Eligibility

Adobe's licensing model restricts our flexibility to preemptively install Creative Cloud on all SPU devices.  Additionally, there are two different types of installations:

...

Faculty & Staff: Permanent faculty and staff are granted a Named User license, which permits them to use Creative Cloud on up to 2 devices.  This licensing excludes adjunct faculty and staff who do not use a computer for 50% or more of their job.

Shared Workstations: Additional eligibility is extended to staff who do not receive a Named User license and student employees.  This is provided via a specially configured installation of Creative Cloud, which CIS can coordinate for SPU-managed, shared computers.

Computer Labs: Creative Cloud is also installed in some computer labs, and available in these locations by anyone with an Adobe ID login (which can be created for free).
