Adobe Creative Cloud Remote Access
With remote instruction in place for UNF through the end of the spring semester, Adobe has provided temporary at-home access for impacted students, faculty and staff, so that they can continue their work remotely. Please follow the instructions below to enable access to Creative Cloud Desktop Apps on your personal device.
- Visit https://creativecloud.adobe.com and use your UNF email to sign in.
- At the UNF login screen enter your N number and password
- Use Duo for two-factor authentication
- From the Creative Cloud website, browse for and download your desired app. Select Apps on the top of the page to view all apps.
For more information on how to download or install apps, see Download and Install Creative Cloud apps.
For students looking to continue developing skills, Adobe offers free “Daily Creative Challenges”. These are guided projects where participants receive creative prompts and connect with pros, mentors, and other students for feedback and support. Select the app name to learn more: Photoshop, XD and Illustrator. Also, for inspiration and over-the-shoulder learning, watch pros share their creative process on Adobe Live daily at www.behance.net/adobelive.
For faculty seeking to engage students during campus closures, Adobe has curated resources to help them discover inspiring projects, best practices, and new ideas so they can continue to drive valuable learning in virtual environments. More information on Adobe’s distance learning resources.
On Campus Access for Faculty/Staff
|
Faculty/staff who use Adobe Acrobat Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Lightroom, Adobe Premiere Pro, or Experience Design are able to have the newest version installed by submitting an ITS-Request. If you have already worked with ITS to obtain a license and updated version of software, no further action is required.

Instructions on how to sign in and install Creative Cloud.
-
Yes. Request licenses and perform the installs of the new programs as needed to suit the needs of those that rely on these products day-to-day.
-
Licenses can be assigned by Adobe Creative Cloud Portal admins. Submit a ticket for licenses (or groups of licenses).
-
Each Faculty and Staff member must request a license to be assigned. The costs associated with the Adobe agreement are budgeted for and funded by ITS. Tech staff can also request a license on an end user (or group of end user’s behalf).
-
Adobe provides a portal to manage license assignments. License management documentation is in the ITS KB.
-
The intent is to provide end users with the software via self-service through existing management tools (Altiris and Casper). In addition, Adobe provides a desktop client that allows end users to add/remove software based on their allocated license. This helps in a few ways:
- Smaller installation footprint. Users can install only what they need versus acquiring the entire software suite and its associated disk space requirements.
- Reduced software maintenance. Following the logic of installing only what is needed – there will be less to patch/maintain.
- Self-Service is more efficient. End users can acquire the software on their own (thru the desktop client) without administrative credentials.

Creative Cloud.
-
Each user must have a license allocated. Once a license has been assigned and the software has been installed – the user must sign in to authenticate. Authentication is done with the user’s UNF email address, N# and UNF password.
-
Yes. The new license model introduces the use of Adobe’s cloud products. These are Adobe Acrobat Pro Document Cloud (DC) and Adobe Creative Cloud (CC). All old installations were using a site-wide volume license key which is no longer supported in our agreement with Adobe. When the new versions of DC or CC are installed, older versions will be removed.
-
Support for Acrobat Pro 11 ended in November 2017. It is recommended that existing Acrobat Pro 11 installs are converted to DC. After November 2017 there are no more updates (security or feature fixes) provided for this product.
