Adobe products are available to the University under an advantageous
discount scheme, but administration of the scheme requires a single
point of contact for the distribution of licence keys. This role will
be undertaken by the Computer Systems Group administrator, and all
purchases of Adobe software should be made by following this procedure:
Where possible, consult your local Computer Officer who will be
aware of existing licences and available alternatives, and can advise
on the suitability of the software.
Send an email to our administrator using adobe-licences
detailing:
the exact product
Windows or Mac
whether media is required, and if so, to whom and where it should
be delivered (your local CO may already have access to the media)
whether maintenance is required (strongly advised in order to
stay current with latest version)
number of licences
prices (as listed for CLP level 3)
names of computer(s) on which the software will be installed
job number and authoriser for the job number
Our administrator will raise the purchase order - please make sure it
is checked and authorised when requested.
The reseller will notify Adobe for licences and will send media via
Stores.
Adobe will issue the licences and notify our administrator.
Our administrator will retrieve the licences from Adobe's system,
record the details and pass them on to you.
This procedure should help to ensure that Adobe products are purchased
at the most advantageous prices, that purchases contribute to
maintaining the discount in the future, and that proper records are
kept of the licences held by the Department. Please note that the
purchasing office will reject any orders for Adobe software which are
not placed via this procedure. Thanks for your assistance.
