Case Software Center Announces Software Offering Changes
New Student Licensing Enrollment for Adobe
The Software Center (https://softwarecenter.case.edu) has entered into a “Student Licensing Enrollment” agreement with Adobe, providing Case Western Reserve University students the ability to purchase Adobe software at deep discounts, amounting to as much as 85%.
Adobe software available under this agreement includes: Photoshop CS3 Extended, CS3 Master Collection, CS3 Web Premium & Web Standard, and Illustrator CS3. There is a large selection of Adobe products to choose for both WIN and MAC platforms.
Unlike software downloaded from the Software Center (which you are required to remove upon termination of your status at Case) each software license purchased by the student under this enrollment agreement are then owned by the student.
The Case Software Center has teamed up with JourneyEd to provide an easy link to view and/or purchase these discounted Adobe products. As always, Case students should visit the Case Software Center prior to purchasing any software products. Go to https://softwarecenter.case.edu to connect to JourneyEd by selecting “Adobe Software for Students”.
The end of the Spring 2008 semester will bring some changes to the offerings on the Case Software Center site. Due to changes in the licensing agreement with Adobe, students will no longer be able to download and install concurrent use licenses (managed by KeyServer) of Adobe Illustrator CS3, Photoshop CS3 Extended, and CS3 Web Standard. Students who have downloaded and installed these products from the Case Software Center in the past must remove these software products from their computers. We recommend the Adobe software products be uninstalled first, followed by the Keyserver client software.
Please note that this does not apply to Adobe Acrobat Professional software licenses, as we continue to have a site license agreement with Adobe for Acrobat Professional.
