Adobe Creative Cloud Suite

Before downloading, installing and using the Adobe suite/apps please consider using an alternative app. These alternative apps are often less complicated and quicker to use than the Adobe apps. Here is a list of Adobe app alternatives that OIT recommends: https://oit.williams.edu/help-guides/apps-software/alternate-resources-to-adobe-apps/

The Adobe Creative Cloud Suite is available to all current Williams faculty and staff employees directly from Adobe. 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 environments will not count as part of the two-activation limit.

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.

If you have the creative cloud app installed and a sign-in box appears click ‘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.

  • Follow these directions if you are installing the Adobe Suite on your own Williams issued computer or personal computer. For computers shared by multiple users please contact OIT at x4090 or [email protected]
