    • Click on the Start menu.
    • Click on All Apps
    • Look for Adobe Creative Cloud and open the program.
  • Mac:
    • Click on the desktop, and then the Go menu at the top of the screen.
    • Select Applications.

To the left is a filter for looking for specific types of Adobe applications. At the top is a search bar, if you know exactly which Adobe app you want. The main part of the window allows you to browse all Adobe apps, with the more popular ones being at the top. Any Adobe app listed is available to Tarleton faculty and staff.

Click Install on any app you wish to install. It will then download and install the latest version in the background. You may click Install on as many apps as you like, but keep in mind they will download and install one at a time.

When the installation is done, a new installed section will appear under Apps. This is also where you can check for updates to your Adobe apps later.
