On 8 April Adobe changed the name of the inexpensive Acrobat Classic to Acrobat Pro 2024. The product hasn’t changed. The per annum cost remains at £39.48 + VAT for education and charity Users. (When Acrobat Classic was launched is was over £80 + VAT per annum).
This relatively inexpensive 3 year Term License was introduced by Adobe to help customers with perpetual licenses of Acrobat Pro 2020 and Acrobat Pro 2017 transition to subscription licensing when Acrobat Pro goes end of life on 31 May (and end of support 30 November 2025).
If they choose to do so, new to Adobe subscription license customers can purchase the license for 3 years. Customers who already have Adobe subscription licenses can add Acrobat Pro 2024 to their existing Adobe account and the cost is pro-rated to the remainder of their Adobe year.
Acrobat Classic/Pro 2024 is proving popular with a lot of Entec customers who have taken out subscriptions as, although the facilities aren’t as comprehensive as Acrobat Pro DC (the full Acrobat subscription license) it satisfies the requitements of many Users who just need the key Acrobat functions.
