Adobe Creative Cloud at Texas A&M University

Overview

Texas A&M University has centrally funded Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Creative Cloud licenses, for up to two devices, through April 2025. The license covers specific TAMU System entities listed below. The license does not include students or student workers, though students may use their NetID@tamu.edu account to access Creative Cloud applications in all main campus computer labs or on any University-owned devices provisioned with an Adobe Creative Cloud “shared device license” by an IT Administrator. Working retirees employed by the university are included in this license, but non-working retirees are not.

Note: All Adobe Creative Cloud licenses will be distributed and assigned to licensed entity faculty and staff NetID@tamu.edu addresses. As a result, any existing Adobe licenses assigned to a boutique TAMU address (e.g. @mays.tamu.edu) will require manual asset migration to the new NetID@tamu.edu account.

Shared device licenses are not applicable in Virtual lab environments where a named user license is still required.

For licensed entity members previously licensed for Adobe products from their department please contact your IT administrator or Help Desk Central at 979.845.8300 if you require assistance migrating your Adobe Cloud files. You may also see our migration documentation in KB0021592.

What should I do if I'm unable to sign-in and access my Adobe Creative Cloud subscription?

Check if you have multiple email aliases (a different email address for the same TAMU email account), and make sure you are signing in with your netid@tamu.edu, and not alias@tamu.edu.

For example, if your NetID is "netid", but you use "alias@tamu.edu" to receive your email, make sure you use "netid@tamu.edu" instead when logging into the Adobe Website/Software.
