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 set up the account themselves using SeviRe. They need to log in to SeviRe to do this.
The following information concerning the Adobe accounts is required:
- First name and surname
- Primary RWTH e-mail address
No RWTH username is required to set up an account. In the event that the transmitted primary email address is a functional address, please change this in RWTHcontacts first.
Note! Adobe licenses are only intended for official use. |
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: |
