The Transactional License Program (TLP) gives small to large organizations the freedom to mix and match Adobe products in a single, cost-effective transaction. Even with as few as 10 workstations, corporate, government, education, and small-business customers are eligible to participate in volume licensing. The TLP covers most Adobe products and is available worldwide. There are no contracts to sign or records to keep, and your organization doesn't have to worry about predicting its future software needs. The TLP evaluates each transaction individually, applying the volume discount appropriate to the size of the transaction.
A minimum of 20 points must be accrued in a single transaction. Each Adobe product is worth one or two points, whether acquiring a new license, upgrading an older version, or obtaining maintenance for a current version of a previously licensed application.
TLP offers the convenience of an easy-to-understand point-based license program. No contracts are needed. Customers can mix and match products.
- Each order qualifies for its own price level
- Flexibility to combine Adobe products to meet the minimum 20-point requirement
- Maintenance available for all products and can be purchased at any time
- New and upgrade licenses available
- License pricing available on bundled products
Corporate customers receive savings from 5 percent to 80 percent off ESP. Government customers receive savings of at least 25 percent off ESP over corporate pricing (depending on product and level). Savings are offered at each tier of pricing.
All Adobe TLP orders must qualify with a minimum of 20 points. This is a transactional program, so reorders do not qualify. If you have significant software requirements, you can receive volume discounts without committing to a forecast quantity.
The end user will receive an electronic certificate confirming purchase of software licenses. Software can be obtained in a variety of ways including:
- Purchase of a shrink-wrap product
- Purchase of a media kit
- Duplication of existing media
- Duplication of existing media provided by a reseller
Maintenance provides protection against frequent version upgrades and carries the same point value as the full or upgrade license in the program. Maintenance is available to TLP customers for new product purchases and existing installations, including shrink-wrap versions.

Base
Volume License Option (BVLO) |
High
Volume License Option (HVLO) |
|
| Description | The Base Volume License
Option (BVLO) is intended for smaller, regional volume customers. This regional, points-based, commercial option provides a low point of entry with one level of discount, making it easier than ever for customers to qualify for volume licensing. Customers of ANY size can purchase through the BVLO within their region by placing an order between 10 and 99 points. |
The High Volume License
Option (HVLO) is intended for mid to enterprise level customers. This worldwide, points-based, commercial option provides six levels of discount, rewarding customers for larger purchases. The HVLO allows multinational customers to purchase licenses at one volume purchase level worldwide, rather than having to qualify regionally. |
| Availability | BVLO customers can purchase within their region with a vaild membership number with no contract required. Customers in Asia Pacific purchasing both commercial and education products must qualify separately.The BVLO does not provide global purchase benefits. | HVLO commercial customers may benefit from worldwide HVLO levels of discount with a vaild membership number with no contract required. For example a customer who qualifies for Level D in Europe would also qualify for Level D in the United States. Customers in Asia Pacific purchasing both commercial and education products must qualify separately. |
| Product Point Assignments | Our award-winning products, subscriptions, technical support and training offerings have been assigned points. These points, multiplied by the quantity purchased, yields total points on an initial order - placing a customer into a particular level of discount. | |
| Program Levels | The following point
break has been established for BVLO. A point break is the number of
points you need in order to enter a given program level. Program Level / Point Break A / 10-99 |
The following point
breaks have been established for each program level within HVLO. A
point break is the number of points you need in order to enter a given
program level. Program Level / Point Break B / 100-199 C / 200-499 D / 500-749 E / 750-999 F / 1000-1249 G / 1250 + |
| Discounts by Level | Discount curves vary by product and by region. Discounts may increase by level (Level C discount is typically higher than Level B discount, etc). However, there are some products where the same discount is in place across all the levels. Technical Support, for example, has the same price across all levels. | |
| Order Minumum | There is a 10-point minimum to qualify for BVLO | There is a 100-point minimum to qualify for Level B of the HVL0 |
| Reorder Minimum | 0 points for reorders with a valid membership number | 0 points for reorders with a qualifying membership number |
| Volume Purchase Level | Under both options, the total points on a customer’s initial order determine the volume purchase level for a two-year period. Customers purchasing both commercial and education products must qualify for separate volume purchase levels. For example, if a customer has a commercial HVLO membership at volume purchase level D, they would not be allowed to buy education product using the same membership. In this case, the customer should place a separate 500 point education order to obtain level D education pricing. | |
| Advancing to the Next Level | If a BVLO customer places one unique purchase order that would qualify for a higher level, the higher level is honored for an additional two-year period. | If an HVLO customer places one unique purchase order that would qualify for a higher level, the higher level is honored for an additional two-year period. |
| Affiliate Enrollment | Affiliate Enrollment is not offered within the BVLO. | HVLO customers can
also enroll their qualified Affiliates under their HVLO membership.
Affiliates of a company may purchase under a parent company's MVLP
membership provided that the Affiliate meets the following definition,
“An ‘Affiliate’ shall mean a corporation, partnership
or venture, in which End User owns at least 50% or more of the outstanding
common stock or voting interest of such entity.” HVLO customers must complete the attached Affiliate Enrollment form and attach it with a qualifying Purchase Order for an Affiliate purchase. |
| Software Subscriptions | Macromedia
offers software subscription for purchases made by BVLO and HVLO customers.
The software subscription offering entitles the customer to free version
upgrades (for example, an upgrade from version 4.0 to 5.0), updates
(for example, from 5.1 to 5.3) and bug fixes during the active subscription
period. A software subscription period is two years. Some important notes on software subscriptions: |

| Technical Support | Bronze, Silver and Gold level technical support is also available through the BVLO and HVLO. Contact our Software Licensing Team for more information. | |

| Procurement | Customers may purchase through our Software Licensing Team. All end user information, including the end user deployment email address, must be included on the purchase order to be submitted to Macromedia. | |
| Education VLO Eligibility Requirements | All bona fide educational institutions such as schools, colleges, universities and other tertiary institutions either state or privately owned, pursuing non-profit making objectives that are purely educational in nature are eligible.

The key to online maintenance is PrimeSupport. Every level of PrimeSupport, from KnowledgeCenter through to PrimeSupport Enterprise includes the entitlement to access software downloads.
The Multinode License pack is priced for a fixed number of subscription or perpetual license users. It includes a registration card for the customer to return so that McAfee can activate support and issue a license grant. Multinode packs are available in configurations of 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 users. A TSP License is ordered with the exact user configuration on a per-node basis, along with the appropriate PrimeSupport service. Customers may order exact node TSP licenses for 51 and above users.
