Adobe Creative Cloud Suite

Technology Acquisition processes renewal AND non-renewal information for Adobe Creative Cloud Suite (ACC) each fiscal year. Failure to complete the renewal form by the deadline will result in your subscription being canceled. If your subscription is canceled, you will need to renew at the beginning of the new fiscal year. See ACC Overview below for a complete list of software the subscription includes. 

Adobe Creative Cloud Suite Overview

To purchase an Adobe Creative Cloud Suite subscription, complete an Internal Service Delivery (ISD) in Workday using the How to Create an Internal Service Delivery for Technology Acquisitions job aid to submit the order. This subscription is not pro-rated. Licenses are non-transferable and designated for a single-user only.

Adobe Acrobat Pro

As of July 1, 2024: Information Technology successfully negotiated a contract with Adobe in which Adobe Express and Adobe Acrobat Pro are offered as part of an enterprise license for the university. This means users will no longer need to purchase a perpetual license through Technology Acquisition. Information Technology is working with Adobe on updating the licensing process and delivering the software to faculty/staff machines. If you have questions, please complete a Software Support IT Service ticket. Thank you for your patience as IT works to improve our service offerings.

As a reminder: Do not purchase Adobe products on a GVSU expense card or seek reimbursement for an Adobe purchase on a personal credit card.
