If an installed Adobe Creative Cloud product is prompting you for a serial number, follow these steps to bypass the screen and activate the product with your Stockton account.

Close out of Adobe and reopen the program by double-clicking the icon on the Desktop Background.  You will now see the below ‘Sign In Required’ window.  Click the blue ‘Sign In Now’ button.
