Adobe Open Options CLP 4.5 — Commercial

CLP 4.5 is a membership-based customer loyalty program that rewards Program Members with discount levels over a two-year membership period based on the point value of an initial order. Program Members can achieve deeper discount levels as they and their affiliates continue to accumulate points throughout the two-year period.

CLP offers the discount level to all new and upgrade software orders and Upgrade Plan orders.

You can complete the CLP 4.5 enrollment process online in just four simple steps:

1. Review the program details on this page.
2. If you want to participate, select the Enroll option.
3. Complete and submit the enrollment form for your customer type.
4. Within 30 days after you receive your CLP membership number, place an initial order that meets or exceeds your initial points target (you will select this on the enrollment form).

Your CLP membership will remain active for two years.

If your organization is a qualified affiliate of an active CLP 4.5 member, you may submit a separate affiliate enrollment form. These Self-Enrolled Affiliates will be linked to the Program Member's CLP 4.5 membership number. You will need to provide the active member's CLP membership number on the affiliate enrollment form. Note: Affiliates of commercial organizations with CLP 4.0 memberships must complete and sign a written schedule to become a Self-Enrolled Affiliate. Contact your CLP 4.0 member's designated Adobe License Center (ALC) for assistance.

As a Self-Enrolled Affiliate, you will receive your own set of serial numbers, designate your own ALC, and choose your own Upgrade Plan payment option — yet take advantage of the Program Member's discount level and help improve the overall discount level of the membership.

Within 30 days after you receive your CLP affiliate enrollment number, you must place an initial order with a value of at least 3,500 points.

All CLP 4.5 terms and conditions apply to Self-Enrolled Affiliates, except where noted.

Your CLP membership number and your software serial numbers are unique to you and your affiliates. Do not share your CLP membership number or any serial numbers with any unauthorized parties.

If you include affiliates on your enrollment form, you are responsible for their compliance with the program rules. If affiliates are Self-Enrolled, they will be individually responsible for compliance with the program rules, including protecting their membership and serial numbers.

The Adobe Commercial Discount Level Calculator provides a complete list of products available through CLP, along with their point values for new and upgrade licenses and Upgrade Plan.

Adobe updates the calculator periodically as product availabilities change.

All products and point values are consistent worldwide.

Use of software products licensed under CLP is subject to the applicable End-User License Agreements.

You may improve your discount level as you and your enrolled affiliates continue to order.

On the 26th day of each month, Adobe reviews the total points purchased by each Program Member, including its affiliates, from the effective date of the Program Member's CLP 4.5 membership through the 25th of that month.

If a Program Member's total points accumulated through the 25th day have qualified the Program Member for the next discount level, beginning on the first day of the following month, the Program Member is eligible for the improved level. Adobe will send notification of the improved discount level to the Program Member's main contact, designated ALC, and Adobe account manager, and the main contact and designated ALC for each Self-Enrolled Affiliate.

Program Members are responsible for informing any other channel partners with whom they do business that they are eligible for an improved discount level.

You and your Self-Enrolled Affiliates must report all software installation/deployment to the ALC or reseller of your choice by the end of the calendar month in which this activity took place. All purchases must include your CLP 4.5 membership number as well as other required information for a reseller or ALC to accept the order.

You and your affiliates must retain records of your software installation/deployment as well as records of your license entitlements. To ensure that your installation/deployment is consistent with your license entitlements, Adobe or its representatives may conduct a verification of your software installation/deployment not more than once per year upon 30 days' notification.

After your CLP enrollment becomes active, Adobe will provide you with access to your online purchase history report, printable customer statements, and a list of your serial numbers through our web-based licensing tool.

If you are a new CLP member, you will receive a login and temporary password for the Adobe Licensing Web Site. Returning CLP members or prior members of the TLP program may continue to use their existing login and password.

You and your affiliates may order hard media from the ALC or Adobe reseller of your choice.

You are not permitted to have more media than licenses.

Each serial number covers a single product, version, language, and platform, except for some products available in both Macintosh and Windows® versions.

For these products, you receive serial numbers for both platforms, even when only one platform is licensed.

You use the same serial number for all installations of a given product.

New serial numbers are issued for upgrades.

Upgrade Plan is a fixed cost that you may pay to receive future versions of software product upgrades covered under Upgrade Plan during the term of your CLP membership.

Upgrade Plan can be purchased for all, some, or none of any purchased licenses.

You receive points for the value of your Upgrade Plan purchases.

During the first six months of your CLP membership, you may purchase Upgrade Plan for licenses acquired prior to your CLP membership term.

Upgrade Plan costs are nonrefundable, even if Adobe discontinues a covered product.
