The Creative Cloud suite includes Acrobat Pro, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Lightroom, Illustrator, InDesign, Bridge, Dreamweaver, Audition, Flash, Acrobat, After Effects, Animate, and Fireworks. See the full list of products included. Through the full suite of Adobe CC products, students, faculty, and staff members have access to a host of creative tools for digital imaging, design, web, and video, as well as online services including free storage for files. Adobe apps are also available on computers in many of CU Boulder’s computing labs

For those who already purchased a subscription at Adobe.com, Adobe will allow subscription cancellations for no fee or penalty. Before you cancel your subscription with Adobe, we suggest purchasing a new license through the university to assure no gap in access to the software. After purchasing through the university, contact Adobe support and mention that you are a student or employee at the University of Colorado Boulder, and that you are provided Adobe Creative Cloud by the university.
