IT administrators have options when it comes to deploying Creative Cloud for enterprise. However, if you want to take advantage of the new Adobe Enterprise Dashboard for easier license management, or you want your users to access cloud-based storage or services, then you’ll want to deploy the creative apps to named users using either Adobe IDs or Enterprise IDs.
- Adobe ID: User creates and owns account, Adobe manages credentials and processes sign-in
- Enterprise ID: Organization creates and owns account, Adobe manages credentials and processes sign-in
- Federated ID: Organization creates and owns account, links with enterprise directory via federation, enterprise company or school manages credentials and processes sign-in via Single Sign-On
For more information, see Manage Identity Types. Additionally, you still can deploy Creative Cloud for enterprise with serial numbers, which means users will be anonymous and can work in offline environments. You decide which option is best for your organization and you can even mix and match for different users and groups.
