Agreement Overview
The Moody College operates under an Adobe VIP license through Campus Computers and Journey Ed. Our VIP number is C5617DB196F9D0A2C84A
The college began a VIP License Agreement with Adobe after the campus-wide enterprise initiative failed between Adobe and all of UT Campus. For context, some high-ed campuses like ACC are able to call themselves Adobe Creative Campuses because they have entered a partnership with Adobe where the entirety of a campus is involved for a reduced cost. UT could reach consensus across the board for this. Instead, each college or unit are left to negotiate their best pricing. In the case of Moody, we consolidate the purchase across all Moody units to get the best tier pricing (Tier 4) that we can. Moody's anniversary date each year for renewal is June 1st. It was moved from April from the Enterprise license so that mid-semester interruptions did not take place in labs in the event of renewal problems.

Working However, working for Adobe and managing their users is something that unfortunately for which Adobe doesn't pay us forunfortunately. It is possible to specify admins for specific groups I believe so this task could be distributed. It That could get ugly however.
