Changes to centrally managed licences
Some changes will soon take place for some of our centrally managed software licences. Some software will be replaced with new versions, some prices will be adjusted upwards to meet increased costs from manufacturers, and others will be adjusted downwards as we have managed to negotiate better prices.
Price information can be found in Wisum, which also indicates the date on which the price will apply. This applies to both new orders and ongoing subscriptions.
Adobe Creative Cloud CCE
Current version: Education.
Replaced with: Professional.
Change: Price increase.
Details: Adobe Creative Cloud Education will be replaced by Adobe Creative Cloud Professional, a broader product that includes the same software as before but now also Adobe Stock. The price has been the same for six years, but for the upcoming contract period, it means an increase.
FileMaker Pro
Change: Price reduction.
Details: Price reduction as we have managed to lower the cost of the software.
Graphpad Prism
Change: Price increase.
Details: As previously communicated, the manufacturer revised its prices for the academic sector already in 2023. It had a minor impact last year when the price was raised, but with the new agreement, it is raised further. The software is licenced per installation, and shortly, an email will be sent to users with more than one licence, so they can decide if they still need all licences and how these can be deactivated. Such deactivations occur without a notice period.
JMP Pro
Replaced with: JMP Student Edition.
Change: Now offered for free.
Details: JMP Pro has been replaced by JMP Student Edition, which can also be used for academic research. It is now offered for free. Functionally, there is no difference between it and Pro. The difference is how the software is activated.
Information on how to install it will first be sent to people with a licence for JMP Pro but will soon be communicated so that others within KI can use it. The information will be available in the installation portals for the KI computer clients; outside Coordinated IT, the Licence Coordinators will have more information.
Microsoft Project Plan 3 / 5
Change: Name change to Microsoft Planner and Project Plan 3 / 5.
Details: Microsoft is making changes and integrating its products related to projects and tasks. As part of this, they are renaming the most influential titles.
SPSS
Change: Price reduction.
Details: Version 29 is currently available in the installation portals but will soon be replaced by the latest version 30. Previously, this was not possible during the current contract year.
