Adobe VIP
Adobe Value Incentive Plan (VIP) is a subscription license that enables OETC Higher Education members to purchase the latest Creative Cloud software while benefiting from the larger buying power of the consortium, gaining the convenience of a single purchase, and achieving budget certainty for keeping up-to-date with Adobe products. For Higher Education members purchasing for individual computers or individual users, OETC offers Adobe VIP to facilitate smaller purchases with no minimum FTE requirement.
