Adobe Creative Cloud
Adobe Creative Cloud (CC) is the latest version of Adobe's creative software. Adobe CC is distributed in a different manner than Adobe Creative Suite. Adobe CC desktop applications are available to Indiana University faculty, staff, and currently enrolled students; for details, see Adobe Creative Cloud at IU.
Under IU's contract with Adobe, Creative Cloud eligibility is limited to Indiana University faculty, faculty emeriti, staff, and currently enrolled students.
Additionally, under this contract, affiliates meeting the following criteria are eligible:
- If IU did not exist, the organization would not exist; and
- IU owns over 50% of the organization.

Adobe's creative tool set, known for years as Creative Suite, has been replaced by Creative Cloud. Software in the final version of Creative Suite, CS6, remains available to the IU community at present, but will eventually be retired.

Access the software
Eligible IU users can install Adobe software on up to two personally owned computers, or access Adobe software without installation via IUanyWare.
For installation instructions, see:
Adobe's Creative Cloud license allows two concurrent active instances of Creative Cloud. You can install Creative Cloud on as many computers as you wish, but you can only be logged in on two of them at any given time. If you attempt to log into a third instance, you will receive a warning and an opportunity to deactivate (i.e., log out of) the other instances. For this reason, if you have Creative Cloud installed on more than one computer, UITS recommends that you deactivate Creative Cloud any time you are not actively using it.
To deactivate Adobe software so that you can log into it on a different computer, see Deactivate Adobe software.
