Commercial Volume License Option

The Base Volume License Option (BVLO) is intended for smaller regional customers.

This regional, points-based commercial option provides a low point of entry, making it easier than ever for customers to qualify for volume licensing.

Customers of any size can purchase through the BVLO within their region by placing an order between 10 and 99 points.

North American customers can now participate in the BVLO through our Entry Level for purchases from 0-9 points.

The High Volume License Option (HVLO) is intended for mid- to enterprise-level customers.

This worldwide, points-based commercial option provides six levels of discount, and rewards customers for larger purchases.

The HVLO allows multinational customers to purchase licenses at one volume purchase level worldwide, rather than having to qualify regionally.

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:

The following point break has been established for the BVLO. A point break is the number of points you need in order to enter a given program level.

New for North America
Entry Level: 0-9

The following point breaks have been established for each program level within the HVLO. A point break is the number of points you need in order to enter a given program level.

C: 200-499
D: 500-749
E: 750-999
F: 1000-1249
G: 1250 +

North American customers can now participate in the BVLO through our Entry Level for purchases from 0-9 points.

A 10-point minimum is required to qualify for BVLO.

If an HVLO customer places one unique purchase order that would qualify for a higher level, the higher level is honored. Order examples are provided in the FAQ below.

HVLO customers can also enroll their qualified Affiliates under their HVLO membership. Affiliates of a company may purchase under a parent company's MVLP membership, provided that the Affiliate meets the following definition: “An ‘Affiliate’ shall mean a corporation, partnership or venture, in which End User owns at least 50% or more of the outstanding common stock or voting interest of such entity.”

HVLO customers must complete the Affiliate Enrollment form below and attach it with a qualifying purchase order for an Affiliate purchase.

Macromedia offers software subscriptions for purchases made by BVLO and HVLO 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. A software subscription period is two years.

Some important notes on software subscriptions:

• 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.
• The purchase of a subscription is optional.
• If a subscription is purchased, it must be purchased with the license.
• Subscription renewals can 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 MVLP subscription plan contact Macromedia or your reseller.
• Only software upgrades for the products covered by software subscription are included, but no additional software are included.

MVLP customers can maximize their web skills with self-paced, interactive online training from Macromedia University. Online Training Libraries include engaging course content and assessment features, providing you with the flexibility to learn when you want.
