Eligibility* for Adobe Creative Cloud through the University's contract is based on primary affiliation. Sponsored users, regardless of campus and being on a university-owned machine, are not eligible for Adobe.
*UTK, UTIA, and UTSI employees must purchase a license before accessing Adobe's creative cloud for individual use. Lab administrators will also need to purchase lab licenses to install the software on lab computers; eligible faculty, staff, and students may use the labs without purchasing individual licenses. Purchasing information is available on OIT's Adobe website.
