Chicago Booth Student Licensing for Adobe Acrobat Pro
In an effort to enable students to annotate digital materials, Chicago Booth will provide access to an Adobe Acrobat Pro student subscription at no cost to you. If you graduate or leave the University during this subscription period, your license will terminate; see "Software for Students" for additional information.
Please note the following:
- Access the license by logging into Adobe with an Adobe ID and password. Use your Chicago Booth email address as the Adobe ID. You MUST use the format CnetID@ChicagoBooth.edu; alias email addresses will NOT work. If you do not already have an Adobe ID set up with your Chicago Booth email address, please click on Create an account. You need to create an Adobe ID password associated with this email address before you will be allowed to download the software.
- If you have had an Adobe subscription in the past under a different email address, go to Adobe.com and then make sure that you are signed out of Adobe. To sign out of your Adobe account, you must click on Sign Out under your name and close your browser. Then you can sign back in using your Chicago Booth email as your Adobe ID.
- If you see that you only have the option to install a trial version, you may find that you need to sign out, close your browser and sign back in again.
- If that does not work, contact helpdesk@chicagobooth.edu.
- It is important to note that when this subscription expires or you leave the University - or if you require other applications within the Adobe Creative Suite, such as Photoshop or Illustrator - you must purchase your own license from Adobe if you wish to continue use of this software.
- Some home computers may not meet system requirements for certain Adobe applications. We are unable to offer access to older versions of Adobe software.
- Access is granted after your starting quarter has started. (For example, for a Full Time MBA Student starting in the Autumn quarter, access would not start until after that quarter starts.)
- The software can be installed on multiple computers but can only be in use on 2 devices at a time. Adobe services such as storage, limited fonts and mobile apps are included.*
*Per Adobe, AXP users may download the Desktop Apps but do not have access to additional Adobe services.
Instructions for access to Adobe applications:
- Sign in to the Adobe website using your CnetID@ChicagoBooth.edu email address
