Learn about the products that your organization has purchased as part of the enterprise or teams agreement with Adobe.

Get started with the products purchased by your organization, go to the Products page in the Adobe Admin Console.

Your organization (teams or enterprise) purchases products as part of an agreement with Adobe. You can use these products to assign Adobe apps and services to your users.

App or service-based products also specify the number of licenses purchased for that product. This indicates the numbers of users licensed to use the apps and services included in that product. Experience Cloud solutions specify the number of users of that product. This indicates the numbers of users licensed to use that solution.

Note:

Assign products to users

How you use the products purchased by your organization, depends on:

Type of agreement or licensing methods

  • Teams customers: Add teams users to the product plan to assign licenses to the users. Read details.
  • Named User Licensing (enterprise) customers: Create a product profile for this product and then add users to that product profile. Read details.
  • Shared User Licensing (education) customers: Create a shared device license profile for this product and then add users to that product profile. Read details.

Type of product

Assign Users: Products such as Creative Cloud All Apps, single app products such as Photoshop or XD, Acrobat, and Adobe Acrobat Sign have the option to assign users. For each license, you assign one user to that product. So, for the Creative Cloud All Apps product, if you assign a user to that product, that user is licensed to use every Adobe app or service available.

Assign Developers: Allow developers in your organization to integrate, extend, or create apps and experiences based on Adobe's products and technologies. Read details.

    You can add up to ten admins here. To add more, repeat the above steps after saving the changes.
