3 months Free for Design College students

[amab71409256]

Hello! I 'm a college student and heard from my classmates that Adobe is allowing students to get 3 months free for adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and Indesign because of COVID-19.

Is this true? And where can I find this resource? I'm starting school up again for the spring and don't have the programs on my personal computer.

Adobe is providing "free" access to its Creative Cloud apps only if you are in education as a teacher or student. For institutions that give students access to Creative Cloud apps through on-campus computer labs, Adobe is enabling those students to work remotely for 60 days through a temporary "at home" access. This has to be set up through the school.

To be very clear, you do not get 3 months free just because you are a student or a teacher. You get off-site access to the apps if you are already in a course that requires them and you had been using them at on-campus computer labs.

If you are an individual subscriber (that is, you subscribed through the student/teacher plan and not as part of a school/university/institution volume plan) and you are having financial issues because of the pandemic, Adobe may waive subscription fees for a couple of months. This is not an official policy and seems to be handled on an individual basis. There is no guarantee that your fees will be waived. You will have to talk to customer care directly and work something out with them. You must already be a subscriber; Adobe is not going to give free or reduced-cost access to all its programs to people who are not customers.

Be aware that because of the pandemic, wait times are far longer than usual due to reduced staff and higher demand. Please be patient with the people to whom you speak. Like you, they are feeling a great deal of stress. A little patience and understanding will go a long way to helping you in your particular situation.
