Adobe options for small school ICT lab

I am looking to set up a ICT lab at my school with 5 iMacs for multiple users.  What is the best way to put the Adobe Suite onto those?  Do I need a site license or do I buy 5 separate licenses?

You would need Device licensing if you have a specific number of computers with multiple users.
An individual license is tied to an unique Adobe ID so can only be used by that individual.
Hope that helps.
Thanks

  • Volume licensing for small schools

    I work for a private university (3,600 students), and this new method of application distribution needs to be better thought out. We don't need 20 licenses for any products. We've got just a handful of Final Cut Pro installs for example. We don't need 20 of them.
    Apple's solution is to put a separate account for every Mac on campus. No way that's going to happen. Not only would it be a nightmare, but the money end of things would become incredibly complicated.
    What would solve the problem is to let us buy apps multiple times. The money would be centralized and licensing requirements could be satisfied.
    Apple needs to rethink this whole thing for smaller users.

    Hi Fahad,
    Couple of things to remember as well
    OEM licences comes with the machine probably you have seen laptops and desktop has a windows key sticker that's an OEM license. Only limitation with OEM is you can't use OEM license anywhere else then the machine you have bought it with. If an OEM license
    machine dies license will die as well.
    With volume license you have the freedom to move around the license. If you have only one license on one machine at one time.
    Also when you buy a windows server license it comes with 5 user CALs. So that's why you have to buy 20 more.
    Now if you want to know what are the CALs, so CAL is a Client Access License require for a
    user/device to access windows server. For example if you have a user and he wants to access share files or printer from the server you will require a user CAL. So if 25 users will access the Server you will require 25 CALs.
    Best thing to do is to speak with your account Manager from Dell or HP regarding the license side as normally they are really good in helping.
    Hope this helps :)

  • ADVICE REQ: File Server Options for Small Workgroup

    Some friends of mine work at my local Newspaper. They have about 8 Macs with 4-5 of them doing Indesign and Photoshop work on files stored on a server. Right now they currently have an 800 MHz G4 with an external Firewire hard drived shared via the free SharePoints software. Performance is acceptable to them but today the firewire drive decided not to mount so they were hooped. I got it back up and running for them but they are wondering if they should be considering a new server.
    Can anyone make any recommendations? Basically, they store ALL of their working files on the server volume - Indesign Documents, Digital Photos, ad layouts, everything. They do not use the server for anything else other than common storage. As I said, speed is not really as much of an issue as reliability.
    For what they're doing, I'm guessing they don't need an Xserve or Mac Pro and probably don't even need to run OS X Server since they're getting by just find with the client version and the freeware SharePoints software. But, I would appreciate your advice.
    Thanks,
    Larry Jorgenson

    Kevin,
    They are running Retrospect backing up the Firewire Drive to another Firewire drive every night. On Monday, they swap the backup drive out with another and take it offsite. In case of a fire, they would lose maximum one week of data. In case of a hardware failure, they would lose less than 24 hours. For them, I think this is a pretty good strategy. I already had to restore their data from a backup about 1 year ago so I know they appreciate the need to have a functional backup system.
    Thanks,
    Larry

  • Anything on Adobe Anywhere for Teams??

    Posting this in the Premiere forum because there is no Anywhere forum and this is from a PPro editor's / integrator's perspective:
    I was following the NAB 2015 announcements closely, and between the fanfare about Lightroom-style color correction and morph cuts, there was some faint mumbling about a new, scaled-down version of Adobe Anywhere. This could have been one of the biggest and most exciting announcements from NAB, but I haven't been able to find any useful information, not to mention screen grabs or demo videos.
    If you've gone to the show, have you seen or heard anything?
    A couple of years ago I saw a quick demo of Anywhere 1.0, and it definitely had plenty of interesting potential. I think many of us have been wishing and waiting for "Adobe's answer to Unity/ISIS". So this year... zilch?

    This is the only thing I've seen:
    From CreativeCOW
    "Responding to a heavy demand for a version of Adobe Anywhere for smaller scale teams, Adobe introduced Anywhere for Teams -- collaborative editing and version control on a smaller scale.
    While Adobe Anywhere's enterprise customers utilize Mercury Playback engine for remote editing, the Teams version focuses on using centralized media across any standard network. This single-location deployment of Anywhere eliminates the remote editing capabilities, significantly reducing the hardware costs. A "Collaboration Hub" contains the project information and metadata database, and manages user access. Support for third-party hardware-based failover ensures redundancy that lets editors keep working without interruption during a system hardware failure."

