Learn about how to migrate users when switching from Value Incentive Plan (VIP) to Adobe.com direct license agreement.
This document is aimed at organizations with existing Creative Cloud for teams licenses through a Value Incentive Plan (VIP) subscription that are migrating to Adobe.com direct license agreement. Under this agreement, you can purchase a teams product directly from Adobe.com.
Note:
If the license type of your organization changes, to continue working your end users must sign out of any Adobe product or service and then sign back in with the same credentials.
For desktop products such as Photoshop, Acrobat, and Illustrator, use the Sign-out and Sign in options in the Help menu. On Adobe.com, use the icon in the upper-right corner to sign out and then sign back.
To ensure a hassle-free migration for the end user, you must assign licenses in the Adobe Admin Console before the existing VIP subscription term ends.
Why move from VIP subscription to Adobe.com direct license agreement
Migration enables existing teams VIP customers to migrate to Adobe.com direct license agreement during renewal window on their existing VIP contract. Adobe.com direct license is apt for organizations that prefer to pay for their subscription monthly using a corporate credit card.
