Adobe Captivate and Adobe Presenter Information

How to request purchases for Captivate and Presenter licenses: 

• Place a ticket with the UTC Help Desk by phone (423-425-4000) or email [email protected] to request pricing for an Adobe Captivate and/or Presenter license. 
• Include whether your primary computer’s OS has Windows or MacOS installed; only one license is permitted per installation.

*Due to both applications being packaged and serialized versions, they are not associated with a named license as with the rest of the Adobe CC apps suite. As a result, automatic software updates do not work for these versions and are only updated twice a year by UTK at this time.

Software that does not require Supervisory approval or purchase

Select software is available for installation on personally owned computers from UTK’s software distribution website. Examples of available software are MATLAB, SPSS, SAS and EndNote.
