topOverview

Temple University currently participates in the Adobe Contractual License Program (CLP)

4.5.  This program enables Temple to acquire Adobe products at a very significant discount from retail price. The licenses acquired are perpetual with an Upgrade Plan available at an additional cost for coverage during the term of the Program.  The Program term is August 1, 2007 through August 31, 2009. 

topEligibility

The software and pricing listed on this page is available for Temple University Faculty and Staff only.  Students and Faculty/Staff who have personal software requirements may purchase software at a reduced rate from the Academic Reseller Journey Ed.  Please note that first time purchasers will be required to provide proof of eligibility directly to Journey Ed.

topTerms and Conditions

The Terms and Conditions contained in the Adobe Open Options CLP 4.5 for Education can be found at Adobe Open Options CLP 4.5-Education.

In addition, individual End User License Agreements (EULA's) which govern the usage rights specific to each product may be viewed by at Adobe Product License Agreements.

topSecondary Use Rights

The terms of our Adobe Contractual License Program allows for you to install a second copy of the software for your exclusive use on either a portable device (laptop) or a computer located at your home, provided that the secondary computer and primary (work) computer are not in use at the same time and that the software is used for Temple related work purposes only.

You may take the media provided by Computer Business Services home to perform your install.  The media must be returned to your office upon completion of the home install.  When you are no longer in the employ of Temple University, you must uninstall and destroy all work at home software.  

topPricing and Products

The pricing for Adobe software and upgrade plans is available below.

Adobe products are available as single user and concurrent licenses.  Concurrent licenses allow for a shared usage deployment that typically is used in lab environments.  The concurrent license model requires active monitoring via a software/hardware solution that makes its inappropriate for most office settings. 

For more information on Concurrent licenses, refer to the below links:

Creative Suite 3 (CS3) Software Bundles:

Adobe's Creative Suite 3 (CS3) bundles functionally related software into cost effective packages claimed by Adobe to be Vista compliant.

To assist with your purchase selection, refer to the link below to compare the price of a CS3 Suite vs. the cost of purchasing the products individually.

In addition, Software House International (SHI) has provided Temple University with additional support in selecting the appropriate bundle to fit your needs.

For Contribute, Master Collection, Web Premium and Web Standard purchases:

  • If you are updating http://develop.temple.edu web sites and have not previously purchased Contribute Publishing Server, you must add a Contribute Publishing Server license and upgrade plan to your order.  See the Contribute Web Publishing Bundles listing for additional details on pricing and products.

topUpgrade Options

Adobe offers an "Upgrade Plan" which entitles the purchaser to free version upgrades during the term of our contract which currently runs through August 31, 2009.  Please note: this must be purchased at the time of the original license acquisition and can be renewed each time we extend our agreement.  Refer to the above price sheet for product costs.
