Fast user switching on a Mac and Creative Cloud

I habe a CC subscription which I use on a Mac with my main user account.

For presentations I like to switch to a different user account on the same computer but then I cannot work with the CC apps - in the best case, it starts them as a demo version, in the worst case (if I didn't quit the app on my main account), it destroys my license information, so that I have to reboot / log off and on again several times on my main user account to get the software working again.

Is there a way to make this work?

One would be to set things up so that you do not switch user accounts.  What is it about the second user account that you cannot achieve the same with the main?

I could present on my normal work account, but it's easier for me to switch to a different presentation account which has a clean desktop without files, a minimal dock, a presentation ready wallpaper, no notifications and so on. I could achieve all that on my normal account (change the wallpaper, unclutter the desktop and the dock and so on, turn on do not disturb / log out of everything), but it's bothersome.
