The cost of the subscription (excluding VAT) is £108.66 per year OR PART YEAR of the subscription.

Students

The University will provide a subscription to students who their school identifies as needing Adobe Creative Cloud for their studies. 

This happens in October, and students eligible for a subscription will receive a confirmation email with details of how to access Adobe Creative Cloud. 

If you do not receive details of how to access Adobe Creative Cloud,and believe you should,  please contact the IT Service to check whether a subscription has been assigned to you.  The IT Service will need to confirm your requirement with your course director before assigning a subscription.

Staff and Students' Personal Machines

Staff with a Named User subscription can use Adobe Creative Cloud on a personal machine.  The software may be installed and used on more than one machine; but can only be used on up to 2 machines concurrently.  If you try to login to Adobe Creative Cloud on a third machine whilst still logged into 2 other machines, you will be prompted to logout of one of the other machines.

Students who are identified by their school as requiring Adobe Creative Cloud applications as an essential part of their studies will be provided with a Named User subscription for student use.  This can be used on any suitable machine, including any university machine where the Adobe software is installed.  Details of subscriptions will be provided to eligible students at the start of the academic year.

Students who are not provided with a subscripton as part of their studies can purchase personal Adobe Creative Cloud subscriptions directly from Adobe at discounted prices.  See https://www.adobe.com/uk/creativecloud/buy/students.html for more details.
