Introduction
Adobe CC is a suite of application available to Penn State Students, Faculty, and Staff. This article is intended to outline the process of requesting access and installing the Adobe suite.
Step-by-Step Instructions
*** Adobe Creative Cloud is available at no additional cost for all Penn State students, staff, and faculty. However, obtaining an Adobe Enterprise ID account is an opt-in process. First-time users including students, faculty, and staff need to sign up for an Adobe Enterprise ID account at adobe.psu.edu.
First, you need to submit an order for Adobe CC here. Once there, click "Penn State" and then find the Adobe Creative Cloud software under the "Products"tab and click order. It may take up to 4 hours to get your order confirmation. Once the confirmation is received follow the steps below:
1. Download the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App here: https://creativecloud.adobe.com/apps/download/creative-cloud
2. After installation completes, run the Creative Cloud Desktop App
3. Sign in - The app should ask first for just your email address. Enter your official Penn State email address only! No other email will work, i.e. you cannot use abc123@arl.psu.edu, or abc123@pshealth.psu.edu, it MUST BE abc123@psu.edu
4. The next screen should prompt you to choose an option, either "Personal Account" or "Company or School Account". You MUST choose "Company or School Account"
5. You should now be prompted with Penn State Web Access where you will enter your Penn State username and password. This authenticates you as an official Penn State licensee. Again, it must be your official Penn State username i.e. abc123. No alias etc.
6. Once authenticated Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App should start up and show you available applications that you can now install and use.
