You may install and use as many or as few applications as you like, as long as you meet the eligibility requirements. If you receive an error message indicating your trial has expired, please contact the Help Desk at 801-581-4000, ext. 1.

This software can be deployed only in the United States, Canada, Mexico, or South Korea. International Study Abroad students are not eligible to participate in this program.

All current full-time employees or affiliates (independent contractors) whose primary job duties consist of providing educational instructions to students or current full-time employees that provide administrative support to the education operations of faculty. Affiliates who are eligible to use the software need to request access by sending email to classhelp@utah.edu with your name, uNID, and the product needed (Adobe Express or Adobe All Apps Pro).

Retired faculty and staff members are not eligible. 

Shared Device Licensing is a licensing model to deploy and manage Adobe applications in labs and shared device setups, where multiple users use the devices and applications. The software license is assigned to a device or computer instead of an individual. Shared Device Licensing is ideal for computers in your labs or classrooms. Shared Device Licensing is not designed for use on machines used by dedicated users.

If you are an IT administrator who needs to install shared devices licenses in computer labs or computer classrooms, please send email to classhelp@utah.edu to request access to the Adobe Admin Console to create install files. Include your first and last name, uNID, and department.
