Overview

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:

  • Adobe Portfolio
  • 20GB online storage for collaboration and asset management
  • Additional font libraries and stock images
  • Web content
  • The new features integrate the mobile and desktop experience of the Adobe platform.

To learn more about what features the Adobe Creative Cloud has to offer click here. 

*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 student personal computers. Students using lab computers will NOT be able to take advantage of the additional features of the Creative Cloud such as online storage and fonts.  Alternatively, students looking to purchase software for their personally-owned computers, should visit the Kivuto store.
