Connect Adobe to LicenseMeter.

Connect via API

Adobe seats are expensive and offboarding rarely reaches the Admin Console. LicenseMeter reads the user list and filters memberships to product-profile entitlements through the User Management API, then cross-checks every seat against Entra ID.

Setup, step by step.

  1. Create the API project

    In the Adobe Developer Console, create or open a project and add the User Management API with OAuth Server-to-Server credentials. This requires the Adobe System Administrator role; the Developer role alone cannot create the User Management API integration.

    Adobe User Management API documentation (official documentation)

  2. Copy the credentials

    The credential details page shows the organization ID, client ID and client secret: the three values LicenseMeter asks for.

  3. Connect

    Paste the three values on the Adobe connector page. LicenseMeter validates them against the API before storing anything; the secret is encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM).

What it finds.

  • Creative Cloud seats held by accounts that are disabled in Entra ID.
  • Seats with no matching directory account at all.

What LicenseMeter reads

  • The user list: email, name and account status
  • Product profile entitlements per user, filtered from Adobe group memberships

What it never reads

  • Files, libraries or any Creative Cloud content
  • Usage data: Adobe's API exposes entitlements only, so there is no inactivity signal

Credentials are validated against the vendor before anything is stored, encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM), used read-only and deleted the moment you disconnect. Data lives in the EU (Postgres, Frankfurt). The security overview covers the full picture.

Ready in a few minutes.
