Our campus license for Adobe software has changed. We now have a new way of managing Adobe software for our faculty and staff computers on campus. This new method is based on named users utilizing your Canisius email address to create an Adobe ID. Please follow the instructions below if you wish to be able to use any of the Adobe Creative Cloud software. This includes Acrobat Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere, etc...
New features include 20GB online storage for collaboration and asset management, availability of additional font libraries and stock images, Adobe Portfolio and web content. The new features integrate the mobile and desktop experience of the Adobe platform.

*Please note - old licenses of Adobe Creative Cloud software will be expiring by mid-November. If you wish to continue to use it you must sign up for the new licenses as directed below.
This new licensing model does NOT apply to student labs or make software available to students personal computers. Students using lab computers will not be able to take advantage from the additional features of the creative cloud such as online storage and fonts. Also, students will still need to purchase software thru the Kivuto store for their personally owned computers.
How do I request a Canisius license?
Canisius users need to be allocated a license by the license administrator. To make the request, simply send an email to helpdesk@canisius.edu with the request. Be sure it is sent from your Canisius email account. Once your request is processed you will receive and email from Adobe inviting you to join the NERCOMP-Canisius College software service. You will need to click on the Accept Invitation link in this email message. The message should look like this:
You will be taken to the Adobe ID login page. If you already have an Adobe ID associated with your Canisius College email address simply sign in. If you do not have an Adobe ID yet, you will need to create one. A license for the entire Creative Cloud Suite will now be associated with your Canisius College username.
If you had the Creative Cloud application installed with a previous version simply open it, log in with your Canisius Adobe ID and password and and all the available software will be displayed. If you need to download the Creative Cloud Desktop Applications click here.
