Creative Cloud lab locations

The following computer labs have the full suite of Creative Cloud apps available:


Obtaining a Company or School Adobe ID

All active Beloit College faculty, students, and staff will receive an email from notifications@adobe.com upon enrollment or employment with the college, or during our yearly license renewal. This email contains information on accessing Adobe Express and indicates that your Adobe ID is active. You can now sign into Creative Cloud on a public lab computer.

If you are a faculty or staff member who needs to access Creative Cloud on your workstation or personal device, you will need a Personal Adobe ID.

 


Signing into Creative Cloud

On any of the designated computer labs listed at the top of this page, you can access the Adobe Creative Cloud suite with the following steps:

  1. Log into a lab computer that has Creative Cloud installed.

  2. Open a Creative Cloud application:

    • On a Mac lab computer: Choose an Adobe application from the dock at the bottom of the screen, or use Finder to browse the Applications folder and double-click on the Adobe app you wish to use.

    • On a PC: Double-click the “Adobe CC” folder and then double-click the app you wish to use, or click the Start button and choose the app from the Start menu.

  3. When prompted, enter your Beloit email address and click Continue.

  4. If prompted to choose “Company or School Account” or “Personal Account”, choose Company or School Account.

  5. Sign in with your Beloit username and password.

You must select Company or School ID when signing in. Signing in with a Personal ID will display an error message stating that your account is not valid or you will not see any available apps. If this happens, sign out of Creative Cloud by clicking the blue profile icon at the top right corner of the Creative Cloud desktop app, and sign in again but be sure to choose Company or School Account.

Signing Out of Creative Cloud

When you are finished using an Adobe product on a lab computer, you can simply log out of the computer in order to sign out of Creative Cloud. Optionally, you can manually log out with the following steps:

  1. Open the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop app

    • On a Mac: Click on the Creative Cloud desktop app icon in the system tray at the top of the screen or find it in the Applications folder.

    • On a PC: Open the “Adobe CC” folder on the desktop or click the Start button and find the app in the Start menu.

  2. Click the light blue Profile icon at the upper-right corner of the window.

  3. Choose Sign Out from the popup menu.
