Troubleshooting
CREATIVE CLOUD APP - ONLY TRIALS
Sometimes when running the Creative Cloud app programs such as Photoshop or Acrobat DC will show "Start Trial" instead of "Install". This can occurr if you have registered an Adobe Personal Account using your school email address prior to being set up through ITS. In order to fix this you will need to do the following:
- Click the blue circle icon on the upper right of Creative Cloud and sign out of your account
- On the log in page that appears sign back in with your @anderson.edu email
- When prompted to select the blue PERSONAL or orange WORK or SCHOOL account select WORK or SCHOOL
- After signing in the license should update and show "Install" for all programs
