Agreement Overview
An Adobe License Agreement was executed in April 2017 and expires April 17, 2020. Under the agreement, four products are licensed:
• Creative Cloud Enterprise (All Apps)- Student (named user)
• Creative Cloud Enterprise (All Apps)- Faculty/Staff (named user)
• Creative Cloud Enterprise (All Apps)- Lab/Classroom (device)
• Document Cloud Enterprise (Acrobat Pro)- Faculty/Staff (named user)
Named user licenses are tied to individuals and an AdobeID. Device licenses are tied to specific systems. Under this contract, Adobe allows device licenses only for scenarios of lab computers where a system will have multiple student users. Faculty and Staff must be on named user licenses.
Creative Cloud Student Licenses (named user)
Three colleges/schools collectively purchased a number of student, named user Creative Cloud licenses from Adobe;
• School of Architecture
• Moody College of Communication
• College of Fine Arts
These licenses are being resold to students via the "Personal Use" links on the Campus Computer Store's online portal. Any current student can purchase a 12-month subscription that begins when a license is activated. For more information on student licensing, see the Moody Technology Blog.
Creative Cloud Faculty/Staff Licenses (named user)
Faculty/Staff Licenses (named)
Five colleges/schools/units collectively committed to annually purchase a number of Creative Cloud faculty/staff licenses for three years:
• School of Architecture
• Moody College of Communication
• College of Fine Arts
• UT Libraries
• Dell Medical School
Additional faculty/staff licenses, regardless of CSU, can be purchased with university funds for the period from the date of purchase through April 17, 2020.
Departments and Units in the Moody College will contact Moody Technology Services for licensing and installation. The current method is to IDT funds to a Moody account that funds the annual purchase and renewal. The Moody Tech Team will add and assign named user accounts using the Adobe Enterprise web tools. There are efforts underway to have this agreement's pricing set up with Campus Computers and UT Market. As these UT Market changes unfold, this purchasing method may change away from IDT to the standard UT Market shopping experience and those changes will be outlined here.
