Adobe Volume Licensing Programs
Adobe's volume licensing programs offer corporations, creative agencies, government and education entities, and small to midsize businesses membership in Adobe's licensing community with convenient, flexible, and affordable licensing options. In some cases, you can qualify for a volume licensing program discount with only one product license.
Save money
Adobe's volume licensing program members qualify for discounts based on purchasing more than one license at a time. Whether you place an order as needed within our transactional licensing program (TLP), or recurring orders as desired within the two-year CLP membership program, the more you order, the greater the discount level you achieve and the more you save.
Save time
In addition to the discount on volume purchases, Adobe's licensing programs provide a means to optimise your license management via the Licensing Web Site (LWS) tool, allowing you to streamline
software administration, record-keeping, and legal compliance. This ability to easily track and manage your Adobe licenses affords peace of mind and saves you time.
Adobe's licensing programs and discount levels
Adobe offers multiple volume licensing program options—all of which save you money, time, and provide benefits not found elsewhere—to accommodate the different purchasing preferences of Adobe customers. Discounts are based on point level accumulation. Each order placed is associated with a corresponding number of points, which qualifies you for a specific discount level. The greater the volume ordered, the greater the number of points and discount level, and the greater the corresponding discount. The interactive Discount Level Calculator can help you calculate which discount level you qualify for, based on the products you plan to order. Adobe's volume licensing program options are offered under Adobe's Open Options licensing program, and include the TLP and CLP programs.
CLP program: Membership-based volume licensing program
The CLP program is a two-year, membership-based program ideally suited to larger organisations seeking simplified purchase management and software deployment. Benefits include a deep discount schedule, complimentary Electronic Software Delivery, and the ability to share membership benefits
across distributed organisations. In addition, orders of any size can be placed at any time throughout the membership term and will contribute to the point level accumulation and discount level. There is no need to wait until you have a significant order volume to place an order and begin using the software.
TLP program: Transactionbased volume licensing program
The TLP program is a transactionbased program that is ideally suited to organisations that want to make easy, one-time purchases. Benefits include a generous discount schedule, online tracking of all transactions, a single serial number per product, and a single license certificate per transaction containing all serial numbers, units, platforms, and product licenses.
1 Upgrade Plan orders may be placed for previously held current version (legacy) licenses through the sixth month of the membership.
2 Can include organizational subgroups, departments, and majority-owned subsidiaries worldwide.
3 For initial order; subsequent orders during CLP term have no minimum.
Upgrade Plan
All Adobe® Open Options licensees have the option to purchase Upgrade Plan per licensed product, which entitles licensees to receive all upgrades for the products covered throughout the Upgrade Plan coverage term. Other than the Upgrade Plan membership fee, there is no charge for physical media, shipping, or Electronic Software Delivery for covered product upgrades throughout the term of the Plan. Upgrade Plan purchases also contribute to the overall point value and discount level. Software upgrades are made available via Adobe's Licensing Web Site (LWS) or through physical media, providing flexibility in managing software versions. In addition, you have the flexibility to standardise across the organisation, if desired, or to allow your users to self-manage their software version usage.
