Taxation of License Orders
- Tax is charged for an entire order when CD/DVD media or documentation is purchased with licenses.
ITS generally has the media available to install your software, so you don't need to buy it.
- If you do not purchase media when ordering from SHI, you will not be taxed when you certify this statement
on the order form:
“All products purchased on this order are to be distributed via electronic download only. No tangible media or
documentation is to be shipped in association with this order. Access to the products purchased on this order
is in no way dependent upon any tangible media that may have been received prior to, or separately from, this order.”

Adobe Home Use Information
Most Adobe EULAs do include work-at-home use rights for faculty and staff. Under these rights, if your
department has purchased an Adobe license for your use at work, you may install the same product on one
computer at home for your exclusive use. The user may not use the software both on their primary computer
and the secondary computer at the same time. The actual license, however, belongs to the university;
when you leave the university you have no right to continue using the software at home and must uninstall
it immediately. To request home use, please contact:
