Step 4: Terms and Conditions
The membership will be processed and linked to your account. Before you can start to download applications you need to accept the terms and conditions from Adobe. We encourage you to read these and understand the agreement. These terms are from Adobe and can not be altered by CSU Fullerton.
Step 5: Membership Term
Once you have accepted the terms and conditions Adobe CC will activate your account and show you your renewal date. The date is renewed a year from the day you activate your account. If you need to activate your account next year and require a subscription fee you will need to use the same process as you did to first order the software from CSUF.
Step 6: Get Started
You may now use the "Get Started" button to download the Adobe CC software management tool. You can then pick and choose which software you want to download onto your computer.
ADOBE CREATIVE CLOUD DOWNLOAD AND UPDATE APPLICATION
After you have success activated your Creative Cloud service you can finally start the process of downloading your applications. Adobe CC allows you full access to their products and you only need to download those applications you want to use. Link to Download Adobe Cloud Application.
The cloud provides you all the installation files but the actual software will be run from your computer. While you have the ability to store your files in the cloud you will need the software loaded on the local computer to make updates to those files.
The Creative Cloud service comes with a manager application which helps you to download new software products, keep existing products up to date, and see your files on the cloud service. Simply find the application you want to install and press the install button.
The download process will automatically start. Be sure that you are connected to a reliable internet source and we recommend that you use an wired connection when possible although it is not required.
A percentage download will show for the application you are downloading. If you are downloading multiple applications you will see a separate indicator next to each application.
These files can be very large and take anywhere from just a few minutes to significant blocks of time depending on your connection speed.
Adobe will detect your system settings and download the most appropriate software to your machine so there is need to worry about a PC vs Mac version. After the software has been downloaded and installed you can being using it immediately. Adobe CC will require you to sign in using your Adobe ID for the first time and periodically may ask for it after that point.
Run the manager at any time to keep your applications updated with the latest fixes from Adobe.
