Ideal for midsize to large educational institutions
Earn significant discounts on purchases over a two-year term
With Adobe's Cumulative Licensing Program (CLP) 5, your educational entity can cut costs and simplify software administration on volume software licenses over the two-year membership period. Not only do your software orders provide cumulative, consistent savings nationwide, regardless of your location, but CLP 5 also helps your organization streamline software management with centralized tools to keep track of your Adobe software volume licenses.1
Benefits at a glance
- Significant savings
- Among the Adobe Volume Licensing (AVL) programs, CLP 5 offers the most significant savings — for educational institutions in particular. Not only do you realize a substantial savings over the price of shrinkwrapped education software with your initial order, but all qualified orders of any size throughout the two-year membership term also earn the same — or better — discount level. You accumulate points every time you place an order for volume licenses, upgrades, or Upgrade Plan, and as your cumulative point total increases, so does your potential savings. Adobe makes the CLP for education program easily accessible to customers by providing low entry requirements along with deep discounts.
- Budget predictability
- As a new CLP member, you can achieve budget predictability by securing your discount position for the two-year membership term. In addition, by placing a minimum order at the time of renewal, you can secure your discount position for the subsequent membership period. You may also qualify to renew into a given discount level with no minimum order required if the points you have accumulated throughout the term reach or surpass the given discount level.
- Simplified purchasing and deployment
- As a CLP for education member, you can easily track and manage your software licenses through Adobe's easy-to-use, password-protected Licensing Web Site (LWS). This portal enables authorized staff to run reports, track order history, access serial numbers, and download available software from one central location, making it easy to deploy Adobe software to multiple users in various departments and locations across your organization. You can also deploy additional licenses of products you have already licensed any time you need them and consolidate them on one comprehensive purchase order at the end of the month.

- Easy upgrades
- CLP members also have the option to purchase upgrade coverage for their Adobe software licenses. Upgrade Plan enables your organization to purchase any future upgrades of licensed software that are released during your Upgrade Plan term at a percentage of the license price. You can choose to cover one or all of your Adobe software licenses, and Upgrade Plan purchases contribute to your cumulative point total to maximize your overall discount.

Affiliate options
- About
- CLP 5 enables members to include qualified affiliates under the program agreement and designate them as either a Self-enrolled affiliate or a Member-listed affiliate. In both cases, affiliate orders contribute to your organization's cumulative point total, providing even greater savings as combined orders reach higher discount levels.
- Member-listed affiliate
- Member-listed affiliates share the CLP member's software serial numbers, simplifying acquisition and distribution. By selecting this approach, members and affiliates participate in Adobe's CLP with the same Upgrade Plan payment option and have the same designated Adobe License Center. This option is ideal for organizations with a centralized buying environment.
- Self-enrolled affiliate
- Self-enrolled affiliates enroll separately in their own CLP linked to the program member's CLP. Once enrolled, they receive their own CLP agreement number, may place their own orders, receive their own serial numbers for each product, and select their own Upgrade Plan options. All Self-enrolled affiliate orders receive the same discount as the program member and accumulate points toward the program member's CLP. This option is ideal for organizations with a decentralized ordering environment.
- Affiliate qualification and details
- "Affiliate" means an entity that has legal personality and is related to schools, colleges, and/or universities under the ownership or control of the educational institution that is the program member. Affiliates include Member-listed affiliates and Self-enrolled affiliates. An affiliate that participates in CLP by ordering through a member (a "Member-listed affiliate") may do so provided the member (i) is aware of these affiliates and lists them under the agreement and (ii) is responsible for Member-listed affiliates' compliance with the CLP terms and conditions. Member-listed affiliates do not need to separately enroll and may purchase under the member's CLP membership with the same discount level as the member. Affiliates may also participate by becoming a Self-enrolled affiliate. "Self-enrolled affiliate" means any eligible affiliate that enrolls in the CLP separately provided that each such Self-enrolled affiliate (i) references the member's CLP membership agreement number on its enrollment form and (ii) complies with this agreement. Self-enrolled affiliates will receive their own serial numbers, may designate their own reseller, and may choose their own Upgrade Plan payment option. All affiliate ordering and contact information will be visible and available to the member. Members may refuse to allow an affiliate to benefit from this agreement and may terminate an affiliate's participation at any time during the term.

Requirements and purchasing
- About
- To order Adobe desktop software after you become a CLP member, simply contact your Adobe License Center and provide your CLP membership number. Your discount level is based on the size of your initial order of software licenses and Upgrade Plan coverage. This discount level is applied to any subsequent orders within the two-year membership period. All orders are cumulative, so additional purchases over the two-year term may qualify you for an even higher discount level.
- Note: Your discount level is set by Adobe, but your Adobe License Center or reseller determines your actual license pricing.
