, but that is a major headache (especially if I am on the road with my laptop and have not thought to deactivate one of my other two).
Yes, I realize that the license agreement limits only 2 active at a time, but I am willing to use a second license seat from my CC team management to activate the third. My problem, though, is that I need them all to use the same Adobe ID, because I share the cloud files between the 3 computers, and I also rely on my workspace settings, and other little account-related things. As a result, even though I am willing to use a second license to accomplish this, I am not willing to use a second Adobe ID. This should not be necessary—even with the new unusually restrictive licensing scheme—if I am willing to pay for the second license!
Being that this is an ongoing, paid, subscription-based, so-called "CLOUD" product (implying access from anywhere), it would be a bit silly and backward to then limit the "cloud" access to only two places. That wouldn't be much of a "cloud" (imagine if Dropbox or Salesforce—or any other subscription-based cloud service—only let you log in from 2 places!).
So, please tell me how I can accomplish this—or else how I can accomplish sharing cloud files and settings between my 3 computers. Again, additional licenses/costs is not a problem. I just want to be able to work–and SHARE—between 3 computers.

Your catalog, presets, previews remain intact during an uninstall. Don't see why that would happen.
BTW, if you want to reach Adobe with your concern, this is a User-User forum. The correct place is here: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/products/photoshop_family_photoshop_lightro om

Is it possible to use Adobe Illustrator in multiple computers with the same account?

Hi guys,
So our company is a small designing tile company,
we wanted to purchase the Adobe Illustrator and was wondering if it was possible to use it in multiple computers with one account, as we have two computers that are frequently use for designing, or do we have to buy two separated Adobes Illustrators for each computer?
Thanks

From the End User License Agreement (EULA):
2.1.3 Portable or Home Computer Use. Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 2.1.4, the primary user of the Computer on which the Software is installed under Section 2.1 (“Primary User”) may install a second copy of the Software for his or her exclusive use on either a portable Computer or a Computer located at his or her home, provided that the Software on the portable or home Computer is not used at the same time as the Software on the primary Computer.
So, while it CAN be installed on more than one computer, they may not both be in use at the same time.

I would like to use Adobe Lightoom on multiple computers. Must I buy the software for each computer?

Everything said is in title.
Thank you!

A single Lightroom license entitles you to install the program on two computers, Windows or Mac or both. But it is for your own personal use only, not for multiple users. If you want to install on multiple computers for multiple users then you need a license for each computer and user.

Not going to happen the way you want it to.
When you add a gift card balance to the Apple ID, it's available for the Apple ID.
Probably best to create unique Apple ID's for each... this will also make things easier in the future as purchases are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with.

Can I use Adobe CC in two computers?

Can I use Adobe CC in two computers?

You can have working installations on two computers but can only be using one of them at a time.

If multiple users will be using the same iPad, how can I lock it so the settings cannot be changed, specifically the languages(students are changing the languages)?

If multiple users will be using the same iPad, how can I lock it so the settings cannot be changed, specifically the languages(students are changing the languages)?

Even with Apple Configurator most of the settings cannot be locked, and that includes the language settings. Most schools and organizations seem to just accept that they'll have to reconfigure the iPads on a regular basis.

HT4972 how do I tell the ipod which computer I normally use? All of the computers i normally use to sync with tell me to use the computer I normally sync with?

how do I tell the ipod which computer I normally use? All of the computers i normally use to sync with tell me to use the computer I normally sync with?

Then those are not the syncing computers. You can manage music among different computers.
What computer did you setup your iPod on and do updates on/?That is usually the syncing computer.

