Activation:

Adobe enforces the use of personal user IDs to activate the software. If you do not wish to do so, you can no longer use the products and must use alternative products (a list of possible alternatives to Adobe products can be found on the Leibniz Computing Center website).

Otherwise, an individual user account ("Adobe Federated ID") will be created for you when you complete your order. For further information, please refer to the data protection information in the online-software shop and the installation instructions.

An Adobe Federated ID is also required to use shared-device-licenses. If you want to use the Adobe products on a licensed device, you can order the free article "Use of shared-device-license" in the online-software shop.
