To use any Adobe Creative Cloud programs from one of our mac lab computers in the Learning Commons, launch the Adobe application and login with your personal Adobe ID. Sign up for your personal Adobe account at Do not store any sensitive data in your Adobe Cloud account. If you do not already have a personal Adobe account, we recommend you use your email address to create your account and USE A PASSWORD THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM YOUR SCU account. You will need to work with Adobe directly regarding any login/password issues. Santa Clara University does not manage your Adobe account or Adobe ID and cannot reset passwords, recover lost accounts or delete old accounts. Your personal Adobe account and Adobe ID are not related to your Santa Clara University account or your Santa Clara University Single Sign-On.
Adobe accounts are free and can be created at anytime. Without a personal Adobe account, you will not be able to use any of the Adobe Creative Cloud programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Illustrator and all of the other Adobe programs in our mac Labs. Due to a change in Adobe’s licensing, effective February 2020, students, faculty and staff who wish to use any of the Adobe Creative Cloud programs in the Learning Commons/Library (mac Labs LC203, LC205, LC206 and Digital Media Lab) need a personal Adobe account.
