Cumulative Licensing Plan & Transactional Licensing Plan. Take control. Seize the savings.

Adobe offers a pair of programs for perpetual license purchases of eligible desktop products. Both offer control and significant savings.

CLP: Set an initial discount level.
Save incrementally.

The Cumulative Licensing Program (CLP) is a two-year licensing program in which members place an initial order for Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, Adobe Captivate, Presenter and other desktop software products. The initial order sets the discount level for that order and additional orders. Members can improve their discount level by accumulating points through the purchase of additional licenses or Upgrade. CLP helps organizations that want to extend discount levels globally and to their affiliates and subsidiaries.

  • Two-year membership
  • Accumulate points for greater savings

TLP: No requirements, no contract.
