How to access the Adobe Software and services:
- All Adobe software can be accessed using your RCCD single sign-on [SSO] credentials.
If you have not done so, please sign into myapplications.microsoft.com and enroll. Please note: If you have never enrolled in myapplications.microsoft.com,
you may be asked to update your password in order to comply with minimum password
complexity requirements. If you update your password, it will be changed for all SSO
services including your RCCD email login, your RCCD computer login and your RCCD Wi-Fi
login as well as any other SSO & directory-based services that are assigned to you.
- After you have enrolled in https://myapplications.microsoft.com/, visit https://www.adobe.com and select the “Sign In” link at the top of the page.
- On the “Sign in” page enter your RCCD/College email address and click the Continue button.
- Select the “Company or School Account” option.
- After signing in, you’ll be able to manage your personal Adobe account settings, download
any applications that you’re licensed for, and access any files that you have saved
to the Adobe Cloud.
- Important: Please do not install Adobe Creative Cloud software on your RCCD workstation. Not
all RCCD workstations are compatible with Adobe Creative Cloud Software. Installing
this software on your workstation can consume a significant amount of memory and hard
disk space which may interfere with other software that has been installed on your
workstation. If you would like your RCCD workstation evaluated for compatibility with
Adobe Creative Cloud software, please submit a work order to the helpdesk.
What to do if you already have Adobe software installed on your workstation:
If you already have Adobe software installed on your workstation, you do not need to download and install Adobe Creative Cloud software. You will be able to continue using the software installed on your workstation, although you may eventually be prompted to sign in using your RCCD SSO credentials, as described above. If you would like your RCCD workstation evaluated for compatibility with Adobe Creative Cloud software, some workstations are not compatible, then please submit a work order to the helpdesk at ServiceDesk or contact them at helpdesk@rccd.edu or 951-222-8388.
