Adobe Pantone options

Pantone is no longer being included in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign. Here is their Pantone Connect X Adobe FAQ where you can read about the change and options they are offering.

Individual Pantone Purchase Option MIT does not have a license for Pantone. If you wish to license this third party product, please send an email request "From: yourkerb@mit.edu" To: Shonna R Patterson shonnapatterson@pantone.com. Pantone will verify your MIT affiliation, then provide a coupon code where you will receive an academic discount to purchase the license at $35.99 per year. Pantone has confirmed that this license can be used with your MIT Adobe licensed applications distributed to your MIT Federated ID.
