Attention: All products purchased under the ETLA will expire on 25 November 2025. KIT has rejoined the new framework agreement, which runs from 26 November 2025 to 25 September 2029.

Adobe has framework agreements with German higher education institutions, represented by the LRZ, called Enterprise Term License Agreements (ETLA). These agreements set preferential prices for Adobe products. The current ETLA runs from 23 November 2022 to 22 November 2025. The new ETLA covers the period from 26 November 2025 to 25 September 2029. Any existing license includes a grace period covering 23 to 25 November 2025.

Procedure for the transition from ELTA_old to ELTA_new:

• The licenses of all current license holders (ELTA_old) will be revoked on 25.11.2025 at 18:00.

• The licenses ordered by all license holders of ELTA_new will be stored and activated in the Adobe portal on 26.11.2025.

  • The ordering process will no longer take place via the KIT Software Shop but via a separate SCC webpage.

  • Any costs for the ordered licenses will be internally billed within KIT.

This procedure ensures correct accounting of all costs.
