Adobe login required for separate OS accounts on the same computer

Last updated on May 28, 2025

Learn how to resolve sign-in prompts when launching Adobe apps for separate operating system accounts on the same computer.

Advanced security requires you to sign in again

Sign in with your Adobe ID and password the first time you launch any Adobe app for each OS account you use on a single computer.

This is an expected behavior because Adobe has enhanced the security around how apps store licensing information.

Note:

Using your Adobe ID to install an application from different OS accounts on the same computer doesn't count as multiple activations against your Adobe ID. This only applies if you use the application from one OS account at a time.
