Adobe Creative Cloud Self-Service Licensing for Staff

Overview

Due to changes in Adobe licensing, University of Idaho staff are not automatically granted access to use the Adobe Creative Cloud suite of products. It requires the addition of your account to a special group to access to Adobe products, like Acrobat, PhotoShop, Premiere, etc. A self service group has been created to license access to the products. You must join the group prior to using the Adobe products.

Please Note:

After joining the self-service group it will take 40 to 60 minutes to provision your access in Adobe Creative Cloud. 

 

Joining the Self-Service Staff Group
