Hi everyone,
I bought lightroom 6 (not the cc version) a few weeks ago and now I want to get the CC photography which includes PS and LR and the only thing that's holding me back is that I can't seem to get a definitive answer to my question which is whether I can use the same software on 2 different computers simultaneously.
I must have read every thread in the Adobe forum only to get more confused. So is anyone using LR CC (for example) on 2 computers at the same time without a problem?
There seems to be a lot of contradicting information out there so I'm looking for someone with personal experience in this matter.

Thanks so much

Yes, you can use it on 2 computers. If you sign into the CC app on a third machine, it'll sign you out of the other 2.

Thank you!
I'm assuming you have done it yourself

I'm under the impression that while it can be installed on 2 machines, it can only be used on one at a time.

From Adobe: 2.1.3 Portable or Home Computer Use. Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 2.1.4, the
primary user of the Computer on which the Software is installed under Section 2.1 (“Primary User”)
may install a second copy of the Software for his or her exclusive use on either a portable Computer
or a Computer located at his or her home, provided that the Software on the portable or home
Computer is not used at the same time as the Software on the primary Computer.

"it can only be used on one at a time"

I would read that as meaning you can only use a keyboard or mouse on one machine at a time, i.e you can install and open on two machines but unless you are very handy with both hands the OP should be OK unless the other machine is being use by another person.

That raises an interesting (maybe philosophical) question: If you are subscribed to the Photography Package (LR 2015 and PSCC) is it considered one app with two modules or two separate apps? Would it be legal to be simultaneously using LR on one computer and PS on another?

Another question might be, "Why would you want to?"
