New to Adobe Cloud

[timbo343]

We have just got our first Adobe Cloud subscription, mainly for Photoshop but I was under the impression that Illustrator, Premier Pro all had the option to use in the browser too but it seems that these are installer applications only.

 

As the applications are installers, do we install the applications as normal and then if the user has a valid license assigned to them, they can sign in to the app on the local machine and use the application?

Yes you can install creative cloud and any of the programs. When the user opens them they get prompted to log in with whatever the associated account is e.g. a school office 365 account @schoolname.sch.uk

Using the Adobe site you can build packages, for all the items you have licenced (MSI files), You also must add all the users who will be using the Adobe software as they have to separately login into Adobe CC. When the software is run, the computer will connect to Adobe CC and check if it is licenced, and how many computers the software is being used on (and refuse to exceed the number of computers you have licenced).

Warning Adobe software is large, 4+ GB / package. When installing / updating a room, boot times can be 30+ minutes

Thanks, I have set up SSO with our Google Workspace so was hoping that the users who were licensed to use the Adobe applications just login to the applications with their Google accounts.

It also depends how many users you've got, and what programs from the suite they use.

 

We're only very light users, so I deploy the Adobe Creative Cloud app with nothing else, and enable to option to allow users to install whichever apps they want on demand.

 

I must admit things have fallen by the wayside a bit for us, though, it's not being heavily used by many, except me!

You should buy it if there is a use case for it, but not if there isn't as its not cheap!

 

For example we needed it for IT lessons due to a change in curriculum so they use Dreamweaver, Animate, Illustrator and Media Converter in the IT dept now and I thought great the licences can be used in other areas if DT wanted to use Illustrator or InDesign thats cool they can now and if art wanted to use Photoshop now then can too.

 

I had it agreed at governor level that we would licence 70% of the school every year so now departments know they can use that software in their classes year on year if they need to.

 

Overall the software could be a bit easier to package/distribute/update/cache but for end users, it's great.
