To reactivate a previously deactivated device license, the Admin has two options:

1. Re-install the applications on the device using the Creative Cloud Packager

Use this process if:

a. Creative Cloud apps were removed or uninstalled from the device

b. The Admin wants to install a different set of apps than what is currently on the device

c. The product hasn’t been updated in some time

2. Create a new license file on the device

Ideal for replacing a currently-installed product with a new license file of the same product

Requires using the ‘Create License File’ process in Creative Cloud Packager, see the Appendix for directions

Previous CCT customers who are deploying Device Based Licenses, please note:

You will know you were using CCT if your users were required to sign in and out. If you have a previous installation of Creative Cloud for teams (CCT) you should follow this workflow:

See: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager/device-based-licenses.html#Migrate%20from%20existing%20licenses%20to%20device%20licenses

Step 1: Create a License file for device licenses. For more information, see Create license file.

Step 2: End users must sign out from Creative Cloud to unlicense existing software. Users can sign out from Creative Cloud app or any other installed product.

Creative Cloud app: Choose > Preferences > Account, and then click Sign out from Creative Cloud.

Installed product: Choose Help > Sign out.

Step 3: Deploy the license file package to the end-user machines, and execute the AdobeSerialization executable file with administrator privileges. This file is created when you create a license file.

http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager/device-based-licenses.html%23Migrate%20from%20existing%20licenses%20to%20device%20licenses






Previous EEA customers who are deploying Device Based Licenses, please note:

If you were an EEA customer you installed a serialized product. Follow the following steps:

1. Follow slides 62-67 and unserialize your current Adobe products.

2. Create a new package with your products such as 2014 apps and then deploy, following slides 35-46
