Adobe person vs Business license for 1 person

I received a call from Adobe today trying to convince me that I'm on the wrong license for my creative cloud subscription. As typical fashion, the person who called me was less than stellar in the English language, so communication was a bit of a challenge.

That person who called claimed to be a license check and think I should use a license instead of an individual license. Personally, I feel like this is a cash grab and I wouldn't hard telling him that if Adobe would try to change my license I must find alternative software as the pricing of business just doesn't make sense for me.

So, to keep things fair, I'll explain my current situation we hope to get an overview on whether I should be switching licenses or not as everything I read indicates that I do nothing wrong.

I am a small business owner where the only staff is my wife and myself. My business is software consulting where I write software to different hospitals around the United States and the Canada. I am the only person who uses my CC license and I use it for the following purposes:

  • I create PDFs with Acrobat (usually, conversion of Word documents or signing of documents)
  • Sometimes, I use Photoshop to edit the screenshots of applications to send to a client. These are basic things like adding labels and arrows.
  • I use Dreamweaver from time to time to test different web programming techniques or working on my business website.
  • I use some of the Adobe video software to splice videos of my kids and add some special effects of pleasure.

So my question and concerns are, if I should use the operating license to all work linked in Adobe products, what is the single license that clearly, it would be a very expensive toy?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. This call from Adobe today got angry enough over the past 12 years spent more $7 000 on these products and I like the tools I'm not prepared to be watered more like this.

Thank you

John

Don't sweat the little things.  Ignore the call and proceed as you did.

  • DPS for B2B Apple Store business license

    Hey everybody,

    We have developed an application and successfully tested on our iPads via DPS. Our goal is to distribute the application via the B2B from Apple store and the tutorial PDF from Adobe told me to a 'business' license for DPS.

    Our company uses Adobe Creative cloud and I'm wondering now if it means already we have licensed "business" for DPS, as well?

  • Adobe CC single license for business use

    Hi guys,.

    The reason why this was brought to my attention, is that earlier, representatives of the two companies here in Singapore told me that it is illegal to use a single license for businesses.

    I don't speak on behalf of the companies, but one of them is a reseller of Adobe software and other applications "authorized to communicate with your company/institution name of Adobe with respect to the right of the software & legalization of accompaniment in Singapore."

    I saw a few posts in the forums which is not really answering the question:

    "Individual licenses can be used for businesses?

    I just had a live chat with adobe, our conversation, I am convinced that it is legal to use an individual for a professional use license.

    Screenshot attached the live chat and the two screenshots I sent to the course on chat session to make sure that we are on the same page when we are referring to 'individual licence' and ' operating '. Please ignore the part that I talked about Denave Pte Ltd. This is a topic for another post.

    So, in short. Can we get some official clarifications on this question (s)?

    In short, if you are an individual who has purchased an individual CC, you can use it for your business as a photographer, only you can connect with the registered Adobeid & use it.

    If you have a team of 2 to 3 people, it is preferable to use CC for the team.

  • Using an Image from Adobe Stock on the Standard license for a showcase.

    Hello

    I am currently working on my first design of shop window and I'm eager to confirm whether if I use an Image from Adobe Stock on a standard for this license? As far as I can see after reading the terms and conditions, I am able to. However, I don't want to confirm it for obvious reasons.

    See you soon,.

    Jasmine.

    Hi Jasmine

    The Standard license allows you to use the image for a marketing presentation, promotional or internal or the purposes of decoration, so it should be good providing you comply with the license terms and restrictions.

  • Adobe CS4 "a license for this product has stopped working" (error 6)

    Help, please! I used the Migration Assistant to transfer all my Time Machine backup to my new MacBook Pro. When I try to open Photoshop or InDesign (CS4), it tells me that "a license for this product has stopped working". The box suggests a reboot of the computer (which doesn't) and helpfully gives me 'error 6'. (He was 150:30 of the error, but since I tried almost everything listed here ( error: 'License has stopped working' |)) Mac OS ) he has changed in error 6) She also gave me a chance once to enter my serial number, I did, only to be informed that it was not valid.

    I have disabled the software Adobe CS4 on my old MacBook. The only thing I can think that I have not tried is uninstalling software and re - install, but this MacBook Pro does not come with a disk drive, so I can't install the software of my drive.

    I lost three days on it, and I have a looming deadline... so I really hope you have a solution for me!
