Adobe Volume Licensing
ADOBE VOLUME LICENSING BASICS
Every time you make an Adobe Volume Licensing purchase, you earn points (one point is equivalent to approximately one U.S. dollar). This point system enables Adobe to use a common terminology worldwide, regardless of currency. The number of points you’ve earned determines the discount level for which you will qualify in your AVL program.
Adobe offers four program options, each with unique discount level structures. AVL Comparison Guide
Each program offers special pricing for government and education customers.
