I have my personal Creative Cloud subscription and I am using it at home on my desktop PC. I also have a laptop that formally belongs to the company I work for but I also use this laptop for my personal purposes for convenience. The question: can I legally use my personal CC subscription on a company's laptop? The subscription allows to use it on two devices, but legally the company does not own any CC subscription, but it does not need it as it's business is not related to photo editing.
Adobe does not control/dictate what machines you can install their products on. Whether or not you can install/use non-company provided software on a company machine is determined by the rules of your company. For the most part, I believe, companies do not allow it for legal reasons of their own (protecting what's theirs).
Thanks Ned. It's OK from my company's perspective, I can install any software on my laptop, as long as it is considered legal usage and won't cause problems in case of inspection.
Then you should be good to go - though I don't know what you mean by "problems in case of inspection". Adobe won't be inspecting the machine - they will just be checking to make sure your subscription is still valid.
I had my creative suite installed on my older work machine for awhile, until they gave me a new one. Before I handed in the old one I made sure I deactivated it so I can install again elsewhere should I decide to.
