Step-by-Step Guide for Installing and Activating Adobe Creative Cloud in DepEd DCP E-Learning Cart Package (ELC)

The Department of Education (DepEd) is rolling out Adobe Creative Cloud licenses for 2022-2024 DCP E-Learning Cart Package (ELC) laptops to enhance digital learning. As part of this initiative, all DepEd-issued laptops provided to secondary and central schools must have the Adobe Package installed and activated before March 31, 2025.

Since the installer is large, the most efficient way to install it on multiple laptops is to download it once and copy it manually to each device using a USB or external drive.

To ensure a smooth installation, follow the detailed step-by-step guide below.

🔗 Step 1: Download the Adobe Installer

✅ Important: You must be logged into your DepEd-issued Microsoft 365 account to access and download the installer.

How to Download the Installer:

1️⃣ Log in to Microsoft 365

  • Open your browser and go to Microsoft 365.

  • Sign in using your DepEd-issued Microsoft account credentials.

2️⃣ Download the Adobe Package

  • Click on the provided download link: https://bit.ly/Adobe_Installer

  • Locate "Adobe Package for DCP ELC 2022-2023-2024_en_US_WIN_64.zip".

  • Click Download and wait for the process to complete.

✅ Note: The file is large and may take time to download depending on your internet connection speed.

🗂️ Step 2: Copy and Extract the File

📂 After downloading the installer:

1️⃣ Copy the file to a USB or external drive

  • If multiple laptops need installation, use a USB drive to avoid downloading the file repeatedly.

2️⃣ Extract the Installer Files

  • Locate the downloaded .zip file.

  • Right-click the file and select "Extract All..." or use WinRAR/7-Zip.

  • Choose a folder for extraction (e.g., **C:\AdobeInstaller**).

  • Click Extract and wait for the process to complete.

🖥️ Step 3: Install the Adobe Package

⚙️ After extracting the files:

1️⃣ Open the extracted folder

  • Locate the Setup.exe or Installer.exe file.

2️⃣ Run the Installer

  • Double-click the installer to start the setup.

  • Click Yes if prompted by the User Account Control (UAC).

  • Follow the on-screen instructions:
    ✅ Select the default installation folder (unless otherwise specified).
    ✅ Accept the End User License Agreement (EULA).
    ✅ Click Install and wait for completion.

🔐 Step 4: Activate and Verify Installation

✅ Activation Process:
Most DepEd-issued laptops come pre-configured with a valid license. However, if prompted for activation:

  • Sign in using the Adobe ID or Enterprise ID provided by DepEd.

✅ Verification:

  • Open any installed Adobe application (Photoshop, Acrobat, Illustrator, etc.).

  • Ensure that the software launches without errors and is properly activated.

🖥️ Step 5: Repeat the Process for Remaining Laptops

📚 Since multiple laptops require installation:

  • Use the same USB/external drive to copy and install the package on each device.

  • Ensure all devices are properly installed and activated before submission.

📢 Additional Reminders for Deployment:

✅ Log in to Microsoft 365 First

  • Always sign in to your DepEd Microsoft 365 account before accessing the download link.

✅ Use a USB Drive for Multiple Devices

  • This saves time and prevents repeated large downloads.

✅ Check Available Disk Space

  • Ensure each laptop has enough storage before extracting and installing.

✅ Troubleshooting Installation Errors

  • If the installer doesn’t run, try "Run as Administrator".

  • If errors occur, check for corrupted files or re-download the installer.

  • For further assistance, contact your DepEd IT Support Team.

🎉 Final Check and Confirmation

✅ After installation, verify that:

  • All Adobe applications open and function correctly.

  • The software is properly activated and licensed.

  • The installation report is prepared for submission.

📌 Installation reports must be submitted before April 1, 2025, via email to ictu.region1@deped.gov.ph.

By following these steps, all DepEd-issued laptops will be fully equipped with Adobe applications, enhancing digital learning for teachers and students. If you encounter any issues, seek assistance from your division’s IT officer. 😊
