Adobe Creative CloudUpdated November 1, 2024There are two types of licenses for Adobe Creative Cloud (Adobe CC) Named-user license (NUL) – This is connected to an individual. – Adobe CC can be installed on two computers associated with a named user. – One license must be installed on your Poole College-owned device; the second installation can be on an employee’s personal machine. – Only full-time employees are eligible for a NUL. Others (e.g., students, part-time employees, temp workers, no-pay employees, emeritus professors) can access Adobe apps on university-owned computers where a shared device license is installed. See the Adobe FAQ doc linked above for a complete list. Eligibility for an Adobe CC NUL is based on your employment status; the following groups are ineligible for Adobe CC education NUL: > Emeritus professors > Retirees >Temporary Employees > “No-pay” Employees > Students (unless they are also full-time employees) Shared device license (SDL): Any active employee, including temporary employees, may use Adobe CC on a shared university-owned computer with a Shared Device License. These are computers used by multiple people. – This license is connected to a computer, not a specific user, such as a computer at a reception desk. – Anyone who logs into that computer can use Adobe CC. – Adobe defines eligible computers as follows: “Shared Device Licensing is not intended to be used on a single owner/user device. It can be used on any institutionally owned machine accessed by multiple users.” – The computer must be owned by NCSU/Poole College.
