How to set up Adobe Creative Cloud (walk-through)

Setting up your account

Once you’ve been invited to set up an education account, you will have an email from Adobe titled “Access is granted. Enjoy All Apps for K-12 now.” Search your school emails for “Adobe” if you can’t find it.

Click the button labelled “Get Started“. It opens a new tab. Set your region to Australia and enter your new account password. This password does not have to be the same as your school account.

Press “Continue” and read the terms of service. If you agree to the terms, tick the box for “I have read and accepted the Terms of Use”, then click “Continue”. This finalizes your account.

Downloading & installing Creative Cloud

Download the Creative Cloud installer and run it. If you’re on Windows, it will ask to make changes to your device — click “Yes” to continue installing.

The installer prompts you to open a browser window to add your account, click “Continue”. If the window asks you to sign in again, use the account you just created. Once it says “feel free to close this browser tab”, you can close the tab and go back to the installer. You may have to wait a second before continuing.

Click on “Start Installing” and wait for the installation to finish. This can take upwards of 10 minutes on home internet connections.

Installing apps

You can download any apps your account has access to. For Design and Technology, you will require Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign.
