Institutions may purchase named-user licenses for individual faculty, staff, or students. Named-User licenses enable users to work at home and on campus with up to two deployments per license. Institutions purchasing 100 or more Creative Cloud All Apps licenses for their students may purchase Student License Pack (SLP) licenses, enabling students to work on and off campus. SLP includes desktop and mobile apps, as well as services.

Institutions may purchase shared device licenses to give students and faculty the flexibility to access Adobe products in shared environments like labs, libraries, and classrooms. With these licenses, users can access the latest versions of Creative Cloud apps and services on entitled machines. Also, users with individual paid subscriptions can log into machines entitled with shared device licenses to access their profiles as well as their saved work.

To use shared device licenses, students and faculty in shared environments can simply log in with an ID (Federated or Enterprise) and password provisioned by the school, or they can log in using a free Adobe ID that they create on Adobe.com. Shared-device licenses are available through Value Incentive Plan purchasing options.

Legacy options for device licensing are available for renewal on a case-by-case basis only by Members currently using device licenses. Creative Cloud 2018 (first released in October 2017) is the last version of Creative Cloud available via device licenses. To receive the latest version of Creative Cloud, a Member may self-service migrate to a shared device license Product anytime during their VIP Subscription Term for no additional license fees. Shared device licenses support the latest versions of Creative Cloud.
