Rationalising Adobe Licensing: Getting ahead of the Audit
Conclusion: Adobe’s ‘Cloud’ licensing model, coupled with aggressive auditing tactics, is causing discomfort for organisations in Australia. In the past, organisations used Adobe’s persistent licensing to deploy Adobe’s products in a largely ad hoc fashion. Now these organisations are being scrutinised by Adobe, and finding themselves out of compliance. Reducing the organisation’s Adobe exposure should be considered a priority.
