  • You may wish to disable auto-renewal or cancel your personal subscription.

I'm having trouble canceling my personal license since I used my @syr.edu email address with my personal Adobe ID.

  • In a web browser, open a Private/Incognito browser window.
  • Sign into your personal Adobe account at https://account.adobe.com/.
  • Use your @syr.edu email address but make sure to pick Personal and *not* school/work when asked.
  • Now that you are logged in as your personal account, you should see your paid plan and be able to click it to cancel.
  • While you are logged in, also change the email address on your personal account to something different than your @syr.edu. This will help reduce confusion in the future and you won’t have to constantly pick between personal and company/school.
  • Make sure to logout of your personal account when done.

Will I have access to the software over the summer, and between the fall and spring semesters? What about when I'm abroad in Florence, London or elsewhere?

  • Yes, as long as you are still enrolled in the degree program, you will have access to the software.
