The Adobe Acrobat software package is currently financed centrally and is therefore available to all university employees. Further information and the link to the download can be found here: https://kim.uni-hohenheim.de/en/111271
All other Adobe products must be licensed via a rental model of the state contract and purchased until the end of the contract period. There are two different licence models:
- named-user licence: The licence is assigned to one person (user).
- shared-device licence: The licence is assigned to a PC on which different people can work.
As Adobe licences are quite expensive, it may be advisable for people who only rarely work with Adobe programs to switch to an alternative.
Corel, a provider of software products for corresponding application areas, should be mentioned here as a general manufacturer alternative.
