About Adobe Volume Licensing

Adobe Volume Licensing (AVL) program members earn significant savings on Adobe software by purchasing more than one software license at a time. Whether you consolidate your organization's software purchases into one comprehensive transaction or spread your purchases out over a two-year membership period, Adobe has a volume licensing program to meet your needs. No matter which program you choose, the more you order, the greater your potential savings.

Points and discount levels

Every time you make an Adobe Volume Licensing purchase, you earn points (approximately £ 0.62). This point system enables Adobe to use a common terminology worldwide, regardless of currency. The number of points you've earned determines the discount level for which you will qualify in your AVL program. Adobe offers two program options, each with unique discount level structures. In addition, each program offers special pricing for government and education customers.
