At the end of 2018, Adobe announced changes to Device Based Licensing for Adobe Creative Cloud (i.e. Serialized install) products. This does not affect Named User licenses for Adobe CC products, nor does it affect other Adobe products such as Acrobat Pro.

Shared Device Licensing is a licensing model to deploy and manage Adobe applications in labs and shared device setups (e.g. department shared workstation), where multiple users use the devices and applications. The software license is assigned to a device or computer instead of an individual.  Shared Device Licensing is ideal for computers in labs and classrooms.
