Substance 3D for Linux is moving away from LWS.
As of October 24th, 2024, Substance 3D for Linux licenses will need to be managed through Adobe Download Access (ADA). This page has legacy instructions for LWS, but will be removed a few days after the release of Adobe Download Access on October 23rd.
Deployment guide
After purchasing Substance 3D for Linux® via your Enterprise contract, the corresponding products and licenses are provisioned on the Adobe Licensing Website (LWS). You'll need to download both the software builds and the license key files from LWS to deploy the software successfully.
- Go to the Licensing Website.
- Sign in using your Adobe ID (usually your email address) and password.
Note:
Need help creating or using your Adobe ID? See Adobe ID account and sign-in troubleshooting.
Can't sign in, find serial numbers, or find orders because you don't know (or forgot) which email address was used to create the account? Try these solutions:
- Try another Adobe ID If you know it, try signing in with the Adobe ID/email address used to place the volume licensing order. If you have multiple email addresses, try each of them. Once you've signed in, you can change the email address associated with your account.
- Ask the primary account contact to add you as a contact Contacts can access all of your organization’s product downloads, serial numbers, and purchase histories. If you need such access, ask the primary contact to add you as a contact. (See Manage account contacts for how to add or delete contacts.)
- New primary contact? When the name or details for your organization’s primary contact change, update the information. (See Manage account contacts for how to make updates.)
Note:
If you forgot your password or want to change it, use the Reset your password option to get details on your email address.
