normal retail price of $199.
Adobe Products Added to the Store
Several Adobe products have been added to the software store including Acrobat Pro, Photoshop Extended
and Creative Suite Design Premium CS4. Check out the products page for

Student Eligibility
All students enrolled for the current quarter can receive software from the home software licensing programs.
Incoming first-year students become eligible once they have enrolled in classes
for fall quarter. Students that were enrolled for Spring quarter but that are not taking
summer classes can only purchase software if they are registered for fall quarter.
Attention Lake Campus & Distance Learning Students There is
now a mail order option for students outside of main campus. You can have the software mailed
to your home for a small shipping & handling fee. There is also an option for free delivery
to the Lake Campus business office for Celina-area students and employees.
See the online store for more details.
Faculty and Staff Eligibility
To receive software, faculty and staff must be directly employed by the university and listed
in the human resources database. Only current employees are eligible - retirees, emeritus faculty and
former employees are not eligible for the program. Third-party contractors, volunteers and others
not directly employed by the university do not meet the employment requirement. These are rules
set down in the license agreements with software manufactures and can not be waived.
Employees that meet the faculty/staff requirements are eligible for Work-at-Home rights to
several software packages. The cost of this software is absorbed by the university and is
provided strictly for work-related activities. Personal activities are prohibited under the
rights agreement and software can only be used during the term of employment. When a faculty or
staff member leaves the employment of the university all rights to the software end and the
software must be removed. Please carefully read the license agreement for more details.
