License Analysis Feature List

List of License Analysis Features for the Adobe Deployment Manager App (ADM)

Feature Description
Installed Product Recognition Detects and classifies all installed Adobe products and versions across the environment, including Creative Cloud and standalone applications like Acrobat, Illustrator, and Photoshop.
Creative Cloud Coverage Mapping Identifies which devices are licensed under Creative Cloud plans and highlights gaps where Creative Cloud is not deployed but Adobe products are installed.
Bundle Validation Automatically flags installations that may be more cost-effectively licensed under bundled offerings such as Creative Cloud All Apps, enabling optimization of licensing structure.
License Requirement Calculations Determines the number of licenses required for each Adobe product version and edition, based on actual installations and license metrics such as device-based licensing.
Version and Metric Breakdown Provides granular data on product versions, license metrics, and whether a product is part of a bundle, helping ensure accurate entitlement matching.
User and Device Attribution Maps installations to specific devices and users, improving visibility for compliance tracking and enabling more informed license allocation decisions.
Licenseability Evaluation Distinguishes between licensable and non-licensable products (e.g., Adobe Reader vs. Acrobat Standard), helping avoid false positives in license demand.
Raw Data Transparency Displays complete raw data used in calculations, such as software versions, install dates, OS versions, and device-user mappings for full audit traceability and trust.
Actionable Insights Highlights potential licensing risks or optimization opportunities, such as unnecessary bundle usage or underutilized Creative Cloud allocations.
On-Premise and Cloud Differentiation Separates Creative Cloud and traditional on-premise deployments, allowing tailored licensing strategies based on installation type and usage context.
License Metric Reasoning Provides clear justifications for assigned license metrics, such as “device” metric due to the type of software or bundle configuration, reducing ambiguity in licensing requirements.
