Hello,
Last
spring, the university launched its Acrobat for Faculty Grants program.
Under this program, a copy of Adobe Acrobat Professional is made available at
no cost to members of the faculty who submit grants and meet certain criteria
specified by the Office of the Vice Provost.
Copies
of Adobe Acrobat Professional circulated under the Acrobat for Faculty Grants
program are covered under a maintenance agreement. This agreement
entitles license holders to software upgrades when they become available.
This past
June, Adobe released Acrobat 9, an upgrade to Acrobat 8. Then in July,
NIH certified Acrobat 9 for use with their grants.gov site. Since
participants in the Acrobat for Faculty Grants program are entitled to the
software upgrade, we wanted to give you some advance notice of the
upgrade’s availability before we contact those researchers participating
in the program.
Within
the next two weeks, UIT will be sending an email to all program participants
making them aware of the availability of the upgrade. In order to obtain
the upgrade we will be adhering to the following procedure:
1. Participants interested in
upgrading their software will be asked to email
uitsc tufts edu to request an upgrade.
2. The UIT Support Center will
approve/record the upgrade request and notify the appropriate software
coordinator.
3. We’ll then be requesting
that the software coordinator arrange with the local FSP to have the upgrade
installed.
All
upgrade requests must be approved by the UIT Support Center and tracked
centrally in order to ensure license compliance. The installer for
Acrobat 9 can be found on the Software share in the FSP folder.
This
procedure will allow us to continue tracking the licenses and will also help us
ensure that the university gets the maximum value from its investment.
If you
have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to
contact me.
