what you need to know
what is adobe creative cloud and do i need it?
Adobe Creative Cloud is a collection of software for graphic design, video editing, web development, and photography. If you do not currently perform any of the above tasks, we do not recommend having the app installed. For a person not performing such tasks as part of his essential job functions, the entire suite of applications would take up a significant and unnecessary amount of storage space and system resources on a computer.

How quickly will my request be fulfilled?
We appreciate your patience as we prioritize all support requests. we will attend to installation requests in the order they are received.
How long does it take to install the software?
The installation process takes about 1.5 hours to install each application. the software can be installed remotely by a technician. desktop installations will be done remotely to quickly roll out the software to as many people as possible. if you have a laptop, a technician will connect remotely or you can schedule an appointment to drop off your computer.
