<p class="MsoNormal">Good Afternoon,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are excited to share with you the new model for licensing Adobe Acrobat Professional and Adobe Creative Cloud (formerly Creative Suite) at MIT. Effective immediately, Adobe Acrobat is available to all faculty and staff for use on Institute-owned
equipment at no cost to departments, laboratories and centers (DLCs). Also available to faculty and staff are the desktop applications in Adobe Creative Cloud (formerly Creative Suite), such as Photoshop and Dreamweaver. The software can also be used in computer
laboratories by students, but is not licensed for students’ personal computers. We are offering the Adobe Enterprise Licenses to DLCs without charge as part of our ongoing effort to eliminate chargebacks and to enhance our services for the MIT community.<b> </b></p>
