Eligibility for Adobe Creative Cloud Licensed By UW System's ETLA

This document describes eligibility for Adobe Creative Cloud.

The software licensed under our Adobe ETLA can be used by most currently employed faculty and staff on both UW- and personally-owned devices. (Eligible faculty and staff can follow this procedure to access the software.) UW System negotiated and signed the Adobe agreement on the basis of a count of employees in specific job classifications, and we are obligated to restrict its use based on those classifications. The table below details who is and isn't eligible to use the software. Faculty and staff lose access to Adobe Creative Cloud applications and storage the day after their appointment terminates. 

Emeritus professors, retired staff, and alumni are not eligible to use the software licensed under the Adobe ETLA on personally-owned devices. Anyone with an Adobe ID may use the software on shared UW-owned devices that have been provisioned with Adobe's Shared Device Licensing. Undergraduate and graduate students can use their NetID to log in on those machines.

For use on personally-owned devices, undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in specific classes can get a free subscription if their instructors have contacted DoIT and requested access. Students who don't qualify for a free subscription may purchase a discounted Creative Cloud annual subscription from Adobe. Faculty and staff not licensed to use the software under UW's agreement may qualify for an academic discount from Adobe: https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/buy/students.html.

This software is distributed separately by each of the UW's organizational entities. Faculty and staff paid through non-UW-Madison campuses should contact their campus's central IT to find out how to access the software.
