UAB has negotiated a discounting program for Adobe products. This program allows for the purchase of Adobe products for use on both UAB owned and non-UAB owned systems for home-use. For more information on availability and use-rights see information below.
Effective June 1, 2010 CDWG is the authorized reseller for purchase of Adobe products for use on UAB owned systems. The agreement allows the UAB faculty/staff community to acquire, at a discount, all Adobe software titles that the company makes available to higher education institutions. This list includes, but is not necessarily limited to, the following:
- Acrobat Standard for Windows and Mac
- Acrobat Pro for Windows and Mac
- Creative Suite Premium for Windows and Mac
- Photoshop CS for Windows and Mac
- Illustrator CS for Windows and Mac
- InDesign CS for Windows and Mac
- Pagemaker for Windows and Mac
Pursuant to the agreement, the software may only be installed on university-owned computers. Prices are subject to change and thus cannot be posted on this site. A license must be ordered for each PC on which the software will be installed. The media (CDs) to perform the installation are not included with the license, but can be ordered separately if needed. Generally, Adobe/CDWG will notify you by email after the order is accepted.
You can obtain current pricing and product numbers by following these steps:
- Go directly to CDWG's website. First-time users to the website will need to create a user account and enter appropriate shipping information. Ship-to addresses should only be valid UAB addresses.
