VIP Members can save even more when they qualify for VIP Select by purchasing 10 licenses or more** during a subscription term. And they can save on top of that by purchasing 50 or 100 licenses or more.

Look-back as the way to qualify for VIP Select

Qualify for VIP Select with a single purchase

VIP Members with fewer than 10 licenses automatically qualify for VIP Select with a single order of 10 or more licenses. Simply place an order for the minimum license quantity, and your membership will automatically upgrade to VIP Select and the corresponding benefits.

Qualify for VIP Select at renewal

If you’re looking to order 10 or more licenses over the course of the subscription term, you can qualify for VIP Select with an automated look-back. 31 days before your Anniversary Date, Adobe tallies the total number of licenses purchased during your current subscription term. If this total is more than 10 licenses, subsequent orders of any size qualify for the initial VIP Select discount. Then, of course, the 50- and 100-license thresholds can bring even greater discounts.

Note:

**Applies to qualifying subscription licenses only. Purchasing Consumables, Adobe Acrobat Sign Solutions Subscription for Government, or Adobe Express for Education does not count towards obtaining VIP Select levels or meeting a Member’s 3-year commit license Minimum Number of License commitment.

VIP Select Members qualify for 3-year commit

After qualifying for VIP Select, your organization or educational institution has the option to receive set pricing for up to three years when you commit to 10+ licenses:

Allows extended budgeting and multi-year savings—on all purchases

VIP Select with 3-year commit allows budgeting for extended years (up to 3 years for education) at a set price* on a defined license quantity. You qualify for discounting on all VIP purchases during the term (up to 3 years, through 2 renewals). And you can add incremental licenses or Sign transactions—while only requiring the committed quantity to be maintained.

Additional discounts with 3-year commit (For Commercial and Government customers):

Extra discount comparison

For Commercial and Government customers: Committing to 3 years comes with an even bigger discount than the 1-year subscriptions. When VIP Select Members accept the 3-year commit, their license tier is transitioned to one with additional discounts.

To learn about specific discounts for each Adobe product, contact your Account Manager, who can show how you can save through higher license quantities and, more significantly, though 3-year commit.

Note:

Purchasing Consumables or Adobe Acrobat Sign Solutions Subscription for Government does not count towards obtaining VIP Select levels or meeting a Member’s 3-year commit license Minimum Number of Licenses commitment. However, Acrobat Sign transactions can be added to a membership with an existing 3-year commit and benefit from a set price schedule.

Steps to getting started with the 3-year commit

  1. Enroll in VIP

    Contact an Account Manager—an Adobe representative or an Adobe Reseller. You can enroll and place your first order at the same time.

  2. Qualify for VIP Select

    You automatically qualify for VIP Select once you purchase at least 10 licenses—either in a single order or via automated look-back, which determines if you purchased 10 or more licenses during your term.

  3. Accept 3-year commit

    After qualifying for VIP Select, you will receive a VIP Select welcome email with an offer for your organization or institution to accept 3-year commit.

  4. Add licenses with set pricing* at any time

    Purchase new licenses Sign transactions with the 3-year commit pricing you accepted earlier even if you haven’t yet purchased that particular product.

Examples of 3-year commit agreements

When you accept 3-year commit, you agree to maintain a set number of licenses—at the discounted pricing. You will renew (annually) twice during the 3-year term at the set license quantity. Here are two examples:

Example A: A school district or company qualifies for VIP Select with 120 licenses. They immediately accept 3-year commit, agreeing to maintain a minimum of 120 licenses through the committed term. There is no obligation to maintain incremental licenses added after accepting the agreement.

Example B: A university or government department qualifies for VIP Select with 100 licenses. They later add 20 licenses and then accept 3-year commit, agreeing to maintain a minimum of 120 licenses through the committed term.

Product availability during a 3-year commit subscription term

Adobe is always innovating, and may release new products that are available for purchase through VIP at any time. If, after you’ve joined 3-year commit, a new product is released and becomes available for purchase through VIP, 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 will no longer be able to purchase the product after its last sales date.

Note:

* Specific pricing is always set between the VIP Select Member and the Adobe representative or Adobe Reseller.
