As of March 2018, UMD and Adobe are making it easier for students, staff, and faculty to get the most from Adobe’s Creative Cloud software with two big changes to the way you log in and renew/install products. First, we’ve implemented a sign on process that’s integrated with our Central Authentication System (CAS). When signing into Adobe Creative Cloud, you should now choose the “Enterprise ID login.” You will then be directed to log in with your UMD Directory ID and password.
