Adobe Creative Cloud

Adobe Creative Cloud (or "Adobe CC") is a suite of products, services, and tools that together allow for many utilities across all kinds of projects, from creative to administrative.

Adobe CC is available for all faculty and staff use both on campus computers and home use. At this time, students are not eligible for the Adobe Creative Cloud installation.

Download & Installation

For LSUE workstations, faculty and staff can contact OIT for assistance with installing the software.

For personal machines, faculty and staff should:

Note about Adobe Cloud Storage:

All faculty/staff are recommended to use current enterprise storage solutions, i.e. Microsoft OneDrive, for storing any and all content developed through Adobe Creative Cloud. Although Adobe offers a cloud storage service, there are limited to no controls available for data retention or retrieval, so in the event a user becomes ineligible for Adobe licenses, they will immediately lose access to Adobe Cloud Storage, and OIT will not be able to assist the user or the department with data retrieval.
