Step 5: Once the installer window opens sign in to your Adobe account with your school credentials.

Subscription Options
You might not need every program in the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite due to their extensiveness. If you only require two of the 20+ programs, why would you spend the money on them? You don’t have to, though.
The full subscription plan, which provides access to all the apps and services, currently costs $91.42 per month or $60.94 per month over the course of a year. Students are eligible for discounts, and Black Friday and other significant events typically result in price reductions for all plans from Adobe.
You can only subscribe to that plan if you want a single piece of software. You’ll have access to the single program as well as other cloud features like Adobe Portfolio, Adobe Fonts, cloud storage, and others.
Adobe also offers curated plans, such as the Photography plan, which comes with 20GB of cloud storage and includes Lightroom and Photoshop. You can access curated 3D plans for those programs, including Painter, Designer, Stager, and Sampler, as a result of Adobe’s acquisition of Substance 3D, even though it isn’t a component of Creative Cloud.
Adobe Portfolio and Behance
The majority of visual artists prefer to showcase their work online in portfolios. You don’t need a CC to use Behance, which is owned by Adobe. However, CC subscribers can directly integrate their work with Behance through the cloud.
Similar functionality is provided by Adobe Portfolio, but this is only available to cloud subscribers. Using one of Adobe Portfolio’s templates, you can create an online portfolio that is hosted by Adobe for as long as you have an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription. Your portfolio is inaccessible if your subscription is canceled.
These are both excellent tools that give you a variety of options for sharing and presenting your work with a larger audience. You can participate in the Adobe XD Creative Challenge and share your work there if you use Behance.
Conclusion
Adobe creative cloud provides varieties of programs to choose from depending on your profession. Additionally, there are a series of subscription plans, which includes Individuals, Business, Students & Teachers, and Schools & Universities.
Before you leave, check out this free online word, it’s flexible and easy to use. Plus your files are automatically stored in the cloud, which means you can access it anywhere and at anytime.
