Fall 2021 Licenses Update: Adobe Creative Cloud - Student Subscription FAQ

UW-Madison has a limited number of Adobe Creative Cloud and Acrobat licenses for students enrolled in classes that require them. Students can click on the link above for help with downloading the free software. If a student is not enrolled in one of these classes but wishes to subscribe to the service on their own, they can use the discounted offer described below. 


Description

For students who wish to use it on their own computer, Adobe allows higher ed students to purchase a full subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud (CC) at a discounted rate for their personal devices. The subscription gives students access to Adobe's full creative software suite, which includes applications such as Photoshop, After Effects, Lightroom, Premiere, Acrobat, and others.

You get over 20 creative apps that work together across devices. Start a project on your phone and finish it on your laptop, access your favorite graphics and fonts from any app, and share your work from anywhere. Whether you’re a Creative Cloud beginner, an expert, or in between, you’ll find tons of tutorials at your level. Plus free templates to get you started and project ideas to keep you going. You’ll always have access to the latest versions of the apps, but you’re never forced to upgrade. You can even revert to older versions of apps if you like. Update when you’re ready — it’s up to you.

 *Students get 60% off the regular price for the first year. Students pay US$19.99/month the first year, and US$29.99/month after that. Regular price is US$52.99/month (this is accurate as of 04/26/2019 and may change).
