[Editors] Fwd: [Macpartners] New Adobe Licensing Program for MIT – Acrobat Pro & Creative Cloud

Fri May 30 08:58:11 EDT 2014

Dear friends:

You may remember an email I sent last October to determine how many of you would be interested in an MIT Adobe Creative Cloud site license. As you’ll see from the email below, MIT now has such a license.

A couple of things to note:

1.IS&T recommends uninstalling all current Adobe applications prior to installing Adobe applications from the MIT Software Grid.
2. Some of us who currently use the Adobe CC subscription service signed on to one-year agreements to obtain the special $19.95 rate. If you cancel prior to the end of your contract, you will be billed 50 percent of the remaining contractual agreement.

Best,
Bill

Good Afternoon,
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.

How to Obtain
All faculty and staff can download Acrobat Professional XI<http://ist.mit.edu/acrobat> from the IS&T Software Grid.
All faculty and staff can request Adobe Creative Cloud<http://ist.mit.edu/adobe-creative-cloud> through the IS&T Software Grid.
These licenses and installers are limited to use for Institute business on MIT-owned equipment.

Getting Help
More information on Acrobat Professional and Adobe Creative Cloud can be found at:
http://ist.mit.edu/adobe-creative-cloud
Training for any of these packages can be found by searching MIT’s Lynda.com<http://lynda.com/> library:
https://lynda.mit.edu<https://lynda.mit.edu/>
Installation instructions and other documentation can be found at:
http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/x/AlsYCQ
For help with Acrobat Professional or Adobe Creative Cloud, please contact the IS&T Help Desk at 617.253.1101 or helpdesk at mit.edu<mailto:helpdesk at mit.edu>.  You can also submit a request online<http://ist.mit.edu/help>.

What Is Included in Adobe Creative Cloud?
Adobe has changed the way they manage their software.  With the move from Creative Suite to Creative Cloud, they are moving from major version updates to a continuous update process. You still get the great desktop applications, but you no longer have to wait months to get bug fixes or new features.
Adobe Creative Cloud includes:

  *   Acrobat XI Pro (distributed separately, but part of license)
  *   Photoshop
  *   Illustrator
  *   InDesign
  *   Dreamweaver
  *   Adobe Premier Pro (expected later this summer)
  *   After Effects (expected later this summer)
  *   Adobe Muse (expected later this summer)
  *   Adobe Lightroom (expected later this summer)
  *   Other less-used applications

Happy Wednesday!
