About Comprehensive Contract of Adobe Creative Cloud (Adobe CC) 

 

Notice 

This is an important notice for users of Adobe Creative Cloud (Adobe CC) who are using accounts with the @u domain. 

Adobe CC uses Microsoft 365 authentication. However, we have identified an issue where the use of Japanese characters in usernames can cause certain malfunctions. 

 

To address this, we are currently updating the system settings so that usernames in Adobe CC will be based on the “UTID-NAME” format. 

Currently, both the full name and UTID-NAME may be displayed together. Starting Sunday, May 25, 2025, the given name field will display the UTID-NAME, and the surname field will be unified as “u.tsukuba”. 

There will be no changes to available features or services. 

If you would like to change the display name (the name visible to others on Adobe’s cloud services), you can do so by: 

Adobe CC Desktop App → Account Management → Edit Profile → Profile Name

If you encounter issues such asUnable to verify subscription status” 

or error code 20400, please refer to the PDF titled “How to Handle Adobe CC Error Messages” for guidance. 

 

You may also try the following alternatives:

Use the web version of Acrobat if you only need Acrobat

As previously announced on the Faculty and Staff Portal under ”Upcoming Changes to Adobe CC Authentication (Scheduled for September 2), the authentication method for users who access Adobe CC via @un email addresses under the university’s site license was changed on September 2.
