CHM IT - Adobe Access for Undergrads/Students
By default, access to the Adobe Creative Cloud suite (Acrobat, Photoshop, etc.) is for faculty and staff only. Students (by default) do not have access.
However, on our touchdown/shared machines, we've installed the Adobe Shared Device License, which will allow non-eligible students access provided they create a separate Adobe ID.
This can be created for free by following the directions here: https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/using/create-update-adobe-id.html.
Once the user has an Adobe ID, they can open the Adobe Creative Cloud application and login using the credentials they provided. If, at any point, they are presented with a choice between "Personal Account" and "Company or School Account", choose "Personal Account" and continue with the login.
IF A STUDENT IS USING A PERSONAL LAPTOP and cannot access our shared machines, register here:
