ADOBE® OPEN OPTIONS 4.5 UPGRADE PLAN
Easily keep your organization current with Adobe software
No matter which Adobe Open Options 4.5 software licensing program you choose, Upgrade Plan makes it better. You are ensured of access to all Adobe upgrades for your covered products during the life of your Upgrade Plan — all at a single cost per licensed product. And during the first six months of your CLP membership, you may also order Upgrade Plan for previously acquired, current-version Adobe software licenses (as long as Adobe has not announced a new version), bringing all your installations into a unified technology management program. This helps ensure both budget and technology predictability.
Adobe automatically sends notifications of upgrades to Upgrade Plan participants. This means that you can manage upgrades uniformly across your organization, avoiding piecemeal implementation and technology inconsistency. Upgrade Plan is only available through the Adobe TLP and CLP volume licensing programs.
You can also lower your overall software costs with Upgrade Plan because it contributes to the points accumulated in TLP and CLP, increasing the discounts made available to you under these programs.
Upgrade Plan helps ensure that your employees have the latest technology to maximize their productivity. Yet it lets organizations manage their upgrade strategy and technology versions inexpensively, easily, and with low administrative overhead. This option is perfect for businesses, educational institutions, and government agencies that want to use up-to-date Adobe software, while reducing both unit and overhead costs.
