Question

Why doesn't Illustrator show up in my creative cloud when that is the only subscription I have?

I have an adobe illustrator subscription but when I try to get to the place to install it only shows the Ai Beta in the creative clout desktop. Help! I need this for a class I’m trying to take and it’s urgent.

    Do you have an ARM-based device, like a Surface Pro X?
