Pricing for the complete Adobe Suite starts at $420 per user per year. This gives a single named user access to the entire Adobe Creative Cloud suite of software, which can be installed on up to two computers (a work desktop and a work/personal laptop, for instance). Creative Cloud also comes with dedicated cloud storage and ability to synchronize preferences. A single Creative Cloud app (i.e., Photoshop) can be licensed for $180/year. (Note that if you need more than two Creative Cloud apps it's cheaper to buy the entire suite.) Any purchase of any Creative Cloud subscription also includes Acrobat Pro for free. Pricing for Creative Cloud goes down as more people at Drew purchase subscriptions for the software, with price breaks at 50 and 250 users. If users or departments choose to purchase per-user licenses of Creative Cloud, they will work with University Instructional Technology who will administer the program and coordinate payment.
**Please note: Prices are set by Adobe and are subject to change at any time.
Shared Device licenses:
Device licenses can be used for computer labs or other shared computers. They allow anyone who uses the computer to use the licensed software, but none of the Adobe Creative Cloud features such as storage, preferences synchronization, etc. Pricing for device licenses starts at $300/device/year, with additional discounts at 50 and 250 devices as well. Per-device licenses are designed for computer labs, shared computers, and any situation where a given machine needs access as opposed to a given user.

University Technology supports PDF-XChange Pro as the standard PDF editor for the campus. Also note that Microsoft Office (2007 and later) and Google Docs can export to PDF with no additional software needed. Some offices require or prefer the use of Adobe Acrobat Pro for document production as it has specific features that are not available in PDF-XChange Pro. In these situations we can install and configure our existing licensed copies of Acrobat Pro. This will only be done upon request and consultation with the user, and may not be available in the future as described above. Users can also purchase a retail copy of Acrobat XI Pro for approximately $120. University Instructional Technology will assist with the purchase of the software; however, the actual purchase will be made and paid for by the department.

Faculty/staff who have a need to purchase Adobe software, whether a Creative Cloud user or device license, or an Acrobat XI Pro license, or who need to install our existing license of Acrobat Pro for specific purposes, should create a University Technology Support Request, or call the University Technology Service Center at or call the User Experience team at (973) 408-4357, or x4357 on campus, to to open a support request. They will then be contacted about the relevant options, and to arrange payment if necessary.
