Software
Title | Access | Notes |

Title | Access | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Adobe Creative Cloud | Use on a personal computer ends on retirement date. Can still access in SU public computer labs and via SU's remote environment (rds.syr.edu). | Adobe Cloud storage is reduced to 2gb. If you had over 2gb stored prior to retirement, make sure to download your files as soon as possible. |
ArcGIS Pro | Ends in August when annual license expires. |
|
Autodesk products | Check your Autodesk account. | Will likely continue to function until the annual renewal date. |
Conceptboard | Ends 30 days after the retirement date. | Account will be removed from School team and downgraded to a free account. |
Microsoft Office | Continues past retirement. |
|
Arch Computer Labs and Arch RemoteLab
Access is disabled upon retirement.
SU Google Drive Files
Access to your SU Google Drive files and @g.syr.edu account will be removed upon retirement.
There are a couple of ways to save your My Drive data.
Migrate it directly to a personal Google account using Google's automated migration service.
Download the data using Google Takeout (full data export) and then upload it to personal cloud storage or save on your computer.
Warning: Don't rely on keeping a synced/offline copy of your SU Google Drive in lieu of one of the above methods. Files in Google's own formats like Docs, Sheets, etc., are shortcuts to the files that only exist in Google's Cloud. Only by using Google Takeout or downloading will the files be preserved (they are converted to Microsoft Office formats upon downloading).
Files stored in Google Shared Drives must be downloaded in order to be saved.
SU OneDrive Files
Access to your SU OneDrive account will be maintained through annual password changes.
If you added SU OneDrive access to your personal computer and let it redirect your Desktop, Documents and Pictures to the SU OneDrive account, files in these locations will be lost if SU ever removes your OneDrive access.
If you disconnect the SU OneDrive by signing out of the OneDrive app, files in these redirected locations will be removed and you'll see a 'Where are my files?' icon. You can double click the icon and redownload the files back to your Desktop, Documents and Pictures.
Alternatively, before you disconnect the SU OneDrive, copy or move the files to a temporary location on your computer, i.e., create a folder on the C drive called Temp (C:\Temp). Then disconnect SU OneDrive and move the files back to Desktop, Documents and Pictures after.
