I deal with a lot of Adobe offline clients and there always seems to be a challenge to reactivate a licence that has expired.

Tools your going to need
- Adobe Offline Licence from a reseller or direct from Adobe
- Adobe login details to the Admin Console
- Adobe Licensing Toolkit (Downloaded from the Adobe Console portal)
- Fast internet
- Remote Software (I am using Apple Remote software tool and Splashtop for Windows)
- Admin access to the machine that Adobe Cloud is going to be deployed to
