EA 2 benefits at a glance
Software standardization made simple EA 2 makes it easy to standardize and manage Adobe licenses across your entire organization. By making an initial volume purchase of 100 Acrobat or Creative Suite licenses plus Maintenance and Support up front, you can ensure that everyone in your organization is using the same version of Adobe software, thereby reducing IT costs associated with supporting different versions of the same Adobe applications. EA 2 will enable you to deploy additional licenses as you need them throughout the three-year term and settle those license costs on each anniversary of your EA 2 enrollment with annual true-ups. Additional EA 2 licenses get the same EA 2 discount tier as your initial order, no matter how many extra licenses you deploy. Substantial savings EA 2 offers your organization the most substantial savings on Adobe software licenses of any Adobe Volume Licensing (AVL) program. Get significant savings based on your initial volume purchase and achieve predictable pricing for three years. You can save even more by covering 100% of the computers in your organization with software from the Acrobat family. EA purchases can also be applied toward your Cumulative Licensing Program (CLP) membership accumulated point total for even greater savings, provided you are a CLP member prior to your enrollment in the EA 2 program. And because all EA 2 licenses require Maintenance and Support, your organization will save on upgrade and product support costs throughout the three-year term. Simplified software management and compliance In addition to better pricing, EA customers can maintain control over their software environments and simplify compliance by easily tracking and managing their Adobe software licenses through the Adobe Licensing Web Site (LWS). With the LWS, you can run reports, track your order history, access serial numbers, review license statements, and download software via one online resource. Annual true-ups enable you to add licenses whenever you need them and avoid the administrative hassles of purchase orders and paperwork. And direct Adobe support means less IT overhead for resolving technical issues and getting new users up to speed.
YOU MIGHT ALSO CONSIDER
You might want to consider Adobe's Cumulative Licensing Program. CLP is a two-year membership program that offers significant savings on Adobe volume licenses. Nearly all of Adobe's desktop products are available for volume purchase through Adobe's CLP. CLP membership is not required for EA customers, but it is recommended to take full advantage of the discount opportunities both programs offer.
EA 2 discount levels
About Your current CLP level will determine the EA 2 discount level, and the size of your initial Maintenance and Support order sets your discount tier for your entire three-year term. If there is no CLP membership in place at the time of your EA 2 enrollment, your EA 2 discount level will be set at Level 1, and the initial Maintenance and Support order will establish your discount tier. You can achieve a deeper level of discount if your organization standardizes on software from the Acrobat family across 100% of the computers in your organization. In addition, if you are an existing CLP member, you can leverage your current CLP discount level for your initial EA purchase, and new and existing CLP members will earn CLP points for EA purchases. (If you are not yet a CLP member, become one before you enroll in EA 2 for maximum benefits.) See the EA 2 discount levels tables below for commercial and government customers.
