Brief

Jisc, UCISA, and Adobe have negotiated a UK-wide Enterprise Term License Agreement (ETLA) that provides discounted access to Adobe Creative Cloud for universities and colleges. The agreement offers flexible licensing options including Named User Licenses for individual staff and students, Shared Device Licenses for campus computer labs, and campus-wide Adobe Express coverage. Institutions benefit from fixed-rate multi-year pricing (typically 3 years) for budget predictability, plus wraparound support including strategic guidance and peer collaboration networks. The agreement helps educational institutions embed creative software and AI tools into curricula to enhance student digital literacy and employability. By consolidating individual negotiations, Jisc leverages collective bargaining power to deliver cost savings, standardized terms, and tailored support across the entire tertiary education sector.
