Overview
What is Creative Cloud for teams?
Creative Cloud puts the latest versions of Adobe’s creative apps and services — including Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign — right at your fingertips. And you control how and when to deploy them.
We’ve added hundreds of new features to boost productivity, support the latest standards and hardware, and make everyday tasks easier. If you’re still using Adobe Creative Suite, there’s never been a better time to step up to Creative Cloud.
Features:
Volume discounts
The Adobe Value Incentive Plan (VIP) gives you volume discounts of up to 15%. Plus you can extend your contract term up to three years, allowing you to add more licenses at the discounted price and keep your budget predictable.
Company ownership and control
Creative Cloud for teams makes it fast, simple, and affordable to add or reassign licenses. So you can scale with your workload while keeping everyone in sync. Plus use administrative tools to centrally deploy, and simplify how you manage creative tools across your organization.

How Adobe CC works
How Adobe Creative Cloud Works:
Do I need ongoing Internet access to use my Creative Cloud desktop applications
No. Your Creative Cloud desktop applications (such as Photoshop and Illustrator) are installed directly on your computer, so you will not need an ongoing Internet connection to use them on a daily basis.
You will need to be online when you install and license your software. If you have an annual membership, you’ll be asked to connect to the web to validate your license every 30 days. However, you’ll be able to use products for 180 days even if you’re offline.
Do I have to download and install all of the applications available in Creative Cloud all at once?
No. Creative Cloud enables you to install each application individually whenever it works best for you. Mix and match and install whatever you want—you have the freedom to choose which applications you want to install.
As a Creative Cloud member, when an upgrade to an application becomes available in Creative Cloud, am I required to install it?
No. You are not required to install any new version of the applications available in your membership. You can continue using your current version of the product as long as you have an active subscription. You have flexibility on when you install a new release to take advantage of new product features, if you choose to do so.
What happens if I decide to stop my Creative Cloud membership
You will continue to have access to free Creative Cloud member benefits, and if you saved your work to your computer, you will continue to have access to those files. You will no longer have access to the Creative Cloud applications or most of the services that are components of a Creative Cloud membership.
Adobe VIP Program
How the VIP Program Works:
What is Adobe’s Value incentive Plan (VIP)?
You may be familiar with Adobe’s CLP and TLP volume licensing programs that are available for purchasing licenses of Adobe’s perpetual software. Value Incentive Plan (VIP) is Adobe’s new membership-based buying program that customers join to purchase Creative Cloud for teams through the channel. There is no cost to join the VIP program.
One of the unique benefits of the VIP program is the ability for customers to immediately download and deploy Adobe’s subscription-based products while the billing cycle is still in process. Immediate fulfillment means that your employees and team members no longer have to wait for the ordering process to be complete and can start using products as soon as they are assigned a seat.
In addition, with VIP there are no minimum purchase requirements.
How do I join VIP?
Joining VIP is quick and easy. Your reseller will send you an email inviting you to join the program. Once you review and accept the terms of the program (there is no obligation to buy), you will be assigned a VIP ID, which you will use to place all orders.
As a VIP customer, how do I purchase Creative Cloud for teams?
As a VIP customer, you can purchase Creative Cloud for teams from your reseller of choice by providing your VIP ID, and a confirmation email will be sent to you when seats are added. If you purchase product from two different resellers, you can use the same VIP ID or create two separate IDs, giving you flexibility on how you want to manage your subscriptions.
Alternatively, you can log on to creativecloud.com and add seats directly to your Creative Cloud for teams membership. Note that when you add seats directly through Creative Cloud, your reseller will be notified, and you have 30 days to send them a purchase order.
You can track your seats and status of payments on a seat-by-seat basis within Creative Cloud.
How do I add seats to my Creative Cloud for teams membership?
If you’ve purchased Creative Cloud for teams through Adobe.com, you can add seats at any time and you will be billed for the additional seats in your next billing cycle.
Similarly, if you purchase seats through a reseller, you can add seats at any time. However, you will need to place an order with your reseller within 30 days to complete your transaction. If you do not place your purchase order within 30 days, you will not be able to add any more seats, and your unpaid seats may be deactivated. All additional seats will co-terminate with your original anniversary date.
You can track your seats and status of payments on a seat-by-seat basis within Creative Cloud.
Can I use the software I downloaded from Creative Cloud on multiple compuers?
Yes. You can use the applications available in Creative Cloud on two computers at once, regardless of operating system, for the individual associated with the Creative Cloud membership.
