BCOE Adobe Software

We have separate licenses for Adobe Acrobat and for Adobe Creative Cloud. Acrobat is available to administrative staff, professors, and currently active TA’s. Creative Cloud is charged per user and is available to anyone if you provide us with a CoA to charge for your usage (as of August 2025, the cost is $187 billed annually).

In order to gain access to either you will need to email systems@engr.ucr.edu first.

After you have been added to a license you will need to create an Adobe account. Instructions are listed below.

If you received the link to this doc from Systems then you can proceed below.

Create an Adobe Account

1. Go to Adobe’s website and create an account with your username@engr.ucr.edu address. It is important that you use the correct address, if you do not you will have to create another account.
