Is the Adobe CC license right for you?
- If you need to modify PDFs outside of Adobe Reader, you will need an Adobe Creative Cloud (CC) license. Adobe Creative Cloud includes Acrobat Pro, which is essential for editing, and managing PDF documents.
- Express does not currently offer full OCR (Optical Character Recognition) or robust PDF accessibility features suitable for professional or compliance-grade accessibility work.
Adobe CC License Transfers: Adobe CC licenses assigned to a single user’s Single Sign-On ID (SSO) and are non-transferable. This means that if you have an individual license, it’s specifically tied to the user and cannot be reassigned to someone else. Adobe CC shared device licenses, like those we use for lab computers, can be transferred from one computer to another. However, it’s important to remember that the license can only be active on one device at a time.
ADOBE EXPRESS:
Adobe Express is a web application that allows you to create on-brand marketing materials, social media posts, web pages, video, animations and more with ease. See below for additional information on Adobe Express. Adobe Express is included in the Creative Cloud Suite and is available to users with an active Creative Cloud license. There is no desktop application for Express.
If you need to modify PDFs outside of Adobe Reader, you will need to purchase Adobe Creative Cloud, not Express. Express has limited PDF editing capabilities, while Creative Cloud offers the full Acrobat Pro application.
Adobe Express License Transfers: Adobe Express licenses are assigned to a user’s Single Sign-On ID (SSO) and are non-transferable. This means that it cannot be reassigned to another user.
Upgrade Options from Adobe Express to Creative Cloud: If you’ve purchased an Adobe Express license and find that it doesn’t meet your needs, you can upgrade to a Creative Cloud license by paying only the difference in price.
Please note that student purchases made through our third-party distributor, Kivuto (OnTheHub), do not include upgrade options. We recommend reviewing the software details carefully before purchasing to ensure it meets your requirements.
