Subject: [WinPartners] New Adobe Licensing Program for MIT – Acrobat Pro & Creative Cloud
Date: May 28, 2014 at 4:01:56 PM EDT
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.

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!
