Requirements
You need an Adobe account for employees.
Note on virtualised environments
While it is possible to install and run Adobe Creative Cloud programs in virtualised environments, thorough functionality and performance testing must be carried out. Adobe recommends testing workflows in a trial version of these products before deciding whether to use any of them. For more information, visit the Adobe website.
