Comments on: Adobe Changes Licensing, Causes Non-Profit Scare, Probably OK Though /2009/09/29/adobe-licensing-scare/ David Szpunar: Owner, Servant 42 and Servant Voice Wed, 20 Oct 2010 15:38:57 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.2 By: David Szpunar /2009/09/29/adobe-licensing-scare/comment-page-1/#comment-15569 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 21:30:13 +0000 http://infotech.davidszpunar.com/?p=419#comment-15569 Interesting. So now nonprofit users can upgrade and not just buy full versions like we’ve had to do if we didn’t buy upgrade insurance in the past? If so this is indeed a welcome change!

I had a customer of mine who needed the latest Web Premium and they paid half the price using the Academic upgrade.

I’ve not run into this issue before. My sales rep at Zones is the one who set up our non-profit purchasing through Adobe and I’ve never had a problem. You cannot get TechSoup pricing but the pricing I have is multiple times better than retail still. However, I’ve not read any specific agreements (frankly, the Adobe site is confusing enough and has enough legalese I’m not sure I’d want to spend time trying to find such a thing), I’ve just gone through my Zones rep for everything. You can talk to him if you want he can probably help you, too: Eric.Inabnit @ zones.com (remove spaces from email address. Tell him I referred you).

I would love to know how others got around this.

The UMC (United Methodists) love alphabet Soup.

A Friend of mine – the communications director for the Greater NJ Annual Conference wrote an interesting article on this.

GBOD, GBGM, UMCOM, UMYF, UMM, UMW, NAUMS, are just a few :-)
