What changes should you expect with Adobe Creative Cloud applications?
Any University computer that is issued to a single user (for example, the laptop you receive is only used by you), requires the use of the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop app, which will also require the user to log into using their SJU email address and password. Once you've authenticated with your SJU credentials, you will then be able to download and install any of the Adobe applications that the University is entitled to. If you're using a general use or student worker computer, you will need to submit a ticket requesting specific Adobe applications to be installed by OIT.
The following guide will help walk you through the process for both PC's and Mac's.
