Using Adobe Creative Cloud on Shared Devices

A shared device is considered to be a computer or system accessible by other members of the community. Typically these include labs, Library computers and certain creative spaces.

Adobe has switched to account-based licensing instead of serial-based licensing.  This means that moving forward your access as CalArts Faculty, Staff or Student to Adobe products will be handled through the Creative Cloud Desktop application which requires an Adobe account login.

The good news is CAIT has created this account for you, and it's your CalArts email address
