Adobe Creative Cloud
Adobe has started a new type of licensing for some of their products. The former name of the product family was Adobe® Creative Suite (CS) (You where then owning the license you where buying). The new system for licensing Adobe is called Adobe Creative Cloud (CC) and is based on a annual rent as long as you wishes to use the product. You can then at any time use the latest version.
About Adobe Creative Cloud (CC)
There are two kinds of license for Creative Cloud: «Named user»-license and «per device»-license. For both license types you have to pay an annual license fee as long as you wishes to use the license. In practice it is billed for the number of months remaining to December 10 (the date when the agreement was signed in 2014). Before this date you must renew the agreement for another 12 months if you want to continue to use the license(s).
Only employees at UiB can use these licenses . You can only use the license/software in UiB context (not for commercial use).
It is Important to order right kind of license based on the desired use. See further explanation below:
«Named user»-license (office use)
- "Named user" License applies to a named user for up to two PCs. Only this named user has the right to use the license.
- You will then get access via Adobe ID (login). You will receive an invitation from the IT department. Others who logs on to a UiB computer with this type of license will not be able to use the software.
- When a license is ordered you should contact us through UiBhjelp, informing about who will use the license and the computer name if available. We also need the PM-number from the order as soon as this number is ready. In that way the IT department now who owns the license, and to who the invitation should be sent.
- This type of license can be used on up to two computers. License can be used on a private computer used in UiB context (not for commercial use).

«Per device»-license (Public / Lab-PCs)
- This license is used for public PC's or other PC's where more people want access to the program from one machine (eg computer rooms).
- There is only one installation per license (Therefore it is slightly cheaper).
- This license can not be used on private computers.
