Education / Cumulative Licensing Program
What is the Cumulative Licensing Program (CLP)?
Designed to benefit medium to large institutions, CLP is a two-year membership program that offers significant savings on volume purchases of Adobe products and simplifies software administration.
Turn points into savings
Every qualified order accumulates points. As your point total increases, so do your potential savings.
Gain and maintain control
Easily track and manage software licenses through Adobe's password-protected Licensing Web Site (LWS).
Simplify with a single serial number
Orders of the same product, version, and platform share a single serial number for simplified installation and tracking.
