You’re using a named license which is different from a shared license. A shared license allows anyone within our organization (I.e. students) to use their login to authorize the program. We have to build a new package every time they change how the shared license system is setup.

That’d be too easy and we can’t have that.

But yeah, even if it IS tax deductible, for me it's just over $20 a month for InDesign alone!
