Hello creative types! I was looking through the two computers in the CA room, and it looks like the left computer has the Adobe CS6 suite installed. I’m trying to use InDesign to make some PDF forms, but it seems you need a creative cloud login for that. Anyone know if there’s one for the space?
We don’t have a creative cloud login, as the software was purchased out-right at a reduced rate via TechSoup.
Cool… No worries. Thanks for quick reply!
This is sort of general question that might apply to any licensed software that we might get for free or cheaply at DMS. Is it possible or practical or useful to have that machine accessible via remote user login to enable users to use the software from home or elsewhere?
That is, have the software licensed for a machine at DMS such as a really good 3D modeling software or the latest photoshop or Matlab, etc. that might only be available for free to educational or non-profits. Then, instead of having to physically be at DMS to use it, a user would login into the machine and more or less use it through some sort of remote desktop app. Some products might not exactly work well like this if they were heavy graphically involved.
Don’t know enough about windows to know if it works this way, but I have done RDC (remote desktop connection) into multiuser servers where a software resource was shared.
We’ve set that up for the CAD/CAM PC I believe. It really depends on the software license if remote access is considered acceptable, often times with our reduced cost licenses there are additional stipulations on usage.
