**A limited site license for Adobe Creative Cloud has been purchased for Chicago Booth students for the Academic Year. All Chicago Booth students have access to this license while they are Chicago Booth students. Chicago Booth students can access their licenses by logging into Adobe with an Adobe ID and password. Use your ChicagoBooth email address as the Adobe ID. Each student can install the desktop apps on multiple devices but only two devices can be active at a time (exceptions apply for Hong Kong students).

When logging in, if you see trial versions only, sign out of your account, close your browser and wait a few minutes before trying to log in again. Contact the Chicago Booth Help Desk at helpdesk@chicagobooth.edu for installation issues.
