Installation and Licensing

UMIACS-supported desktop machines

Please contact staff if you would like one or more Creative Cloud products installed on a supported Windows or macOS desktop machine. Staff will create a bundle that contains the applications you want and deploy it to the machine. It will be licensed under our site license for Adobe products.

Please note that after August 13th, 2019, all site licensed Adobe products will expire and will not be issued a license for renewal, as device/serial licensing is no longer supported by Adobe. You will need to sign in with your UMD account similarly to how you would have to for laptops or other personal machines by following the steps here.

All other machines

Creative Cloud products can be installed on laptops or personal machines following the instructions provided by UMD on Terpware for Windows or macOS. Faculty and staff should choose the Faculty and Staff Enterprise for Individuals option.

You will be prompted to sign in when using any Creative Cloud product installed this way. Licensing is handled through your UMD account. Instructions for signing in can be found here.
