Adobe Creative Cloud

What is it?

Adobe Creative Cloud is a full suite of applications (listed below). Faculty, staff, and students are automatically granted licenses for Adobe Express Premium, while faculty and staff are also automatically granted licenses for Adobe Acrobat DC.

Adobe Express should meet the needs of most users. It is a cloud-based design platform where users can create videos, PDF documents, web pages, graphics, and other digital content. Our license for Adobe Express includes access to Adobe Stock photos, 250 generative credits per user per month for features powered by Adobe Firefly AI, Adobe Fonts, and basic and premium editing features.

The full Adobe Creative Cloud suite includes the apps listed below. For a full listing, please open the Adobe Creative Cloud application on your computer.

  • Adobe Firefly (see note below)
  • Photoshop
  • Illustrator
  • Premiere Pro
  • InDesign
  • Lightroom
  • After Effects
  • Photoshop Express

For users who only need sporadic access to the full suite, most these applications are available in the public computer labs and clusters without the need for a full license. In these locations, Lightroom Classic is available due to the way the products are licensed. Additionally, Acrobat, Photoshop, and Illustrator are available in Azure Virtual Desktop, which is accessible from any computer with an internet connection.

Note about Firefly: Adobe Firefly is limited to the standard features, which require the use of generative credits. Users are given 1,000 credits, which reset back to 1,000 each month. Due to our licensing, it is not possible to purchase additional credits.

Students
