For every eligible TLP 5 for education 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.
