Adobe Creative Cloud for Employees

The Adobe Creative Cloud includes a variety of creative applications for both desktop and mobile usage. Whether looking to edit files with Adobe Acrobat Pro DC or design graphics using Illustrator, the software allows your productivity and creativity to shine. San José State faculty, staff, and administrators are eligible to receive Adobe software for both their campus computers and their home computers. The software may only be used for SJSU-related activities and may not be used for commercial purposes. Licenses are only available to currently employed faculty, staff and administrators at San Jose State University.

Check to see if you already have access and to request a personal Adobe account:
