Trying to consolidate all old CS licenses into one account, then upgrade all to Creative Cloud?

Hey guys.

 

I work at a small ad agency that has haphazardly purchased 10 or so CS licenses (ranging from CS3 to CS5.5) over the past few years. Different people purchased them and probably under different accounts. It's quite a mess.

 

Essentially all we have is the Software, their boxes and manuals and licenses, and that's it.

 

What we want to do is find a way to consolidate all of these licenses into my account (I double as the IT guy and came on before they purchased licenses so I wasn't around to prevent this mess from happening).

 

Then we want to be able to upgrade all of these at one time to Creative Cloud.

 

Is there a way to do this?

    Hi Kilowattson,

     

    The current Creative Cloud Membership plans are for individuals versus companies. One can only have one subscription per Adobe ID. Adobe is preparing a subscription offering for companies to allow multiple users all under the same Adobe ID, this will be called Creative Cloud Team which will be available in later 2012. Currently however, one can purchase a transitional product called Team Ready which is a volume license to Master Collection CS6 along with additional licensing for Muse and Lightroom. Team Ready is available through Adobe authorized resellers and Team Ready customers will be able to easily migrate to Creative Cloud Team once available.

     

    The current promo offer for Creative Cloud is one per customer and per Adobe ID.

     

    Adobe customer service could consolidate all your licenses under a single ID but that wouldn't really be required here.

     

    This link has more info about the Team Ready offer:

    This link can help someone find a reseller in NA. You would want to contact one to get a quote if this sounded like something you would be interested in.

    Hope that helps,
