Policy Information

  • The work-at-home functionality is only available to those that have a Named User License (NUL).
  • You will only be allowed to login with your Named User License on two computers (including your work machines) at any given time so choose wisely when moving between your TCU owned and personal devices.
  • Work-at-home functionality is to be used solely for employment related purposes. The software is not owned by the university employee and there is no option to purchase a perpetual license. However, faculty and staff may purchase personal subscription of Adobe CC on their own if they have needs that are not work related.
  • Named licenses require periodic Internet connectivity.  Computers must connect to Adobe servers for initial activation, and then at least once every 99 days.
  • Technology support on personally owned devices that are using this software is limited (see support section below).

Installation Instructions
