Complimentary membership extends free access to essential Adobe tools and services to every user in your Creative Cloud for teams organization. This automatic benefit improves collaboration by allowing all team members, whether they have paid app assignments or not, to view, share, and provide feedback on creative work using their business credentials.
All users added to your organization in the Adobe Admin Console automatically receive membership benefits, including Adobe Express free plan, Acrobat free online services, 5GB of storage, and creative resources to support team workflows.
Prerequisites
If your organization is eligible, you can access a complimentary membership in the Adobe Admin Console. If prompted, accept Adobe's revised Terms and Conditions in the Admin Console to activate complimentary membership. As a system administrator, you can accept the terms at any time once they are made available. If acceptance is required, a prompt will appear when you sign in to the Admin Console. To review the terms at any time, select the Notification icon in the Admin Console.

Common questions
How can I manage access to the included apps and services for my team?
Access to included apps and services is automatically available for all Admin Console users and cannot be managed or modified for Creative Cloud for teams organizations.
Who retains ownership of assets created by users with the complimentary membership?
Your organization owns the user accounts and their associated assets. When a user leaves the organization or you delete a user's account, you can reclaim the user's assets and transfer them to a delegated user.
Are users with current licenses entitled to the additional 5GB storage provided with the complimentary membership?
Users who already have paid licenses with included storage will benefit from an additional 5GB, which is cumulative. For example, if a user's paid Creative Cloud for enterprise subscription provides 100GB of storage, adding 5GB from the membership will increase their total storage capacity to 105GB.
What happens when I cancel my plan?
Cancelling your plan retains the complimentary benefits. Team members can continue to access these benefits by signing in with their business profile.
Caution
If you exceed the 5GB storage limit after cancelling, reduce your online usage within 30 days to avoid losing access to your Creative Cloud files.
