Adobe Campus

Contents

General information

 

The university can use all Adobe Creative Cloud Pro Edition software as part of a flat rate for employees until 22.11.2025 via the LRZ framework agreement. This also includes Acrobat Professional. Students can only use the software products via pool rooms and/or VDI.
Adobe now only offers most products for rent, and only as personal licenses (i.e. each user will need their own personal ID with Adobe in order to work with the products).
Attention:
Adobe will enforce the use of personal IDs in future. Anyone who does not wish to do so will no longer be able to use these products.

Contract term

The contract was concluded for the term from 23.11.2022 - 22.11.2025.

Students

Students can only use the Adobe software as a "shared-device" license. This means that use on personal devices is not possible. Instead, please use PCs in pool rooms or via VDI on which a shared device license is installed. You can then log in there with your student Adobe ID. Please refer to the next point"Unlocking access to Adobe".

Employees and HiWis

Employees and HiWis (with personnel number) can use the Adobe Campus license on any 2 devices on which the Adobe Creative Cloud is installed at the same time.

The login is done with the e-mail address set as preferred. Please refer to the next point"Unlocking access to Adobe".

Unlock access to Adobe

Use is only possible via the UniAccount. In addition to the email address, the first name and surname are transferred to Adobe for the duration of use. The preferred email address specified in the IDM must end with @uni-kassel.de.

A personal Adobe ID is required to use the Adobe campus license. This will be created for you automatically after you have accepted the terms of use. Please follow the steps below:

Then scroll to the "Services" tab and click on "Access Adobe CC & Acrobat".

A new browser window will open.

If nothing happens after clicking on "Access Adobe CC & Acrobat", your web browser is probably blocking the pop-up window that should actually open. Please make sure that your web browser allows the opening of pop-up windows for userapp.its.uni-kassel.de.

In Mozilla Firefox, for example, you will see a message and an option to allow the pop-up window directly below the address bar.

Agree to the terms of use by checking the box "Activate access".

Please note that it may take up to two hours to activate access to Adobe services.
