Software:

CLICC Laptops come with a pre-set of installed software, a list of which can be found here: CLICC Virtual Desktop Software List. Due to the nature our laptops, any software installed will be wiped after restart so no additional software can be added.


Using Adobe Suite

In order to be able to use any of the applications within Adobe Suite, you must first create an Creative Cloud account.

  1. Open the application you intend to use.
  2. You will be prompted with a popup requesting you to either sign in or create an account. If you already have an account, you may use it to sign in. Apps only launch after a successful sign-in
  3. Use your email (does not have to be your g.ucla.edu email), Google, Facebook, or Apple ID to create an account.
  4. Once the account has been created, you may close the browser.
  5. Your application should now launch and allow you to use it. Just one sign-in to Creative Cloud unlocks access to all applications.

Note: Logging in using a preexisting account will not cause any charges to your account. Students can create their own free Adobe IDs from the sign-in page and will not be charged either.


Saving Restarting or Shutting Down

Users should not store any files or assets on the computer and should instead save files to Google Drive, Dropbox, or a USB. Once users log out of or turn off the device, the computer will delete all files saved. Once the laptop has been turned down or restarted, users will be unable to recover any files that have been deleted.


ChromeBooks:

For security purposes, ChromeBooks will log close tabs and log out of accounts after 10 minutes of inactivity. There will be a warning before this happens. Please make sure to save work as appropriate.
