hi,
i have my OS (macOS) installed on an external thunderbolt drive.
(almost) daily i use this drive on my imac at home and later the day
on my imac in the office.
so in fact, i am using the CC apps on (physically) two different computers,
but just on one drive with the OS. shouldn't be a problem related to the
license rules of Adobe CC.
this works, but everytime i start an app on the other imac, i have
to login to the adobe account again. e.g. if i do home office a couple of days
and do not switch the imac, everything is perfect, but i f i "switch" to the
other imac, the login is necessary again.
i deal with this necessity since i am a CC customer, but i do not understand,
why it is not possible just to "store" the login info (maybe the computers
hardware ID?) of both of the imacs on the OS/drive.
it would be soooo cool, if the CC devs could change this.

additional info:
- currently i am in the office and i started photoshop and i prompted to connect/login to the account
- so i did and in my account "manager" both computers are lists - as i would expect it
but if i am at home in the evening, i would prompted again to connect/login, if i would start an adobe CC app.
see my attached screenshot.
.thanks

if computer hardware changes, you're using a different computer. the cc programs and desktop app should detect that and request a sign-in whenever your computer changes.
that's expected behavior and unless adobe decides to give its software away free, that will never change.

Hi,
in fact, i am allowed to use Adobe CC on two different computers with their own OS on their internal drives. And i will NOT be prompted to login every time i switch workin further on the other computer.
i have two computers too, just with the difference to start the same OS from an external drive. But in my usecase i am prompted to login all the time.
In my opinion this is just a technical problem. In fact, all the time just two computers are listed in my device manager. But i have to login again and again and again.
