Earn significant discounts on purchases over a two-year term

With Adobe's Cumulative Licensing Program (CLP) 5, your organization can cut costs and simplify software administration on volume software licenses over a two-year membership period. Not only do your software orders provide cumulative, consistent savings worldwide, regardless of your location, but CLP 5 also helps your organization streamline software management with centralized tools to track and manage your Adobe software volume licenses.

CLP 5 Benefits At A Glance

Significant Savings - Among the Adobe Volume Licensing programs, CLP 5 offers the most significant savings. Not only do you receive a substantial savings over the retail price with your initial order, but all qualified orders of any size throughout the two-year membership term earn the same — or better — discount level. Orders accumulate points, and as your cumulative point total increases, so does your potential savings.

Budget Predictability - As a new CLP 5 member, you can achieve budget predictability by securing your discount position for your two-year membership. In addition, by placing a minimum order at the time of renewal, you can secure your discount position for the subsequent membership period. You may also qualify to renew into a given discount level with no minimum order required if the points you have accumulated throughout the term reach or surpass the given discount level.

Simplified Purchasing and Deployment - As a CLP 5 member, you can easily track and manage your software licenses through Adobe's easy-to-use, password-protected Licensing Web Site (LWS). 

Easy Upgrades - CLP members also have the option to purchase upgrade coverage for their Adobe software licenses. Upgrade Plan enables your organization to purchase any future upgrades of licensed software that are released during your Upgrade Plan term at a percentage of the license price.

Affiliate options

CLP 5 enables members to include qualified worldwide affiliates under the program agreement and designate them as either Self-enrolled or Member-listed. In both cases, affiliate orders contribute to your organization’s cumulative point total, providing even greater savings as combined orders reach higher discount levels.


CLP 5 Discount Levels
The number of points in your initial order indicate the discount level at which you will begin your membership term. In addition, you can also increase your discount level during your membership as you place more orders and reach the next level's points minimum. See the CLP 5 discount levels table below for commercial, education, and government members.
