How to access the Adobe Software and services: 

1. All Adobe software can be accessed using your RCCD single sign-on [SSO] credentials. If you have not done so, please sign into myapplications.microsoft.com and enroll. Please note: If you have never enrolled in myapplications.microsoft.com, you may be asked to update your password in order to comply with minimum password complexity requirements. If you update your password, it will be changed for all SSO services including your RCCD email login, your RCCD computer login and your RCCD Wi-Fi login as well as any other SSO & directory-based services that are assigned to you.

6. Important: Please do not install Adobe Creative Cloud software on your RCCD workstation. Not all RCCD workstations are compatible with Adobe Creative Cloud Software. Installing this software on your workstation can consume a significant amount of memory and hard disk space which may interfere with other software that has been installed on your workstation. If you would like your RCCD workstation evaluated for compatibility with Adobe Creative Cloud software, please submit a work order to the helpdesk.
   
   
   

What to do if you already have Adobe software installed on your workstation:

You will be able to continue using the software installed on your workstation, although you may eventually be prompted to sign in using your RCCD SSO credentials, as described above. If you would like your RCCD workstation evaluated for compatibility with Adobe Creative Cloud software, some workstations are not compatible, then please submit a work order to the helpdesk at ServiceDesk​ or contact them at helpdesk@rccd.edu or 951-222-8388​.
