Adobe Cumulative Licensing Program 5 for government

Benefits at a glance

Significant savings

CLP 5 offers significant savings over retail prices. Government entities receive especially compelling savings. Not only do you receive a substantial savings with your initial order, but all qualified orders of any size throughout the two-year membership term earn the same — or better — discount level. Orders accumulate points, and as your cumulative point total increases, so does your potential savings.

Budget predictability

As a new CLP 5 member, you can achieve budget predictability by securing your discount position for your two-year membership. In addition, by placing a minimum order at the time of renewal, you can secure your discount position for the subsequent membership period as well. 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 5 for government member, you can easily track and manage your software licenses through Adobe's easy-to-use, password-protected Licensing Website (LWS). This portal enables authorized government 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 5 for government 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 for government enables members to include qualified nationwide affiliates under the program agreement and designate them as either Self-enrolled or Member-listed. In both cases, affiliate orders contribute to your government 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 reseller. 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 any government entity that is subject to the same organizational, political, and regulatory schemes as the government entity that is the member. For example, where a state government is the member, counties, boroughs, and/or municipalities are affiliates.

Affiliates include Member-listed affiliates and Self-enrolled affiliates. Affiliates that participate in the CLP by ordering through a member (Member-listed affiliates) may do so provided that the member is aware of these affiliates and lists them under the agreement, and the member is responsible for the 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 their member. Affiliates may also participate by becoming Self-enrolled affiliates. "Self-enrolled affiliate" means any eligible affiliate that enrolls in the CLP separately provided that each such Self-enrolled affiliate references the member's CLP membership agreement number on its enrollment form and complies with this agreement. Self-enrolled affiliates receive their own serial numbers, may designate their own reseller, and 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/or may terminate an affiliate's participation at any time during the term.

YOU MIGHT ALSO CONSIDER

Adobe volume licensing customers can maximize their overall savings on Adobe software by participating in both Adobe Enterprise Agreement (EA) 2 and CLP 5. Existing CLP customers can leverage their current CLP discount level for their initial EA purchase as well as additional purchases throughout their three-year EA term. And as an EA 2 customer, you can earn CLP points on your Acrobat and Creative Suite purchases to contribute to your overall CLP discount levels. CLP membership is not required for EA 2 customers, but it is highly recommended. To achieve the greatest benefits both programs have to offer, become a CLP member—if you aren't already—before you enroll in EA 2.

If you don't want to commit to a membership, your organization can still take advantage of volume pricing through Adobe's Transactional Licensing Program (TLP). TLP 5 for government is a transaction-based program with no minimum order requirement.
