Introduction

Shared Device License is a licensing method targeted at educational institutions where software is assigned to a device instead of an individual. Anyone who logs on to the device will have access to Adobe's products and services. This method of licensing is ideal for desktop computer labs and classrooms.

For more details, see Licensing overview.

Note: The content and voice-over for this video is available in English only.

How to create Shared Device Licensing packages

  • Locale
  • Creative Cloud Desktop application version

    • Remote update manager - Enabled or Disabled 
    • App Panel - Enabled or Disabled

    • Browser Based Auth - Enabled or Disabled
    • Files Panel - Enabled or Disabled
    • Use OS Locale - Enabled or Disabled

The PackageInfo.txt file is for informational purposes only.

Deploy packages

After you create the shared device license package, set up the devices in your lab with the license.

Choose from the following methods to deploy the package:

  • Install by double-clicking the package file. See this document for details.
  • Use third-party tools such as Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM), Apple Remote Desktop, or JAMF Casper Suite. See this document for details.
  • Deploy using command line on Windows computers. See this document for details.
  • Deploy using Info.plist file on macOS computers. See this document for details.

Deploy updates

Adobe regularly ships updates and new release to its Creative Cloud apps. This way, your students, and staff can access the latest features of apps that you deployed to the shared devices in your labs and classrooms. To get the latest Creative Cloud updates, choose one of the following methods:

  • You can create an update package and deploy it manually on the client machines.
  • Or, you can use Remote Update Manager, which uses the Adobe Update Server. Alternatively, use an internal update server and deploy the latest updates available on update server to each device on which it is run. You don't have to manually push updates to the individual devices.

Uninstall products and licenses

While you create and deploy packages to client machines, you might also require to remove previously installed products and licenses. For example, if your organization migrated from Shared Device Licensing to Named User Licensing, uninstall all the products and licenses previously installed on the machine. Also, there's often the case when client machines may contain multiple versions of apps. Or, may be using conflicting licenses. Client machines, may be consuming extra licenses, which are not returned to the deployment pool.

In all these scenarios, we recommend that you use one of these procedures to uninstall the products and / or licenses on the client machines:

  • Use installed package (recommended): Use this method if you have the package files (that you downloaded from the Admin Console) available. Read how to use the installed package.
  • Create uninstall package: Use this method if the package files (that you downloaded from the Admin Console) are unavailable. Read how to create an uninstall package. 
  • Bulk uninstall: Use third-party tools such as ARD and SCCM to uninstall the package in bulk (and remotely) on client machines.
