The Transactional Licensing Program (TLP) is a transaction-based program that is ideally suited to organizations that want to make easy, one-time purchases.
Benefits include a generous discount schedule, online tracking of all transactions, a single serial number per product, and a single license certificate per transaction containing all serial numbers, units, platforms, and product licenses.

Overview
The simplified structure of TLP makes it very easy to start purchasing under the scheme. Each product is assigned a points value, these vary dependant on the item being supplied. For example, a new Acrobat Standard license has a points value of 300, but a new Acrobat Professional license has a point value of 450. The number of points, when aggregated, must reach the minimum requirements to qualify.
