Adobe Creative Cloud
Every employee (faculty, staff, and administration) will have a Named User License and each public device will be assigned a Shared Device License.
A Named User License (NUL) is a license that is assigned to an employee’s account that will allow them to use CC. The IT department has setup a system to allow employees to log into CC with your network account (your standard email address and password).
A Share Device License (SDL) is a license that will be applied to all of our public computers (labs, teacher stations, public kiosks, etc.). A computer with CC installed with a SDL allows anyone with an Adobe account to log in and use all of the CC applications that are installed.
Purchasing Programs (Faculty & staff)
Please note that ITS cannot provide any assistance with the downloading or installation of software on personally owned computers.
