Brief description of the service and overview of purpose of Q&A
Why do I see “Try” and “Buy” buttons and not “Install”?
The most likely reason is that your Creative Cloud Desktop app is not logged into your LTS-created account. The solution is easy and quick, and no uninstallation or reinstallation is required at all.
Why am I being asked to to select an account when logging in?
If asked to select an account you must select “Company or School Account” or you will sign into your LTS-managed Adobe Account.
You can avoid being presented with this choice by entering just "lehigh.edu" into the email address field when signing in.
If you entered an email address on the Sign In page—and not the domain name "lehigh.edu" by itself—Adobe will check to see if a personal Adobe ID¹ exists with that email address. If not, you will automatically be forwarded to Lehigh’s Single Sign-On page. If a personal Adobe ID does exist with your email address, you will be presented with the "Select an account" page. To access your LTS-managed Adobe Account you must select “Company or School Account.”
¹ Adobe’s Sign In page allows you to create and log into an Adobe ID, which is a personal Adobe Account, through multiple Identity Providers, such as Google, Facebook, Apple, as well as Adobe itself. Confusingly for many, a personal account with an Adobe ID may use the same email address as your LTS-managed “Company or School Account” but they are completely separate accounts. Personal Adobe ID accounts are not supported by LTS, only “Company or School Accounts.”
