Government entities

CLP 4.5 is a membership-based customer loyalty program that rewards Program Members with discount levels over a two-year membership period based on the point value of an initial order. Program Members can achieve deeper discount levels as they and their affiliates continue to accumulate points throughout the two-year period.

CLP members have no further order commitment beyond the initial order.

CLP offers the discount level to all new and upgrade software orders and Upgrade Plan orders.

Program Member represents that it (and each Affiliate Member) is a government entity, which means:

A federal (executive, legislative, or judicial) agency, department, commission, board, office, council, or authority; or

A municipality, special district, city, county, or state governmental agency, department, commission, board, office, council, or authority, or any other agency in the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of state or local government that is created by the constitution or a statute of the governing state, including the district, regional, and state administrative offices.

For the avoidance of doubt, private "for profit" companies, nonprofit organizations, trade or industry associations, and labor unions are not included. Also excluded are private organizations that conduct work on behalf of or with government agencies.

You can complete the CLP 4.5 enrollment process online in just four simple steps:

1. Review the program details on this page.
2. If you want to participate, select the Enroll option.
3. Complete and submit the enrollment form for your customer type.
4. Within 30 days after you receive your CLP membership number, place an initial order that meets or exceeds your initial points target (you will select this on the enrollment form).

Your CLP membership will remain active for two years.

If your organization is a qualified affiliate of an active CLP 4.5 member, you may submit a separate affiliate enrollment form. These enrollments will be linked to the Program Member's CLP 4.5 membership number. You will need to provide the active member's CLP membership number on the affiliate enrollment form.

As a Self-Enrolled Affiliate, you will receive your own set of serial numbers, designate your own ALC, and choose your own Upgrade Plan payment option — yet take advantage of the Program Member's discount level and help improve the overall discount level of the membership.

Within 30 days after you receive your CLP affiliate enrollment number, you must place an initial order with a value of at least 3,500 points.

All CLP 4.5 terms and conditions apply to Self-Enrolled Affiliates, except where noted.

Your CLP membership number and software serial numbers are unique to you and your affiliates. Do not share your Program Member number or serial numbers with any unauthorized parties.

If you include affiliates on your enrollment form, you are responsible for their compliance with the program rules. If affiliates are self-enrolled, they will be individually responsible for compliance with the program rules, including protecting their membership and serial numbers.

Membership in CLP 4.5 for Government is regional. Orders cannot be placed outside the region in which the CLP membership is established. GSA customers: Contact your ALC for Government or Adobe account manager for assistance with enrollment.

The Adobe Discount Level Calculator provides a complete list of products available through CLP, along with their point values for new and upgrade licenses and Upgrade Plan.

Adobe updates the calculator periodically as product availabilities change.

All products and point values are consistent in every region.

Use of software products licensed under CLP is subject to the applicable End-User License Agreements.

You may improve your discount level as you and your enrolled affiliates continue to order.

On the 26th day of each month, Adobe reviews the total points purchased by each Program Member, including its affiliates, from the effective date of the Program Member's CLP 4.5 membership through the 25th of that month.

If a Program Member's total points accumulated through the 25th day have qualified the Program Member for the next discount level, beginning on the first day of the following month, the Program Member is eligible for the improved level. Adobe will send notification of the improved discount level to the Program Member's main contact, designated ALC, and Adobe account manager, and the main contact and designated ALC for each Self-Enrolled Affiliate.

Program Members are responsible for informing any other channel partners with whom they do business that they are eligible for the improved discount level.

You and your affiliates must report all software installation/deployment to the ALC or reseller of your choice within the calendar month during which the activity takes place. All purchases must include your CLP 4.5 membership number as well as other required information for a reseller or ALC to accept the order.

You and your affiliates must retain records of your software installation/deployment as well as records of your license entitlements. To help ensure that your installation/deployment is consistent with your license entitlements, Adobe or its representatives may conduct a verification of your software installation/deployment not more than once per year upon 30 days' notification.

After your CLP enrollment becomes active, Adobe will provide you with access to your online purchase history report, printable customer statements, and a list of your serial numbers through our web-based licensing tool.

If you are a new CLP 4.5 member, you will receive a login and temporary password for the Adobe Licensing Web Site.

Returning CLP members and prior members of the TLP program may continue to use their existing login and password.

You and your affiliates may order hard media from the ALC or Adobe reseller of your choice.

You are not permitted to have more media than licenses.

Each serial number covers a single product, version, language, and platform, except for some products available in both Macintosh and Windows® versions.

For these products, you receive serial numbers for both platforms, even when only one platform is licensed.

You use the same serial number for all installations of a given product.

New serial numbers are issued for upgrades.

Upgrade Plan is a fixed cost that Program Members may pay to receive future versions of software product upgrades covered under Upgrade Plan during the term of their CLP membership.

Upgrade Plan can be purchased for all, some, or none of any purchased licenses.

Program Members receive points for the value of Upgrade Plan purchases.

During the first six months of your CLP membership, you may purchase Upgrade Plan for licenses acquired before your CLP membership term began.

Upgrade Plan costs are nonrefundable, even if Adobe discontinues a covered product.
