WHAT'S HAPPENING

Acrobat 2015 end of support campaign kit is now localized

The Acrobat 2015 end of support campaign kit is now available for French, German, Spanish, Italian, Turkish, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese. You can access the Acrobat 2015 end of support campaign kits on Consumer and Business Connection (you must log in to access).

Starting April 7, 2020, Adobe will no longer offer technical support or security updates for any edition of Adobe Acrobat 2015 or Adobe Reader 2015, as outlined in Adobe’s support lifecycle policy . This gives you an opportunity to reach out to these customers to migrate them to subscription before product support ends on April 7, 2020. And now is the perfect time to let them know that there are migration offers available—no matter their footprint—when they move from Acrobat 2015 to Acrobat DC in the Value Incentive Plan (VIP).

Contact your Adobe channel account manager for information on accessing customer lists, pricing, and SKUs.

Adobe Stock Credit Packs for education customers

Adobe Stock Credit Packs are now available for sale to education customers. However, please note the following when selling Adobe Stock to these customers:

In VIP, currently only Stock for teams products are available—subscriptions and credit packs. Team subscriptions must be assigned to a user to be activated, while credit packs do not require activation after purchase. In both cases, the entitlement is automatically shared with all users of the organization.

Because the Adobe Stock site contains images that are not appropriate for children under the age of 18, and there is no way to disable Adobe Stock for just those users, sales people should be cautious when selling Adobe Stock to education customers that may have children as end users.

The auto-sharing of Adobe Stock for teams products is expected and intentional product behavior. Configurable access to using a Stock entitlement is available in Stock for enterprise.

C&B Connection available in multiple languages