Using creative cloud on multiple computers

Hi There,
Basically I have a computer at home that I can use as a backup computer when I need to work from home and also to practice using the software. If I was to accidently leave open photoshop will it lock me out of my work computer even though I am not using it on my home computer?
Would have to go back and exit all the software?
Thanks

Using one library for multiple computers and accounts (not store accounts)

Okay, we currently have four macs in the house. One was recently bought: i7 iMac (late 2009), another is dying: (mid 2005 iMac), another is going somewhere else: (late 2006 iMac) and another is a laptop: C2D MBP (late 2008). We might add another computer into the mix some time later.
Anyway, what I want to do is have one iTunes library which all of the computers can access (even guest's/friend's computers). We have a Time Capsule, and as I have heard one can make the TC the HDD for the iTunes library, I thought it best for it to be there.
The only thing is, how can each computer (and the possible multiple accounts) each access the same library, without duplicating and messing anything up? Is that possible? If it is too hard for multiple computers to do this, I would still want the (late 2009) iMac to be able to use the same library for the two accounts on it.
Thanks.

Make sure everything you want to share is on the centralized drive (music, video, and books, but if any of you have mobile devices, keep the apps on your local drive). Mount the drive on your computer. (Remember, from now on you must do this before starting iTunes.) If iTunes isn't running, start it now.
At the moment iTunes thinks the library is on the local computer and has all the music on it so that has to be changed. Click on Music in the left window pane, select all, and delete. This deletes all the music from the library and, if you choose, from the computer too. (Until you are sure this set-up is to your liking, don't delete the music from the drive.) Now go to Preferences and select the Advanced tab. Set iTunes to look at the music folder on your shared drive. And finally, select File>Add to Library to repopulate your iTunes library. This could take a while if you have a large music collection.
Since you changed the music location, anything that is added to one person's library will be saved onto the shared drive so it isn't too much of a hassle to manually add music. You'll have to rebuild playlists which is a minor hassle but it’s a one time deal.

Using my ipod with multiple computers: not the usual problem I think

I've searched the forum and various help documents but I couldn't find the answer to this.
I have a laptop at the office (work-related, so I don't have any of my music on it, just itunes) and my computer at home. Ideally I'd like to:
= keep my ipod automatically synced to my home computer
= be able to connect my ipod to my work laptop and play the music stored on it through itunes there, and also keep it charged and ready for the trip home.
It seems that the 'manually manage music and videos' setting travels with the ipod, rather than being stored on the computer's itunes installation. If I set it at work, so I can play music there, when I connect the ipod at home I have to reset it (and a few times when I did so the ipod started deleting everything because 'sync my music' was not checked, grrr).
I just want to set things up in a way so that when I connect my ipod at work it will let me play whatever songs I have there (without wanting to sync anything), and when I connect it at home it will automatically update it. It's simple enough, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it.
If I connect the ipod at work and press 'cancel' when the 'do you want to erase things' pops up, it doesn't try to change the settings, but at the same time it doesn't let me play music at all, everything is greyed out
does anybody have any idea? I don't want to resort to have to buy a usb power adapter just so that I can play my ipod at work without draining the battery...

i doubt it.
actually, syncing an iPod Touch (or iPhone) with multiple computers is not recommended @ all. click here to find out what Apple has to say about it.
all i can think of, i you really must do that, is this:
to prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod - hold down the option and the command ( on a PC that would be the shift and ctrl ) keys when plugging in the ipod - keep pressing the keys until the iPod is listed under the devices list in iTunes. now you should be able to do what you want.
however, you do so @ your own peril, as the article above outlined.
alternatively, consider a setup such as this.
good luck !

Using Aperture Library from Multiple Computers

My Aperture library is on an external drive and I have used multiple computers to add files to the library. Unfortunately when I use a different computer than the origin it tells me that the masters are unavailable and I cannot use the image. It tells me they are offline . Any fixes?

If you put the library entirely on the external drive then no, you won't be able to view previews when the hard drive is disconnected.
To do that, and share edits with your brother, you'll need to import and export projects. It might be possible to use referenced images, and import or export the project without consolidating masters first, if your masters are on the external drive. I think you'll just need to do some testing, and have a read of 'bagelturf's pages about how the library is organised, and how referenced images work.
