Cloud + Email does not include licenses for Microsoft 365 desktop apps installed on a computer or Adobe Creative Cloud.

Employees with Cloud + Desktop Apps receive everything included with Cloud + Email, plus:

  • Microsoft 365 desktop apps for Windows and macOS, including Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote
  • Adobe Creative Cloud, including Acrobat Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator, and other Creative Cloud apps
  • 100 GB of email storage

Which license do I need?

Employees who use a Drexel-owned computer require Cloud + Desktop Apps.

If you do not use a Drexel-owned computer but need Microsoft 365 desktop apps or Adobe Creative Cloud to perform your job duties, your department may request the appropriate licensing based on your role and business requirements.

These licenses do not determine access to all Drexel-provided software. Other applications may be available based on your University affiliation.

Help and support

If you have questions about your licensing or software access, contact the Drexel IT Help Desk.
