Adobe CLP License Program
The University of Wyoming is a program member of Adobe’s Open Options Contractual Licensing Program (“CLP”). As a member, UW is able to secure volume pricing on Adobe products. This significantly reduces the costs incurred by UW departments and colleges. The current program is effective through December 2012.
UW departments are eligible to purchase Adobe CLP licenses and media using a University of Wyoming IDR for payment. Personal purchases are not available nor allowed through this program.
Some popular software titles available for Windows and Macintosh platforms through this program are Acrobat Pro, Design Premium and Standard, Elements, Illustrator, InDesign, Master Collection, and Photoshop. There are limited products available for the SUN, Unix, and Linux platforms. Please see Adobe CLP Program Products and Pricing on the IT Software Ordering (https://softwaredb.uwyo.edu/) website for a complete list of software titles and prices.
Software Upgrades
Adobe also provides an Upgrade Plan for various licenses. Upgrade Plan is an additional up-front fixed cost that users can pay to receive future versions of their software. Under Upgrade Plan, users receive any upgrades (release of newer versions), bug fixes, and updates during the remainder of the agreement. Adobe has committed to releasing major version upgrades once every 12 months. Upgrade Plan prices are prorated throughout the term of the agreement. Users must enroll their license in Upgrade Plan at the time of purchase. Enrolling the new license in Upgrade Plan now allows it be renewed when the current agreement expires.
A license can be purchased without Upgrade Plan. If you chose this option, and later a new version of the software is released, you will be required to pay the full price of the new software license if you want to upgrade to the newest version.
Software Training
Information Technology offers classes on certain Adobe products – Acrobat, Photoshop, and InDesign (see IT's Computer Training pages (www.uwyo.edu/InfoTech/Training/) for a complete description of IT’s Computer Training Opportunities at UW). IT user consultants are available to assist users with installation of Adobe products, but are not able to provide functional support or advise customers on how to use Adobe products. Therefore it is highly recommended that customers enroll in computer training courses. Adobe's Technical Support Directory phone number is 800-833-6687.
Installation Options
Some products will be available through electronic download from the UW network while some products will be available through media (DVD) checkout. In order to checkout media from Information Technology, a $30 IDR deposit is due at the time of check out. For products not available through download or checkout, clients are responsible for purchasing media at an additional cost. Documentation sets are also available for an additional cost. Please contact the IT Information Desk at 766-3686 for documentation set and DVD pricing. Prices and availability are subject to change without notice. For assistance with your Adobe product go to www.adobe.com.
Ordering Information
To place an order online go to the IT Software site (https://softwaredb.uwyo.edu/) and follow the instructions. Or, use the Adobe price list on the IT Software site to fill out an IDR with the appropriate ordering information. IDRs should be made out to Information Technology, and must include the full name and user name of the person who will be using the software. Also list all product names and the part numbers on the IDR. Please send the IDR to the IT Client Support Services Front Desk, Information Technology Center. Personal checks will not be accepted.
Users will be notified by IT when their order has been processed and are ready to download the software from the UW network, or to check out installation kits. In cases where the purchase of DVDs are required, it is typically shipped at the same time the license order is placed with the distributor and it should arrive in about two weeks from the time the order is placed.
Eligibility
All University of Wyoming departments are eligible to purchase licenses through CLP. Cooperating Agencies such as state and federal agencies do not qualify under this program.
Note: All software and licenses obtained through the Adobe CLP Agreement remain the property of UW. Payment can be sent to the IT Client Support Services Front Desk, Information Technology Center.
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 laptop provided two people are not using the software at the same time.
