Has Adobe changed it's licensing from the answer in this July 2017 post Creative Cloud Individual licenses for a business? to forbid the use of a Creative Cloud Individual Subscription for commercial purposes? Or not allow more than one Individual Plan user per business?
If the licensing has not changed, why is Adobe not correcting the misleading and unethical practices being employed by their "Global Business Direct" unit (note this is the same unit another user cites in the linked July 2017 post above)?
I received the below email and subsequent phone calls today from the individual claiming I was REQUIRED to upgrade from my Individual Plan to a Business Plan or I "would be hearing from another unity in Adobe" to follow-up. When I asked what the consequences would be if I refused, he said he couldn't answer because "he wasn't with Adobe Legal." The undertone was clearly understood to be "Agree to the change or else." When I pressed the employee to what the "or else" would be, he made it very clear he could not say as that was not his department. Since I was refusing the upgrade, he was going to "close his involvement" and "would no longer own my case."
Hi Bill,
Trust you doing fine! We wanted to touch base on the licenses deployed in the company.
We noticed couple things , which are causing disparity while tracking the licenses.
Please email , whenever we can connect to discuss and ensure there is no downtime in the workflow of the business.
