Access and use of Adobe ETLA
Every user needs an account in Adobe Admin Console of RWTH to be able to use licenses within the contract of „Adobe ETLA Point Consortium”. The use of licenses via a colleague's account is not permitted. The IT purchaser of your institute can apply for the account by sending an e-mail to the IT-ServiceDesk.
The following information concerning the Adobe accounts are stored:
- First name
- Last name
- Primary RWTH e-mail address
Additionally for creating an account, we need an order confirmation from the Software-Shop so that we can assign the licence to the person.
Note! Adobe licenses are only intended for official use. You are not allowed to store data in the Adobe Cloud. All services from Adobe based on Cloud are deactivated. |
A self-management of the accounts via SeviRe is planned in future.
Checking the primary e-mail address
During the registration on Adobe it is important to use the e-mail address that is provided in the RWTH Single Sign-On data. If a user has several e-mail addresses at the RWTH, it is possible that the wrong e-mail address is stored by Adobe. In this case, one of the following error messages is shown: |
To find out the primary e-mail address, please do the following.
Go to the page https://www.adobe.com/de/ an click on "Login" on the top right. You will see a login window. Enter myname@rwth-aachen.de and click Continue.
