Adobe Creative Cloud

  • Faculty and staff members need to activate their Adobe account before using Adobe services
    • Faculty and staff members can install Adobe products on their personal devices, which is why account activation is necessary
  • To activate, faculty/staff members should log into their FSU portal
  • On the left side of the page, choose "Benefits and Resources" drop down menu
  • Choose "Adobe Login" and sign in to activate acount
  • Student accounts are automatically set up and should not require activation
    • Students cannot install Adobe products onto their personal devices
  • Students who are having trouble logging into their accounts should contact Adobe

Honorlock

  • Honorlock is a Google Chrome extension, so technically it can be added to Chrome on BOTH the rental Macbooks and PC laptops
  • HOWEVER, the screen mirroring feature is disabled on the rental Macbooks, and enabling the feature requires administrative login credentials, which we do not have to give out
  • Anyone having this issue should check out a PC laptop rather than a Macbook
