Adobe Open Options TLP 4.5
Adobe® Open Options 4.5 makes it easy for organizations of all sizes to get the benefits of volume ordering through TLP(Transactional License Program). This program is available worldwide and covers most Adobe desktop products. There are no membership requirements. For every eligible order of a new or upgrade Adobe software license, or of Upgrade Plan, you receive points. Your discount level is based on the total point value of your transaction. The more you order in a single transaction, the better your discount level.
To calculate your discount level and points, view the Discount Level Calculator for your market segment: Commercial, Education, or Government.
In addition, when you order products through TLP, Adobe provides you with an easy-to-use licensing website that simplifies software administration and record-keeping. This custom site provides a single location for up-to-date access to your Adobe software licensing information.
TLP is open to commercial, education, and government organizations.

Q. What are the benefits of TLP to small business and creative services consultants?
A. TLP brings the benefits of enterprise-class licensing to the smaller volume orders typical of consultants, independent designers, creative services, and marketing groups. It also provides the benefits of volume licensing to larger organizations whose orders don't meet CLP order thresholds.
Q. What do I receive when I participate in TLP?
A. A TLP license gives you access to Adobe's web-based software management tool, where you can find a custom TLP license certificate for each TLP order you place. The certificate lists the order date, the products you licensed, the corresponding serial numbers, and the total number of licenses available for installation.
Q. How are discount levels determined?
A. Discount levels are determined based on the number of points in the transaction. The number of points earned per software program or Upgrade Plan order is based on the value of each item licensed. (Note: TLP licenses are ordered through Adobe Direct and resellers. Reseller pricing may vary. Accordingly, Adobe cannot guarantee any particular savings or discounts to any organization buying TLP licenses.)
