How to Access Adobe Applications on Shared Devices

When you log into one of our devices with the Adobe suite available on it, you will want to follow the following instructions exactly:

1. Log in to the device you want to use.

   1. Launch an Adobe application on the shared device. 

      1. When this happens you will be prompted to sign in with your credentials sign in with your Westminster login only. It will show a prompt that looks like this:

Open

2. If it states that you “don’t have an account”, you will have to create one. We highly prefer that you use your “Westminster Email”, but other emails are currently accepted.

• A shared device license does not directly entitle a user to access any services such as storage, libraries, fonts, or Adobe Stock, among others.

• Adobe Cloud Sync is also unavailable on these devices. Please make sure to back up your work with OneDrive.

• Most devices on campus do NOT have Adobe access. There are several spaces on campus and some special-use devices that have access, though most of these are shared spaces such as the Library, the Design Lab, the Maker Lab on the top of Converse, and the Photo Lab.
