Education Volume License Program

Base Education Volume License Program (EVLP) is intended for all eligible education customers.

This points-based option provides three levels of discount and a low point of entry making it easier than ever for customers to qualify for volume discounts.

Eligible education institutions of any size can purchase through the Base EVLP by placing an order between 0 and 249 points.

High Volume Education Volume License Program (EVLP) is intended for all eligible education customers.

This points-based option provides two levels of discount and rewards customers for larger purchases.

The High Volume EVLP allows education customers to purchase licenses at one consistent volume purchase level institution-wide with no point minimum for reorders.

• Significant discounts on all Macromedia products with no minimum order requirement.
• No contract required.
• The greater the size of the order, the greater the discount.
• Subscriptions are available (but not required) to keep your software updated and current for two years.
• Allows mixing and matching of products and platforms.
• One CD set is included per order at no additional cost.

Our award-winning products, subscriptions, technical support, and training offerings have been assigned points. These points, multiplied by the quantity purchased, yields total points on an initial order—placing a customer into a specific discount level. The following is a short list of products and their point values:

Discount curves vary by product type. Discounts may increase by level (for example, a Level C discount is typically higher than Level B discount). However, there are some products where the same discount applies across all the levels. Technical Support, for example, has the same price across all levels.

North American education customers may now participate in the Base EVLP through our Entry Level for purchases from 0-9 points.

A 10-point minimum is required to qualify for Level A Base EVLP.

Macromedia offers software subscriptions for purchases made by Base EVLP and High Volume EVLP customers. The software subscription offering entitles the customer to free version upgrades (for example, an upgrade from version 4.0 to 5.0), updates (for example, from 5.1 to 5.3) and bug fixes during the active subscription period when and if available. Macromedia will determine at its sole discretion what constitutes an upgrade, update, or bug fix.  A software subscription period is two years.

Some important notes on software subscriptions:

• The purchase of a subscription is optional.
• If a subscription is purchased, it must be purchased with the license.
• Customer subscription coverage begins with the initial product purchase date and expires on the last day of the month after the two-year anniversary date.
• Subscription renewals may be purchased up to 90 days prior to the subscription expiration date. Customers will be advised of their renewal opportunities well in advance of the subscription expiration. To learn more about renewing your EVLP subscription plan contact Macromedia or your reseller.

Only software upgrades for the products covered by software subscription are included; no additional products are included.

One of the primary benefits of licensing is that customers receive the right mix of media. For example, a customer initially ordering 100 licenses of Dreamweaver will automatically receive:

• Software (one CD at no charge, although customers may still be charged the appropriate freight fee)

• The EVLP License Certificate, which includes:

  • A unique program membership number.
  • Right to Copy licenses in accordance with the license purchase.
  • One multi-user serial number per product family, also in accordance with the license purchase for customers within Levels A through D. Customers will be given a separate serial number for every unit purchased in the Entry Level.
  • Terms and Conditions.

Customers may purchase documentation or additional CDs for a nominal fee at quantities not to exceed the number of licenses purchased. Documentation will not be shipped unless specifically ordered, as all documents are available in electronic version on the software CD.
