Introduction
Named user licensing is the default and most popular licensing method to deploy and use Adobe Creative Cloud and Document Cloud products. It is designed for the network-connected scenario where app licenses are managed based on individual user requirements. Using named user licensing, you can provide your end users with the full functionality of the software and services. Users can access all the available apps and services based on your organization's entitlements.
Learn about the various options to deploy and deliver apps and updates to your end users.
Acrobat Classic version can now be included in Named User Licensing packages. This will provide customers with a stable release Acrobat version that provides the ability to limit feature updates while still receiving security and platform enhancements. For more, see Document Cloud Product Tracks. |
Availability Of user-generated packages
Starting December 2023, only packages aligned with Adobe's Enterprise & Teams support policy will be available on the Packages tab of the Admin Console.
This will help optimize the performance and load time of the Packages tab.
Self-service packages
Like millions of Adobe users, you can allow your creatives to install applications and updates via the Creative Cloud desktop app. It reduces IT overhead and ensures that your creatives have access to all the tools they need and receive updates when they are released.
With Managed packages, you can decide what gets deployed and when it gets updated. You can create the packages that contain the latest or archived versions of Adobe products. You can then deploy these packages to the user's computers in your organization. You can even perform silent and custom deployment where no inputs are required from your users during installation.
Acrobat-only packages
If your organization has a Document Cloud-only entitlement on the Admin Console, you can create Acrobat-only packages.
Uninstall products and licenses
While you create and deploy packages to client machines, you must remove previously installed products and licenses. For example, if your organization migrates from Shared Device Licensing to Named User Licensing, uninstall 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, might be consuming extra licenses. And these licenses are not being 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 the following third-party tools to uninstall the package in bulk (and remotely) on client machines:
