Adobe Software Licensing

Campus is supplying Adobe Pro software licenses for 2023 rather licensing at the school level. If Creative Cloud Suite is needed please have a KFS account number ready for entry.

Please start by going to http://adobe.oit.uci.edu  and requesting the appropriate license for your needs. Without this, you will be only have a trial license. Computing can no longer issue the licenses as it's ONLY a self-service process now. 

For renewal of a license the same process is done from above.  There is no need for installation after a renewal or first time license request for Adobe Pro. ALL SOCIAL ECOLOGY computers have Adobe Pro preinstalled for your use. 

If Creative Cloud Suite was selected and paid for, self managed users that have administrative access to their machines can install the suite by following this link How to download and install Adobe Creative Cloud Suite. Managed users please email se.computing@uci.edu for installation assistance.

Licenses are for both PC and Mac.
