Adobe CLP License Program

The University of Wyoming is able to secure volume pricing on Adobe products through the Adobe’s Open Options Contractual Licensing Program (“CLP”). UW departments are eligible to purchase Adobe CLP licenses and media for UW owned computers. Licenses purchased through the UW IT Adobe CLP Agreement are the property of UW. Licenses can be transferred to different users within a department, and remain with the department that purchased them, not the user they were purchased for, if a user moves to a new department. Personal purchases are not available nor allowed through this program.

Adobe software licensed at the office may be used at home providing two people are not using the software at the same time. Software licensed for office use may be used on a second computer, such as a desktop and a laptop, provided two people are not using the software at the same time.

Please see Adobe CLP Program Products and Pricing on the IT Software Ordering website (https://softwaredb.uwyo.edu/) for a complete list of software titles and prices.

Upgrade Plans

UPGRADE PLANS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR EVERY ADOBE PRODUCT. If a user wants to purchase a license that doesn’t have an Upgrade Plan available, it is advised that you plan on using the product version for at least three years, and budget for version upgrades accordingly. Adobe is changing its licensing model in 2013. For products that do have an Upgrade Plan available, the benefits will expire in February 2014 or earlier. IT is unsure how long Upgrade Plan will be available for any product, and users should be aware that if Adobe discontinues Upgrade Plan for any product, no refunds will be made to the departments. Purchase is at the department’s risk.

An Upgrade Plan is an optional additional up-front fixed cost that users can pay to receive future versions of their software without having to purchase a new license. Upgrade Plans must be purchased at the time that the license is purchased.

This offering is subject to change without notice.

Media

Media is the physical disc that is used to install the software on a computer. Many of the common Adobe products do not require media to be purchased because IT has media available to check out to departments. There are some products that we do not have on hand since they are not purchased often. For those products media must be purchased. Media can be purchased, even if it is not required, if a department would like to have the discs on hand. Media takes between 2-3 weeks to arrive once it has been ordered.

Ordering/Pricing

There are a couple of steps to ordering Adobe products. To get pricing on Adobe products, please see the IT Software Ordering website (https://softwaredb.uwyo.edu/).

Go to the IT Software Ordering website (https://softwaredb.uwyo.edu/), select the items to be purchased, and view the cart. This is where you can change the licensed username if you are ordering on behalf of another. Once your order has been placed, there will be a printable page with the details of your order.
There are currently two payment methods you may choose. However, please be advised that on April 30th, 2013, IDRs will no longer be accepted:
1. Have your department issue an IDR to information technology, including your order number, and either deliver that IDR to the Front Desk of the ITC or put it in campus mail. Please make sure it has both signatures and the date at the bottom.
  
  OR
2. You can pay with a University of Wyoming issued procurement card (P-card). In the online ordering process, choose "P-Card" as the form of payment and either enter your P-card information or select the P-card holder in your department who can pay for the order.

Once IT has received payment, you can check out media from the ITC Front Desk, IT will send you instructions on how to install the software from the network, or IT will place the order for any media that we do not carry. Please see the Installation Options section for information on which media can be installed from the network and which needs to be checked out from the ITC. An email will be sent when ordered media has arrived.

Prices and product availability are subject to change without notice.

Installation Options

As noted in the Ordering Process, there are three options for installing software: installing from the network (IT will email instructions), checking out the media from the ITC Front Desk, or ordering media that IT does not carry.

In order to checkout media from the ITC, a $30 IDR deposit must be on file for the department. This deposit IDR will not be sent on to Accounts Payable unless media is not returned and IT must purchase a replacement copy. This deposit IDR must be separate from your order IDR, as one will be kept on file and the other will be processed for your order. Many departments on campus already have a deposit IDR on file. To see if your department does please contact the IT Front Desk at 766-3686.

Adobe media available to install from the network:

Acrobat Pro
Illustrator
InDesign
Photoshop

Adobe media available to check out from the front desk (some of these are too large to install from the network):

Acrobat Pro
Illustrator
InDesign
Photoshop
Design Premium
Design Standard
Dreamweaver
Master Collection

There are limited quantities of media to check out from the ITC Front Desk. To see if the media you would like to check out is available, please contact the IT Front Desk at 766-3686.

Software Training

Information Technology offers classes on certain Adobe products – Acrobat, Photoshop, and InDesign. Please see IT's Computer Training pages (www.uwyo.edu/InfoTech/Training/) for a complete description of IT’s Computer Training Opportunities at UW. It is highly recommended that customers enroll in computer training courses. IT consultants can help with the installation of Adobe products, and are not able to provide functional support or advise customers on how to use Adobe products.
