UI Foibles

Adobe – Never stand still – UI

I have a subscription in Adobe, for Acrobat Pro, where I’ve purchased one license for each person who needs it. So 4 licenses for 4 people.

Adobe is apparently not happy with the status-quo remaining stable, and is urging me to action:

It’s not that dynamic, that I need to be urged to action. This message appears atop the page that lists the users who I have assigned licenses to. It would be fair to display that urgent “call-to-action” if I was trying to assign a new license and had run out of licenses and had to buy more to accomplish my task.

What would be better, I think, is remove that box. and add some simple text, not in a box, not highlighted, just indicating the # of licenses purchased and # assigned, would suffice for me.

What do you think?
