Before downloading the applications within the Adobe Suite, you may consider using an alternative app, which are often more efficient and less complicated. Here is a list of Adobe app alternatives that OIT recommends.
The Adobe Creative Cloud Suite is available to all current Williams faculty and staff employees directly from Adobe. The suite includes Acrobat DC (Pro), After Effects, Animate, Audition, Bridge, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, InDesign, Lightroom Classic, Media Encoder, Photoshop, Prelude, and Premiere Pro, among others.
Employees are able to sign in and download Adobe CC apps on both personal and OIT issued computers. Each user is entitled to two activations per account. Software can be installed on additional computers but a third activation will require the deactivation of one of the two initial activations. Use in multi-user lab or classroom environment will not count as part of the two-activation limit.
If you have the Creative Cloud app installed and a sign-in box appears, select ‘Continue with Google’ or ‘Sign in with an Enterprise ID’ then enter your Williams email address. You will then be directed to a google sign-in page to finish the authentication using your Williams email address and password.
Students looking for Adobe apps on a personal device can get a discount directly though Adobe.
If you have any questions or need any help with the Adobe setup please call the help desk (x4090) or submit a ticket at ticket.williams.edu.
