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 two program options, each with unique discount level structures. In addition, each program offers special pricing for government and education customers.

Not only can EA help you more easily deploy and manage the latest Adobe software across your organization, but it also offers predictable pricing on software costs while reducing administrative management and IT workloads.

- Lower total cost of ownership with a standardized desktop image
- Reduced maintenance stemming from compliance, compatibility, and control issues
