How to choose the right Creative Cloud software
Creative Cloud products are licenced as either a Named-User Licence or Shared Device Licence.
What is a named-user licence?
A named-user license provides a VIP membership to an individual user. This option is great for a small workgroup or department.
Each named-user license includes two one-on-one, 30-minute Adobe Expert Services sessions per year and comes with the ability to install a second copy for the same person on a personally owned device as long as it is not used simultaneously (known as 'work-at-home rights').
Creative Cloud online services are included.
What is a shared device license?
A shared device license is an education-only licensing option for classrooms, labs, and training environments that allows more than one person to use the same software application on a single computer.
This offering includes a complete set of Adobe Creative Cloud software or a single application option.
Creative Cloud online services are not included.
