Appropriate Identification

Adobe requires its resellers to authenticate qualified Educational users.

Individuals wishing to purchase software under the Agreement must provide the reseller with a clear, readable copy of a current, valid photo identification and valid evidence of current enrollment at or employment by the University.  Typically this is a school photo identification card that includes date validating current status, or school photo identification or driver's license or other official photo identification with corroborating evidence.

Please see the Adobe "Qualify for education pricing" web page for complete details about these Adobe appropriate identification requirements.

4. CDW-G will contact you by e-mail and request a copy of your CUA ID.  You may provide this electronically (by scanning it yourself) or by making a photocopy and faxing it.  The e-mail will provide instructures.

Other Important Notes

You may receive e-mail from Adobe with information about logging onto an Open Licensing site. You should ignore this as it is not needed for this special licensing. All you need to do is follow the instructions on the paper coupon that comes with your product.

Software purchased through the Adobe Student Licensing agreement is for use on your personally-owned computer only. It must not be installed on computers owned by the university. The university licenses Adobe software through a different agreement than this. Contact the computer Information Center if your university department needs to purchase Adobe software.
