CU has paid for site license to Acrobat (all CU machines) and Creative Cloud (1/2 of CU's systems). It can be hard to install the software, however. And you must inventory-track most installs.

Installation tricks

Ensure you have the latest serializer.

Inventory requirements

Anytime you do an Adobe software installation other than Adobe Acrobat, you must add it to one of our 2 inventory documents located at our SharePoint here:

https://cornellprod.sharepoint.com/sites/AS/AIT/ChemIT/Shared%20Documents/Software

Note there are two files:

One to inventory our requests for Adobe IDs (and associated installations, for our benefit).
- We are doing this since we don’t believe CU Software will make this information available to us so we otherwise won’t know for whom we’ve made requests.

And another to inventory our Adobe CC installs using CU’s serializer.
- CU Software is now requiring we do this, starting with Creative Cloud (CC) 2015. (They did not required this of CC 2014, FWIW.)

We’ll see if us hosting this info on MS Word files within SharePoint is better or worse for this kind of inventory maintenance than Confluence. Please share your experiences- thanks.
