New Accounts
Adobe Creative Cloud accounts are created automatically each night. If you see a “Try” or “Buy” prompt, your MIT license may not be active yet. Please wait up to 24 hours after your account has been activated, then try signing in again.
If it has been more than 24 hours and you still cannot access Adobe Creative Cloud using your MIT Kerberos credentials, contact the IS&T Service Desk for assistance.
Existing Accounts
If you have an existing personal Adobe account associated with your MIT email address, it will remain separate from your MIT-provided, Touchstone-enabled Adobe account. To transfer any files or assets from your personal account to your MIT account, see IS&T’s Knowledgebase article on migrating Adobe Creative Cloud content.
