Staff

A staff subscription is for a named staff member, and can only be used by that person.  They can use their subscription on any suitable machine.

IMPORTANT: The University subscription is based on a multi-year agreement,  ending 23 October 2027.  This means that all staff subscriptions will need to be maintained, and the annual charge paid, for the full 3 year period unless another user is found to which the subscription can be transferred.  Payment is required on an annual basis, and NUIT will contact each staff subscription holder in advance of the annual charge being taken in September/October to confirm the cost code to which the annual subscription will be charged.

The cost of the subscription (including VAT) is £71.26 per year OR PART YEAR of the subscription.  

To request a staff subscription please raise a service request using the following link: Request Adobe Creative Cloud

Students

The University will provide a subscription to students identified by their school as needing Adobe Creative Cloud for their studies in the current academic year.

This happens at the start of the academic year, and students eligible for a subscription will receive a confirmation email with details of how to access Adobe Creative Cloud. 

If you do not receive details of how to access Adobe Creative Cloud, and believe you should do so,  please contact the IT Service to check whether a subscription has been assigned to you.  The IT Service will need to confirm your requirement with your module leader before assigning a subscription.

Staff and Students' Personal Machines

Staff with a Named User subscription can use Adobe Creative Cloud on a personal machine.  The software may be installed and used on more than one machine; but can only be used on up to 2 machines concurrently.  If you try to login to Adobe Creative Cloud on a third machine whilst still logged into 2 other machines, you will be prompted to logout of one of the other machines.

Students who are identified by their school as requiring Adobe Creative Cloud applications as an essential part of their studies will be provided with a Named User subscription for student use.  This can be used on any suitable machine, including any university machine where the Adobe software is installed.  Details of subscriptions will be provided to eligible students at the start of the academic year.

Students who are not provided with a subscription as part of their studies can purchase personal Adobe Creative Cloud subscriptions directly from Adobe at discounted prices.  See https://www.adobe.com/uk/creativecloud/buy/students.html for more details.
