Accessing Adobe Creative Cloud

Currently, the only available way to access Adobe Creative Cloud without purchasing a license is by using a lab machine. In order to use Adobe CC, ITS recommends creating an Adobe account at https://account.adobe.com/. You may use either your university or personal account, as long as you remember the credentials. This will not be tied to your UConn accounts even if you use a UConn email.

Once you are remoted in to the machine,

  1. Open adobe Creative Cloud from applications
  2. Login with your Adobe account
  3. Open an Adobe application
