Difference between Individual and Education Solutions

[Marc23616131bj42]

Noob here, be gentle. If I've misposted to this forum - please direct me to the appropriate set of ears...

I represent a 501c3 and will be using TechSoup to procure our Adobe Creative Cloud Solution.

I'm old school (Lets hear it for those IBM XT/AT Desktops) and am having difficulty understanding the difference between the Individual and Education Solutions enrollments offered. (Monthly fee / Not a boxed product)

We will have multiple people using the product and wasn't sure if the Education version is like a "site license" (in my terms) where we are permitted to have several intances running with the single purchase or I'll need to buy/enroll for each person anyway under the Education offer.

The Individual is considerable cheaper and I assume no difference in the product, so not sure why I would go the way of the Education if I'm gonna have to pay/enroll per user anyway.

Thanks for your assitance!

1 - subscriptions may NOT be shared, each person must have his/her own

2 - education is least expensive IF YOU QUALIFY

3 - a non-profit is not the same as education

TechSoup offers Individual at $20/month. Education at $50/month. Our 501c3 qualifies for Education.

If you're saying Education isn't a multi user product, like a teacher in a classroom full of students then its an easy decsion based on cost alone.

I don't see the same numbers as you do.

I see the Individual subscription is higher than the Education.

Can you post a link?

I think this begs clarification.

1) TechSoup is for non-profit orgs, charities & libraries with 501(c)(3) status.  But certain limitations apply.

2) Individual Students & Teachers may purchase a Creative Cloud All Apps plan directly from Adobe at approx 60% off the regular rates for the first year; 40% off the 2nd year. One plan per user with a 1 year commitment.

3) Colleges/Universites and K-12 or secondary Schools can subscribe to a Creative Cloud EDUCATION plan directly from Adobe. One licensed seat per user, each seat is managed by your school's IT dept admin.

Based on what little you've told us, I think you're looking for the latter.
