TLP 5 benefits at a glance
- Earn discounts without a contract
- Why buy retail software when you could qualify to get the same products at an attractive discount and with additional benefits? For every eligible TLP 5 order of new or upgrade Adobe software licenses or of Upgrade Plan, you receive points. Your discount level is based on the total point value of each volume license order placed, and there is no minimum order size. The more licenses you acquire in a single transaction, the more opportunity you have to save on the entire order. It's that simple.
- Gain control of your software licenses
- Keeping track of individual retail purchases and subsequent software usage across your entire organization can be resource-intensive. By acquiring Adobe software licenses though TLP 5, you will have a permanent record of the licenses your organization has ordered. TLP 5 provides access to Adobe's Licensing Web Site (LWS), the easy-to-use, password-protected portal that enables you to track and manage your Adobe software licenses online in one central location. With Adobe's LWS, you can run reports, track order history, access serial numbers, and download available software.

- Simplify deployment and compliance
- TLP 5 orders provide a single serial number per product (per platform) across your entire organization, so IT staff can build a standard image for installation on each computer to get users up and running quickly. By ordering your software through TLP 5 and using Adobe's LWS to manage your licenses, you can eliminate the countless hours it often takes to monitor deployed retail software while ensuring your organization is in compliance with its Adobe software licenses.
- Manage software upgrades efficiently
- As an Adobe Volume Licensing (AVL) customer, you have the option to purchase upgrade coverage for your Adobe software licenses. Upgrade Plan enables you to purchase the right to any future upgrades released during your Upgrade Plan coverage period at a percentage of the license price. Upgrade Plan is offered per product, so you have the option to cover one or all of your Adobe software licenses, and Upgrade Plan purchases contribute to the total points of a TLP order, so you can maximize your discount. By investing in Upgrade Plan, your organization can more efficiently manage software upgrades and achieve budget predictability.
