Ways to qualify for volume discounts
Qualify for volume discounts with a single purchase
As a VIP Marketplace member with fewer than 10 licenses, you can automatically qualify for volume discounts with a single order of 10 or more licenses. Place an order for the minimum license quantity for your preferred discount level, and your membership will automatically receive the respective volume discount.
Qualify for volume discounts at renewal
You can qualify for volume discounts with your renewal order. Your volume discount is automatically calculated based on the licenses renewed in your auto-renewal order.
If your renewal total is 10 licenses or more, then that renewal order and subsequent orders of any size qualify for the volume discount earned at renewal. You can add more licenses to achieve the 50- and 100-license thresholds for higher discounts.
Note:
Note: Volume discounts apply to qualifying licenses only. The following offers do not count toward obtaining VIP Marketplace discount levels or meeting a Member’s 3-year minimum number of licenses commitment. These offers include, but are not limited to: Consumables, Adobe Acrobat Sign Solutions Subscription for Government, Adobe Acrobat Classic, AI Assistant for Acrobat, Adobe Express for Education, and Generative Credits Add-ons.
Qualify for VIP Marketplace 3-year commit
Your organization has the option to receive set partner pricing1 for up to three years on all qualifying and available products when you commit to auto-renew a set number of licenses (Minimum Commit) on Member’s first and second Anniversary Date in VIP Marketplace. In exchange, Adobe agrees to offer set discounted partner pricing during Member’s 3-year commit term. The Minimum Commitment must be a minimum of 10 licenses. 3-year commit allows budgeting for up to 3 years.
Additional discounts with 3-year commit
For commercial and government customers, 3-year commit offers an even bigger discount as compared to 1-year subscriptions. When VIP Marketplace Members accept the 3-year commit, their Discount Level is transitioned to the corresponding 3-year commit Discount Level, which has additional discounts. For example, if a Member with Discount Level 2 accepts 3-year commit, then their VIP Marketplace Agreement is transitioned to Discount Level 12. Similarly, if a Member with Discount Level 3 or 4 accepts 3-year commit, then their Agreement will be transitioned to Discount Level 13 or 14, respectively.
To learn about specific discounts for each Adobe product, contact your reseller, who can explain how you can save through higher license quantities and, more significantly, through 3-year commit.
For additional information on VIP Marketplace 3-year commit, see <Licensing term options>.
Note:
Note: Consumables and licenses are tracked separately for 3-year commit. A Member may commit to purchase a certain quantity of Consumables (Adobe Acrobat Sign Transactions) or licenses (Named User) and will receive a corresponding discount on each type of commitment.
1 Specific pricing is always between the reseller and the VIP Marketplace Member. Adobe will offer the same price to Adobe’s direct channel partner during a 3-year commit term. Certain currencies may be affected by fluctuations in exchange rates.
Steps to getting started with 3-year commit
-
-
Initiate a 3-year commit
- Your reseller will initiate a VIP Marketplace 3-year commit invitation with your preferred minimum license commitment quantity. The invitation can be sent before your first order.
-
Accept 3-year commit
- After the 3-year commit invitation has been initiated, your organization will receive an email with an invitation to accept the 3-year commit agreement. You'll need to review and accept the VIP Marketplace 3-year commit terms. When a 3-year commit invitation was initiated before the Minimum Commitment quantity of licenses or transactions were purchased, an order meeting the defined Minimum Commitment quantity must be placed within 7 days of accepting the agreement. If an order that meets the defined Minimum Commitment quantity is not placed within 7 days, then the account will not be enrolled in the 3-year commit and will not receive its benefits.
-
Add licenses with set partner pricing1 at any time
- Purchase new licenses or Transactions with the partner pricing1 offered by Adobe when you accepted your 3-year commit amendment, even if you haven’t yet licensed that particular product.
Examples of 3-year commit agreements
When you accept 3-year commit, you agree to auto-renew a set number of licenses on your Anniversary Date during the 3-year commit term. And in exchange, Adobe agrees to offer set discounted partner pricing 1 for you during the 3-year commit term for all qualifying and available products. You will renew (annually) twice during the 3-year term at the set license quantity. Here are two examples:
Example A: Auto-renewal of Minimum Commitment during 3-year commit. An organization purchases 120 licenses. They immediately accept 3-year commit, agreeing to maintain a minimum of 120 licenses through the 3-year commit term. Their licenses renew automatically on their 2nd and 3rd Anniversary Dates.
Example B: Ordering more than your Minimum Commitment does not increase your Minimum Commitment. An organization wants to commit to 1,000 Transactions but has not yet placed an order. Their reseller initiates a 3-year commit invitation set with a Minimum Commitment quantity of 1,000 Transactions. The Member accepts the 3-year commit agreement and places an order for 1,000 Transactions within seven days. Later, they add 20 licenses, but they are only obligated to maintain their Minimum Commitment quantity of 1,000 Transactions in years 2 and 3.
Product availability during a 3-year commit subscription term
Adobe is constantly innovating and may release new products available for purchase through VIP Marketplace at any time. If, after you’ve joined 3-year commit, a new product is released and becomes available for purchase through VIP Marketplace, then the initial price of that product will also be included in your 3-year commit pricing.
Adobe may discontinue the availability of a product at any time. If this occurs during a 3-year commit term, a Member can no longer purchase the product after its last sale date.
Promotional pricing under 3-year commit
Promotional pricing is available only for an initial qualifying purchase. Under 3-year commit, promotional licenses revert to standard license pricing at renewal, as only standard pricing is provided to the reseller for additional license purchases and renewals.
Your Minimum Commitment auto-renews annually during your 3-year term
In VIP Marketplace 3-year commit, your Minimum Commitment will auto-renew on your Anniversary Date each year during your 3-year commit term. This ensures that you are always in compliance. If you would like to change your product mix, contact your reseller at least thirty days before your Anniversary Date.
