Step 4: Signing Out of Adobe
When you close an application or turn off your computer, you will not be automatically logged out of your Adobe session. This can have implications for both security and accessibility, especially in a shared computing environment like a university lab.
- Shared Computer: If you are using a shared computer, such as those found in university labs, it is recommended to log out of your Adobe applications once you have completed your work.
- New Devices: Adobe allows users to have up to two concurrent sessions for their Creative Cloud applications. This means you can be signed in on two different devices simultaneously. However, if you need to use a third device, you'll need to log out from one of the existing sessions first.
