Get unlimited Adobe Express for K12 Education licenses and manage them through the Google Admin Console.

Overview

Adobe has partnered with Google to offer free Adobe Express for K12 Education licenses to all teachers and students in a school or district through Google App Licensing. Google App Licensing allows IT admins to provision, delegate, set up, and manage Adobe Express licenses all within the Google Admin console. Existing Adobe Express customers who primarily use Chromebooks can sign up for App Licensing, as can Chromebook schools or districts that have never deployed Adobe Express for K12.

K12 schools and districts get free, unlimited Adobe Express licenses.
A license isn't counted as used until the assigned student attempts to sign in to Adobe Express. License provisioning happens at the time of sign-in.
Existing Adobe Express for K12 customers that have managed licenses through the Adobe Admin Console can still request licenses through Google App Licensing. Nothing will change about the existing district setup except that Adobe will now consider the Google Admin Console for checking the license state for each user.

Pre-requisites

For App Licensing to work for Adobe Express, schools or districts must:

Be a valid Local Education Agency (LEA).
Have a current VIP or ETLA agreement in place with Adobe. If not, here's how to get a new Adobe Express for K12 organization account.
Have an IT Admin with a super-admin role on the Google Admin Console fill out the App Licensing request form.
Ensure that Google SSO is configured and auto-account creation is turned on in the Adobe Admin Console.

Directory settings page in the Admin Console showing auto-account creation enabled for Google OIDC — Verify that the Google OIDC card is present and that auto-account creation is enabled.

Request Licenses

As an IT admin, you can request licenses here if your school or district is new to Adobe or already has the free Adobe Express for K12 Education offer.

Once you submit the request, you receive an email to redeem licenses via the Google App Licensing.

Select Adobe Express and then select Force install + pin to ChromeOS taskbar under installation policy.

ملاحظة:

Admins don't need to force install the application to the Chrome taskbar if there are other school or district preferences for making learning applications visible to students on Chromebooks. If you choose not to force-install the application on ChromeOS, use this link in bookmarks or other shortcuts.

Launching the application

Once Adobe Express is installed on Chromebooks and licenses are requested for all students, classrooms across the school or district should be able to sign in seamlessly. Students can open their Chromebooks and select the Adobe Express icon on the Chrome taskbar to open Express.

If the Adobe Express icon doesn't appear on the taskbar, do the following:

Open the Launcher in the bottom-left corner and select Adobe Express.
Visit the Express website. The student will be signed in since they are already logged in with their Google account on their Chromebook.
If the student isn't signed in automatically, they'll see the Adobe Express sign-in page. They must select Continue with Google and enter their school email address.
