Frequently Asked Questions
Can I upgrade my existing individual Adobe subscription to a team plan?
Yes. When purchasing a team subscription using the same Adobe ID, you will usually be prompted to upgrade, and Adobe will automatically transition your individual account and pro-rate any existing charges. For complex billing, contacting Adobe Support is recommended.
How do I add more licenses to my small business team later?
You can add additional licenses at any time by logging into the Adobe Admin Console, navigating to the 'Products' or 'Account' section, and selecting 'Add Licenses'.
Is Adobe Acrobat Pro DC included in the Creative Cloud for teams?
If you purchase the Creative Cloud 'All Apps' plan for teams, Acrobat Pro DC is fully included. If your team only needs PDF tools, you can purchase the Acrobat Pro DC single-app plan for teams instead.
