Adobe Creative Cloud: Employees
As an employee of the UU you can make use of the new Adobe Creative Cloud and the other applications like Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator that are part of the suite.
Have you had an older version of (one of) the Adobe applications on your Solis-computer from the UU? Then you will automatically have the rights to the new version.
Are you going to use Adobe CC for the first time? Then you can request the licence for the application through this form in the Selfservice portal*.
*Note: You can only request the licence if you are an employee at the UU.

Do you have a Solis-PC or laptop? Then you will find Adobe CC in the Software Center.
