Creative Suite is at the heart of proffessional media creation. For educational establishments there are a range of options:

CS6 K12 Primary and Secondary School Site Licence

The School Site Licence is designed for meeting specific teaching needs throughout a school, and is an easy way to roll out a Creative Suite across multiple platforms (licences can be a mixture of both Mac and PC). You can purchase either 250 or 500 installations at a single address, and you’ll get the biggest savings by buying through a CLP programme (see below). A 500 user licence of Master Collection, for example, works out at £21.32 per user.

TLP is an easy way to save money and get the benefits of volume licensing with one simple transaction (and without committing to a fixed-term agreement). With TLP, there’s no minimum order size and no membership agreement.

CLP lets you earn significant savings over a two-year membership period. The more licences you purchase during your agreement, the more points you accumulate and the higher the savings. With CLP, the minimum purchase is 5000 points, which is equivalent to 11 copies of Design Standard and 5 copies of Master Collection.

Recently announced by Adobe and promoted as the scheme for anyone looking for a smooth transition from Creative Suite to Creative Cloud, the EEA is a one or two year agreement that allows you to access Adobe apps as if you were part of Creative Cloud, but without the attendant data protection issues. Rather than accessing all the apps at once and getting constant updates, you buy a Design & Web Bundle that contains everything your students will need for print, digital and web work, then buy access to additional apps on an as-needed basis. Adobe will then provide all the updates and bug fixes you need every six months, so students can keep up with professional Creative Cloud users. At the end of each agreement, you'll be able to add and remove new bundles and applications as you need, and can manage all your licences through a central online portal, so everything's easy to keep track of.

Like other large-scale education licensing programmes, the cost of your EEA agreement is calculated based on your FTE, or Full Time Equivalent staff count. This is calculated using the following 'simple' formula:

No. Full time faculty + (Part time faculty÷3) + full time staff + (part time staff÷2) = your FTE count.

Adobe Student and Teacher Editions

These are boxed copies of Adobe software, including all the Creative Suites as well as core software such as Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements. With savings up to 80% off commercial pricing, all staff and students have to do is provide Adobe with evidence of eligibility within 30 days of purchasing.

As the name suggests, this is just for higher education institutions. It gives your staff and students the chance to purchase Adobe Creative Suite licences at a discount. The licences must be purchased through your university’s active CLP Program.
