Addressing common issues, with a focus on LTS-managed Adobe licenses, which you may encounter.
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 does my application say “Start your 7 Day Free Trial of …” but the Creative Cloud app buttons say “Install”?

There appears to have been a thankfully short-lived issue on Adobe’s license activation related servers. You are logged in correctly, see the expected “Install” or “Open” buttons next to the installable applications in the Creative Cloud app, yet would be shown a pop-up notification like that below. This appears to have been resolved on Adobe’s end. It is recommended that users affected by this Sign out with Creative Cloud first, then Sign in with Creative Cloud again. This deactivates, then reactivates licenses and should correct the issue.
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 Account exists with that email address. If not, you will automatically be forwarded to Lehigh’s Single Sign-On page. If so, you will be presented with the "Select an account" page. To access your LTS-managed Adobe Account you must select “Company or School Account.”
