School Site vs. District Licensing

Adobe offers both school site and district licenses; which you choose will depend on the number of licenses you need and where you want to deploy them.

Consortium Tip: Districts with up to 10,000 ADM or less typically buy School Site licenses.

Districts with 20,000 ADM or more typically buy District licenses.

If you have between 10,000-20,000 students, contact OETC and we can help you figure out which is best for you.

School Site 500 Named Users Or/And 100 Shared Devices

District 2,500 Named Users Or/And 500 Shared Devices
Minimum MSRP: $12,500 (at $5 per user) MSRP: $12,500 (at $25 per device)
