Named User licensing - Adobe Portfolio/Behance

[billm75979940]

Hi we have a Creative Cloud for education | K–12 School Named User  license, but without Adobe Portfolio/Behance. It's free now for schools during this time, but it's not listed in our Adobe Admin Console to turn on. Anyone know of a way to activate it for our students now? It works for adobe accounts not tied to our Named User license.

Hi there, 

Behance is not included in K-12 Named user licenses because it doesn't comply with COPPA guidelines as it might contain content that is not suitable for consumption by K-12 students.

Let us know if this helps pr of you have any more queries.

Thank you! I thought COPPA might be the reason. What about for teachers? We are looking for a way for teachers to spotlight work

Hi! What about Portfolio? We have used it in years past for our 8th grade photography class... it works seamlessly with Lightroom, which is what our kids use to take their photographs... the portfolio was a great way to showcase their work in Lightroom and in Adobe spark. Our school has now blocked our access stating to us that  "The explanation from Adobe includes the Portfolio product.  I cannot allow it if Adobe doesn't allow it."

portfolio can be password protected... we do not need behance, and are wondering why they are chunking both these programs together for k-12, as unusable... 

thanks for any guidance..

Hi @mrsoakes-odyssey,

Thank you for reaching out. Upon checking, it appears you have been assigned an All Apps K–12 license through your school administrator. Please note that Adobe Portfolio and Behance are not included in K–12 Named User licenses. This is due to compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), as these platforms may contain content that is not appropriate for minors.

For more information, please refer to Adobe’s K–12 privacy policy here:

We hope this clarifies the situation. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out.

Regards,

Hi Ashish,

Hi Ashish,

My user was created with my email(Edited by moderator; Email removed, please refrain from sharing your personal information as this is a public forum), for more than 10 years in which I have uploaded different projects throughout my professional career.

Here is the link to my account: https://www.behance.net/renzovargas

The problem comes when today I activated a business/educational account, without fully knowing the consequences, I logged into my account and without knowing that my behance account would be lost, I entered the option “move all files to the business cloud storage”.

Without knowing the consequences of what could happen to my Behance account, which I have not been able to recover, I have already tried several times to log in with the personal and business profile, but I can not log in to my behance account as usual, it appears as if it were a new account completely from 0, this affects me greatly as I had important projects in that account.

Please, your answer.
