Term of your choice with high flexibility: annual or extended
You choose the length of the license term—1 year or longer.
VIP for all: from small work groups to entire enterprises
See how VIP can suit all your organization regardless of its size or varying requirements.
VIP for enterprise-wide needs
It’s a given that large organizations have rapidly expanding and evolving needs. VIP is designed to meet those changing needs. Membership is ongoing, managing users and licenses is easy with the Admin Console, and, as purchases increase, VIP volume discounts offer even greater savings.
VIP for IT teams
VIP is full of features that make IT’s life easier. Whether assigning licenses to 3 or 300 employees, deployment is a snap with the Admin Console, and it’s easy to assign or revoke licenses at any time. And advanced 24/7 tech support ensures deployments keep running.
VIP for government needs
Whether a department or agency needs a few licenses or hundreds, VIP has an option to fit a limited budget, align with that budget’s cycles, and meet stringent security standards. With a centralized license management tool, you can easily and securely administer licenses and monitor storage.
VIP for procurement specialists
Scale with ease. There’s lower upfront spending, and you get exclusive feature updates at no additional cost. It’s easy to adapt as the team grows, and volume purchases lead to more savings. You can choose your Anniversary Date, which means purchases prorate to the same date—and you avoid surprises.
VIP for educational institutions
With VIP for education, you can purchase shared device licenses2 to use on institutionally owned machines (such as computer labs) and you can purchase named-user licenses for educators and students to use wherever they are (work-at-home) and on any device they use including non-institution-owned devices.
2 Device-based licenses are not available for purchase in the People’s Republic of China (PRC).

Examples of different needs and VIP solutions
Discount on all purchases with VIP Select
Need: An organization has evolving, expanding software needs and would like added discounts.
VIP Solution: With VIP Select, the organization can purchase 10 licenses or more at one time and get a set discount level on all subsequent purchases in a term. And the organization can qualify for even higher discount levels with purchases of 50 or 100 licenses.
Budget predictability with VIP
Need: An organization is on a tight but guaranteed budget, with funding coming at the same time each year.
VIP Solution: The organization chooses its annual payment date to align with its predictable influx of technology funding.
Extended paid-upfront subscription option
Need: A customer wants to pay upfront for over 12 months.
VIP Solution: An organization can pay for all licenses upfront for up to 3 years with an extended paid upfront subscription. (Up to 4 years for Education Entity).
3-year Commit subscription option
Need: An organization seeks budget predictability and wants to pay annually. However, it's unsure how many licenses it will need over the next few years.
VIP Solution: In addition to the discount level—on all purchases—with VIP 3-year commit, the organization can pay annually with a set price3 on the license quantity defined at the beginning of the 3-year commit agreement. The organization can add additional licenses at the same price for up to three years. Also, customers get deeper discounts by signing up for 3-year commit vs. signing up for 1 year. See 3-year Commit details in the VIP Select section.
Linked Membership
Need: A consortium or affiliated organizations have vastly different software needs but would like to benefit as much as possible from volume discounts.
VIP Solution: Linked Membership allows for purchasing and managing licenses separately by the affiliates while ensuring that all qualified affiliates receive the combined high-volume reward of those aggregated purchases. Reaching 10 licenses qualifies for volume discounts.
Note:
3 Specific pricing is always between the Account Manager and the VIP Member. If you purchase through a reseller, then your Account Manager is your reseller. 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.
4 The 3-year commit option is not available for customers with extended paid up-front subscriptions.
