So my company pays for Adobe, and I fucking hate it. I have to re-sign in multiple times a day because I own and use daily two personal computers, and my work computer.
They only allow two at a time, so it’s just a constant hassle of entering authentication numbers.
People who steal this software literally have a better experience than I do.
If your company finds out (and they will) you’ll get fired so fast you wouldn’t even know what hit you. Never fuck around with licenses when they are provided to you by an employer. Some formats have metadata that gets saved, some companies do audits etc.
Quite a few products allow for this home use. Aids with training, familiarisation and locking users into their ecosystem. I’ve been able to do this a few times to help learn complex programs.
Completely legit with Adobe as far as I’m aware - since there is only the one licence available via online check-in so can’t be used on more than one at a time.
Autodesk is similar - used to have an allowance for a training/home use licence (may have been extra), even the common Office 365 corp licence allows for up to 5 installations and doesn’t really care where you install it.
Corp data on a home device or using your own gear for WFH is another story though.
So annoying, same for Deezer, which also allows 2 devices at once (atleast with my subscription), when you switch between a work pc, home desktop with a dual boot and a laptop, it can get quite annoying. Luckily the login process is really quick

Why don’t you switch one of them to a pirated copy, if it’s your personal computer?

I’m not understanding why anyone would use their corporate license on a personal computer in the first place.
Yeah, that’s already iffy, never do personal stuff on work computer and vice versea.

Set up adobe account access , so you don’t have the hassle with numbers, only a click on the notification of the account access app.

I‘d expect a music service to be installed on many devices only allowing x numbers of streams. At least Apple Music is like that.
Yeah same, but Deezer only allows x number of logged in devices
