As you close it, so does the application. Well, what now? Thankfully, this article will go over that very question, showing you how to gain access to the Adobe Creative Cloud within the EML.

Logging into Adobe with your Emerson Account

Typically, the "Update Required" window is encountered when a user has not logged into the Adobe Creative Cloud. Whenever you log into a workstation within the EML, a browser window automatically opens up to the login page for the Adobe Creative Cloud.

If you intend on using any Adobe application, you will need to first login using your Emerson email and password, then complete the Duo authentication process. Once done, feel free to (re)launch your Adobe application of choice.

That is alright, no need to worry! You are able to also login through the Adobe Creative Cloud application on your Workstation. First, click the Adobe Creative Cloud executable on the desktop or Start Menu.
