Departmental Adobe price list - download PDF file
ITU has signed the CLP license agreement with Adobe. This agreement allows individual departments to purchase Adobe products at substantial savings at Patriot Computers. At this time you will be required to purchase maintenance for each product. This requirement will help ensure that we meet the minimum purchase requirements required by the contract.
Maintenance will provide you with access to the latest version of the software product until the contract expires in December 2008. If this contract is renewed in January 2009 you may choose to renew your maintenance agreement and continue to receive future updates. Otherwise you will own the then current version of the software.
Each department is responsible for the purchase of all products installed. It is highly recommended that your department assign a license administrator to track and monitor your departments licenses. Possession of DVD's does not give us the right to load on multiple systems. A user licenses must be purchased for each computer the software is installed on.
This information applies to departments purchasing systems for the university's use. ITU has developed standards for systems and a list of supported equipment. Please see the ITU Computer Purchasing Guidelines for Mason Departments regarding specific recommendations. You are encouraged to use this information when making a purchase decision. Please remember that a three-year warranty is strongly recommended. Information regarding departmental purchasing policies is listed below. Departments can make purchases at Patriot Computers to $30K without further approval or entry in eVA.
