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
