Adobe, please raise a floating license scheme

I write this post because the current authorisation system for creative cloud is problematic for me and probably for others in my situation. I hope that, following this post, Adobe will consider more flexible options for the software CC license.

I've been using Adobe products for over 20 years and I have invested a lot of time perfecting my skills and Evangelical zeal in promoting Adobe products. At this point, I would say I am an expert on many of your pieces of software.

When CC was announced, I went with the new regime to ensure the stability of your income by making your sales more predictable. However, for me this has been created by a small studio running, heavy loads. To be precise, I am an Illustrator/animator solo and as such, I run a lot of software 3D and special effects that often require the power of multiple machines to render images or calculate simulations of complex effects. I use four, three desktop machines and laptop computers. In my work, I am constantly bounce autour between three machines that often are buzzing away on their own, rendering frames or calculation of flows of fluids, etc. (my ghost employees), when you are free I will propose this one for creative work, often using one or more of your products (my go - for Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator products each with a gazillion plugins) , First, After Effects, and InDesign. This is where the authorisation scheme that currently exists is problematic: I feel constantly activate and disable machines so I can switch between them. To say the least, it is a royal pain.

What I would say to the creations in small studios like mine, it's that we are allowed to add more machines to the pool under license. In other words, I don't mean to run creative software cloud simultaneously on several machines, but have rather more machines available to select when you run an application. Other software I use has what is called a floating license option, but allows me to use one copy of the software at the same time on a single machine, you s to me which machine is used. Such a scenario makes much more sense for smaller studios like mine, and I don't know that I'm not alone to deal with this problem. I realize that if extrapolate you what I mean too far, things could get out of control, and it might deform your turnover, so it would make sense to charge a top small-supplement to the licensee to increase the number of machines available - perhaps with an upper limit of the machines also licensed as well.

Currently, my only option is to double my monthly subscription to $100 spending, which is $ 600 per year just to have greater convenience, (oh and a second Adobe ID with another email address just to make things more complicated.)

Please seriously consider changing your strategies in this regard, since it is a real thorn in my (and I'm sure as the other) side.

Please you feather the suggestion here: feature request/Bug Report Form

Thanks for your suggestions, we will do the team know about it.

Concerning

Stéphane
