macOS - Licensing Adobe Software (Acrobat DC or Entire Creative Cloud Suite)

Licensing either Adobe Acrobat DC or the entire Creative Cloud Suite (which includes Adobe Acrobat DC)

Before you can use Adobe products, you must get a license.  You can either get an annual license to Adobe Acrobat DC or a 3 month license to the entire Creative Cloud suite (which also includes Adobe Acrobat DC).  Please make note of the following items before proceeding:

  • You can only have one license at a time (if you try to license the product a second time before it expires, you will receive an error)
  • After expiring, the licenses must regularly be renewed
  • If you license Acrobat DC and then decide you need the entire Creative Cloud suite, you will have to contact the Service Desk for assistance since you can only license one or the other, not both

To license Adobe software, please follow the step below.