    HOW TO DELETE FILES or FOLDERS or Assets from Adobe Creative Cloud Brouser/Web Portal By: Kai Buskirk rev:130626
    Adobe now burried deleting or trashing unwanted iteams files or folders in the Archive section of your creative cloud brouser/web portal.
    Note!! - No longeer is there a standard TrashCan icon or simple Delete button... its burried in the archive sector: but why i ask?
    An archive is an accumulation of historical records, or the physical place they are located.[1] Archives contain primary source documents that have accumulated over the course of an individual or organization's lifetime, and are kept to show the function of that person or organization. Professional archivists and historians generally understand archives to be records that have been naturally and necessarily generated as a product of regular legal, commercial, administrative or social activities.
    In general, archives consist of records that have been selected for permanent or long-term preservation on grounds of their enduring cultural, historical, or evidentiary value. Archival records are normally unpublished and almost always unique, unlike books or magazines for which many identical copies exist. This means that archives (the places) are quite distinct from libraries with regard to their functions and organization, although archival collections can often be found within library buildings
    A person who works in archives is called an archivist. The study and practice of organizing, preserving, and providing access to information and materials in archives is called archival science. The physical place of storage is sometimes referred to as an archive repository.
    To delete files folders or individual assests in the current incarnation of adobe creative cloud brouser/web portal rev:130626
    1 - Check mark the box on left and select files or folders you would like Deleted/Trashed and move them to the ARCHIVE folder location inside your adobe creative cloud brouser/web portal....Then navigate to the ARCHIVE SECTION
    2 - Once the files or folders you have check marked are moved to the ARCHIVE folder location you can select them for Permanant Deletion (Trash)
    ps: you can also restore them......if you so choose....
    3 - in case you missed this step after selecting/checking the files or folders in the ARCHIVE folder there is a small Triangle Selector drop down that will reviel the Permanently Delete option.... clicking that is the point of no return i think..... so do not be misled my the use of the term ARCHIVE.... DELETING PERMANANTLY IS DELETING YO!
    4 - OK DONE NOW YOU GOT IT .....
    Good Luck Happy House Cleaning.....
    Wamest Blessings,

  • I have a Windows 8.1 machine.  I used a projecteor a while back in a Power Point presentation.  Now my menus for Adobe are very small and hard to read.  The print command is so compressed that I cannot read or use it.  How do I fix this problem?

    I used a projecteor a while back in a Power Point presentation.  Now my menus for Adobe are very small and hard to read.  The print command is so compressed that I cannot read or use it.  How do I fix this problem?

    There is no application called "Adobe" - you are either working with Adobe Acrobat or the free Adobe Reader. Open up the preferences for the application (Edit>Preferences), then go to the "General" category and modify the settings for "Scale for screen resolution". You will have to restart the application after you do that. Does that fix your problems?

  • Why Has Adobe Removed The Option For Individuals To Purchase Software And Not Use The Cloud?

    As an individual who has been using Adobe products for about 25 years for my personal use and not as a business, I find the new policy of "renting" the software and using "The Cloud" for, at least in my case, a prohibitive monthly fee, to be totally unacceptable and will result in my no longer being able to afford using Adobe products.   I do not understand why Adobe cannot offer their new cloud program for individuals and companies that may wish to use the new system and have the resources to pay in perpertuity, but they should also have the option for those of us who would rather purchase upgrades for whatever programs we use and keep them on our computer without "The Cloud" service.
    I am 67 years old and living on a fixed income.  I basically use four adobe programs... Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects, and Audition as I do volunteer work at a local non-profit radio and tv organization.  If I were to "rent" those individually it would cost $80 per month... so I could take the next deal and get access to all software for $50 per month... I cannot afford either of those.  If I could upgrade one or more of the  programs every two or three years... keeping them on my computer and not using "The Cloud," then continuing to use the products would be doable.  However, being forced into a program that requires a monthly fee and use of "The Cloud" which I do not need to use, seems totally unfair.   I certainly understand that there are  businesses and individuals who will love the new program, but why not have the option?  Or perhaps a "Senior" discount as you do for educators and students?
    Something to think about.  It seems Adobe may be moving to the "Cable Television" model of monthly fees that will go no where but up.

