Adobe Master Collection


SSU IT is pleased to announce that the campus has entered into an agreement with Adobe for the licensing of Adobe Master Collection CS6. The agreement with Adobe is a volume licensing agreement that allows the use of the entire Master Collection by faculty and staff here at Sonoma. While this is not a site license the license model does provide enough licensing to accommodate any faculty or staff member here at Sonoma. The software is available for installation on any university owned computer. As an added benefit the license agreement does contain a “Work at Home” clause allowing faculty to install a single copy on their personal computer.
