You are now ready to use Adobe Web Apps in the Cloud!

The Adobe web applications, Acrobat, Photoshop, Creative Cloud Express and Lightroom are available to use on the Adobe Creative Cloud website.  When using Adobe’s web apps, there is no need to install any software locally on your computer (no admin rights required).  If Adobe Acrobat, is the app you use the most, IS&T recommends using the Acrobat web app.  The web apps mentioned above have the same features as the downloadable versions.

Instructions to download and install Creative Cloud apps: 

• Installing Creative Cloud on a CSU-managed Windows computer (on campus csuwireless or hard-wired)
• Installing Creative Cloud on a CSU-Managed Windows computer or personal Windows computer (off campus; admin rights may be required)
• Installing Creative Cloud on a Mac (on or off campus)

Adobe Creative Cloud software is resource intensive and may not run properly on older machines. If you have problems, link to Adobe's minimum requirements link https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/system-requirements.html

If you need to deactivate a previous installation, please visit https://account.adobe.com/activated-devices and choose which device you would like deactivated.
