Adobe Creative Cloud

Thanks to a partnership between the Divisions of Administration and Finance and Academic Affairs, IUP has joined an optional Pennsylvania State System agreement that permits IUP employees to obtain licenses for Adobe Creative Cloud. This will allow employees to install Adobe Creative Cloud on a personally owned computer. Eligible students enrolled in specific courses are also eligible for the package.

To install the suite, please complete the following steps to access the Adobe downloads.

• Browse to creativecloud.adobe.com.
• Click the Sign In link in the top right-hand corner.
• Enter your full IUP email address. This would be in the format username@iup.edu where your username is what you use to log in to IUP Services.
  • Do not use your IUP email alias for this step of the process. The email alias is only used for sending email to your account. If you use the email alias, you will get a free trial version of Adobe.
  • You may see two options: Personal Account or Work or School Account. Select Work or School Account. 
• Click Continue, then select Company or School Account.
• You will be prompted by the IUP Web Single Sign-on. Log in with your IUP computing account credentials.
• When logged in, under the Quick links to the right of the screen, click Install Creative Cloud app.
• If the "Permission May be Required" screen displays, click OK.
• The Application will begin to download and install.
• After Creative Cloud is installed, you need to launch it from your desktop.
• Sign in to the desktop app with your IUP computing account credentials
• From the Creative Cloud desktop app, select the applications you want to install (e.g., Lightroom).
