Important Changes to Adobe Creative Cloud Licensing

Starting Summer Session 1, to allow all users of the physical computer labs access to the Adobe Creative Cloud suite, the software will be switched to Shared Device Licensing.  Following this change, due to limitations of Adobe Licensing, Adobe Creative Cloud will no longer be available in the General Purpose Virtual Lab.

If you have questions, please contact us via lab-support@caes.ucdavis.edu. Thank you.
