VIP Marketplace: Higher education solutions

Adobe provides various licensing options to assist higher education institutions in meeting the needs of their students and faculty. There are two types of licenses available: named-user licenses and shared device licenses.

Named-User licenses

Institutions may purchase named-user licenses for individual faculty, staff, or students. Named-User licenses enable users to work at home and on campus with up to two deployments per license.

Student License Pack (SLP)

Institutions purchasing 100 or more Creative Cloud licenses for their students may purchase Student License Pack (SLP) licenses, enabling students to work on and off campus. SLP includes desktop and mobile apps, as well as services.

See named-user licenses for more information.

Shared device licenses

Institutions may purchase shared device licenses to give students and faculty the flexibility to access Adobe products in shared environments like labs, libraries, and classrooms. With these licenses, users can access the latest versions of Creative Cloud apps and services on entitled machines. Also, users with individual paid subscriptions can log into machines entitled with shared device licenses to access their profiles as well as their saved work.

To use shared device licenses, students and faculty in shared environments can simply log in with an ID (Federated or Enterprise) and password provisioned by the school, or they can log in using a free Adobe ID that they create on Adobe.com.
