University devices have Adobe 2024 installed
We recommend that you use the same version of Adobe on your personal devices if you also plan to access your documents on university machines. Some Adobe applications have issues around version compatibility; by choosing to run the same version on your personal devices you will avoid these issues.
As of February 2024, the university is on Adobe 2024.
Any newer upcoming versions (including beta versions) of InDesign, Illustrator, After Effects, Premiere and Substance would have problems opening on university machines.
