Adobe Department Purchase
Adobe Home Personal Purchase FAQUToledo has taken advantage of a highly discounted offer from Adobe incorporated made to select Ohio public universities to procure Adobe Acrobat Pro DC and Creative Cloud subscriptions for faculty and staff who use these products for their work at the University.
A one-year subscription of Adobe Creative Cloud cost $150 and are renewable one month before expiration. If you elect the Adobe Creative Cloud subscription, the Adobe Acrobat Pro DC product will be included with that subscription. These prices are significantly less than the standard retail price.
These are premium products and should not be confused with Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, which is included at no charge as part of the standard UToledo computing environment. Adobe Acrobat Reader DC enables you to read and convert documents to PDF, which is all the functionality that most users need. Individuals who only use the Adobe Acrobat Reader DC do not need to take any action, as we will continue to have that product freely available as part of your normal UToledo computer software.
To purchase Creative Cloud for use at UToledo, visit DeptSoftware.utoledo.edu.
