A Note on Changes to Access
As part of Adobe's commitment to make the power of Adobe creativity skills available to every student, they recently released a major update to Adobe Express. Get more information here. There will be a change to how Adobe Express is accessed via the Creative Cloud Shared Device Access for Higher Education (SDA) product.
Beginning on September 30, 2023, Adobe is removing Adobe Express from the SDA product profile. If you have a named user license for Creative Cloud All Apps or Adobe Express for Higher Education, you will still have access to the Adobe Express web and mobile apps.
Note: If you do not have a named user license of Adobe Express for Higher Education or Creative Cloud All Apps, you will no longer be able to log into Adobe Express using your OHIO ID starting on September 30, 2023.
If you want to access your Adobe Express projects after September 30, 2023, you must create a free personal Adobe Express account and transfer your Adobe Express projects to the personal account. You would own and control the assets in the personal Adobe Express account. You can create a free account at express.adobe.com, and transfer your assets with this process.
