This week’s Enterprise Technology & Services Tech Briefing contains information for new and returning employees and training opportunities.

Adobe Licensing Change

To Know: Adobe is changing its licensing for its Creative Cloud products, including but not limited to Adobe Photoshop, Acrobat, InDesign, and Premiere Pro. To access Creative Cloud, PSU students must now access it from a campus-owned device; students can no longer access the PSU-licensed version of Creative Cloud using VDI (Virtual Desktop Interface) on their computer or in computer labs that utilize VDI[AM1] [AM2] .  Faculty and staff can still access Adobe from their own device(s).

To Do: If you require access to Adobe for your class scheduled in this room(s) you have two options: 

  1. Move the class(es) to a location that provides students access to Adobe Creative Cloud. To do so, please contact the Registrar’s Office at 603-535-2345 or email  
    psu-registrar@plymouth.edu 
  2. If there is no suitable classroom available, contact Enterprise Technology & Services to explore alternate solutions by submitting a request HERE
