I have had so many issues (so have others) with CC when I freelance at a magazine production house. Randomly logged out of CC credentials on tether machine for no reason. Then you get stuff expiring with no warning. No grace period so production goes down, it's hilarious
Yes, seeing something similar.
It's just me, with a single Mac on a wired Ethernet. It would be hard to find a simpler setup and it still doesn't work properly. Around every 30 days it logs me out of CC with no notice.
My working theory is that CC only actually renews the license lease when you log in. But the machine is never shut down except for OS updates and I never log out. (I use the macOS "fast user switching" feature. To leave the machine unattended, I switch to the login screen and then sleep it. On wakeup, it comes back to the login screen so of course requires my password to get back to the active session.)
A proper implementaton would:
- allow the user to see how many days remain on the lease
- allow them to refresh it up to the 30 day/subscription expiry date limit, e.g. when about to go on a trip
- take into account advanced OS login schemes like "fast user switching"
- not wait until right at the end of the 30 day lease to renew it, for those of us with unreliable internet.
As far as I can tell, Adobe's does none of those things.
