Adobe Creative Cloud

The Orchard Software Centre offers the installation of individual or all Adobe Creative Cloud applications. The software is by default delivered without a valid license and offers a 30 day trial period. Please note the trial period starts with the usage of the first application of the software package and accounts for the whole software suite.

Licensing

Adobe Creative Cloud licensing is rather complex and offers multiple ways to license their product. The majority of licenses are subscription based and are either per named user or device. Licenses can be either for the full suite or an individual application.

• Whilst named licenses allow the software only be activated multiple (typically two devices), they only activate the software for that specific user on a device. Other users will either have to active the product themselves. Personal Adobe Creative Cloud subscriptions are named user licenses and can be activated by signing in with an Adobe ID. Departments might also decide to issue individuals with named licenses which will also require an Adobe ID.
• Device licenses are assigned to a device and work for all users. These licenses are managed and installed by the IT Services Orchard team.

Users should contact their IT department to attain a license. The Orchard team can provide both types of licenses to departments. The license management document describes the procedures and costs.
