People using Adobe Creative Cloud applications may see notices about purchasing a trial or find that they've been logged out. These disruptions are due to console updates Adobe has been working on.

Logging out of Adobe Creative Cloud and then logging back in can resolve many of these challenges. If issues persist, please reach out to the Technology Help Desk.

According to Adobe the License Expiration Notice should no longer pop up.  While the expiration notice is annoying and inaccurate, the notice states "you can still use this application".  We are sorry for this inconvenience. 

You may see a notice in an Adobe Creative Cloud application that reads “Your license has expired. But you can still use this application for [x] days.” 

The vendor notified us today that our users may erroneously see this notification and they are working on a solution.

For now, you can choose “OK” and log back in as you would normally with your MHC email and credentials.

We will post updates here.

LITS has been investigating faculty reports of missing applications or inconsistent user experiences on some classroom podium computers.  Impacted systems appear to be iMacs running an updated version of the Mac operating system. We believe this may be the result of setup processes being interrupted, leaving the computer in an incomplete state.  Our staff are currently working to apply a fix.  We appreciate the patience and understanding of impacted faculty.  

This issue should be fixed by Thursday, 9/15/2022.  Please report any further issues to the LITS Help Desk

The outage this past Saturday has been completed. The Kendade Machine Room is now operating as usual.

On Saturday 7/16 from 6-10am, LITS will be conducting a planned power outage in the Kendade Machine Room. We do not anticipate that people will experience any impact during the outage, but our networking team will be monitoring and able to address any unanticipated impacts.

If you have questions about how this may affect you, please contact helpdesk@mtholyoke.edu before Saturday.
