Department IT administrators are key to the deployment of the Adobe Campus Agreement apps to department owned computers. Through the use of the Adobe Admin Console, IT administrators create, download, and deploy those apps to their department computers. The deployment method is determined by the network environment.

Deployment Methods

There are two methods of deployment:

  1. Named user licenses 
    • managed through the Admin Console
    • Non-managed computers (end-users manage the computer and have rights to install software)
  2. Shared device licenses for computer labs and classrooms
    • Customized install packages created in the Admin Console
    • Department managed computers (department IT manages computers)
    • University owned/leased computers in classrooms & computer labs

Access to Adobe Resources

The primary department IT administrator needs to request access to the Adobe Admin Console by completing the Vendor Access Management survey.