    Hey there, you may have heard that Adobe is continuing to sell and support CS6 for customers who prefer traditional licensing.  It's last year's version instead of the latest-and-greatest CC release, but it's something to consider if that's important to you.
    As far as a "senior discount" on Adobe software, there has never been one – but one thing to consider is becoming a student or teacher because there is no age restriction on that, in which case you may become eligible for education discounts.
    Hope this helps.

    I have a dual boot lab that I set up for a school.  The partitions consist of Mountain Lion OSX and Windows 7 Ent.  I use bootpicker software for choosing the operating system at startup.  When I select the windows partition, it take just under 2 minutes from selection to the windows login screen.  It seems to take incredibly long for the mac to "shut down and hand over the operating system to windows. 
    Do you have any suggestions on how to get this timing faster?
    Thanks for any ideas/input

    The only suggestion I can make is to look ar ReFind (previuosly ReFit). Startup mamangement is one of its features.
    But
    It is very powerful so test it for yourself before deploying it. Some of the functions are best kept out of the hands of the curious, or 'playful'
    And you never answered this question.
    Tell me what the needs are, do the users always need to choose Windows or is this a variable?

    It is usually at the bottom of your printers list. Do you see it on Control Panel/Hardware and Sound/Devices and Printers/Printers?

  • Can't get duplex print option for pdf files using  Adobe ReaderXI 11.0.04, Mac 10.8.5 with HP8600

    I get two-sided option for normal printing, but
    I can't get duplex print option for pdf files using  Adobe ReaderXI 11.0.04, Mac 10.8.5 with HP Officejet Pro 8600.  HP says it's an Adobe problem. I'm stuck.
    Thanks in advance.

    It depends where the pdf is located. If in the Finder or in an attachment to
    an email in Entourage, the message is ³You can¹t open the application
    ³Acrobat Reader 5.0² because PowerPC applications are no longer supported².
    If an attachment in an email that has come via Safari, the message is
    ³Safari can¹t open the file because no available applications can open it².
    In each case the menu bar is Finder or Entourage or Safari as the case may
    be.

  • Imovie media browser only has one option, "Mobile". other videos had option for medium and small. mobile option wont import into iDVD. other videos gave me the Medium option, why not this one?

    help! imovie media browser only has one option, "Mobile". other videos had option for medium and small. mobile option wont import into iDVD. other videos gave me the Medium option, why not this one? need answers ASAP!

    That is your answer then.
    Large is 960x540
    Medium is 640x480 (or 720x480)
    Mobile is probably 480x272.
    It is offering you the sizes that make sense given the size of your source material.
    As a trick, you might try this. In your project, put a short 640x480 clip in the project as the first clip of the project. Then keep the rest of the project as is. See if it will let you share now in Medium. It will not look as good, because there are not enough pixels to cover the Medium size, but it might work.

    I have a Macbook pro Retina display, I have a small nick in my screen that is annoying especially when watching videos. What is my best option for fixing it?/does apple care apply?

    Did you cause the nick? Or did it just appear one day? There are reports of the retina screen having exploding pixels which leaves a hole in the screen that can be felt when you rub your finger across it. If that is what happened then it should be covered under the warranty. If you caused the nick then it is not covered and the fix will be very expensive, somewhere in the $1000 range.

  • Know what I'd like? I'd like another option for Adobe Flash - not always on, not always off ... ask me if I want something to use flash.

    I go through the news, see interesting articles and open them in another tab and another and another. Throughout the day, I read the articles and slowly close the tabs. I hate having to hit Ctrl-Alt-Del to shut down Adobe Flash because all of those tabs are playing whatever at the same time. I'd like to have the option under Firefox>Tools>Add Ons to select 'Ask me' instead of just Always Activate or Never Activate.
    Want to make your product better? Take this idea and incorporate this option for all of the Add Ons.
    Thanks!
    Using Windows 8, Firefox 24.0 and it's up to date ... according to my About Mozilla Firefox window.

    hello, this is already possible for plugins: enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''plugins.click_to_play'''. double-click it and change its value to '''true''' then you can set plugins to "always ask" in the addons manager.

  • Online Training Options for Adobe FM 8?

    Hi there!
    I'm currrently researching online training options for FM 8 on behalf of a software development company I'm working at. My department is currently very interested in switching to FM from Word and this is definitely an exciting time for us. For now, we're looking to acquaint ourselves with FM basics and its long-document management abilities.
    Has anyone taken up FM 8 training via the Element K Adobe Online Training Library? How valuable and effective was this training?
    Are there any other reputable and effective online training resources out there? If needed, I'm also open to on-site training in the greater Vancouver area of British Columbia.
