Configuring 3-year Commit Discount

Adobe allows for a discount if a user commits for 3 years to have a certain product quantity in their subscription, meaning, that the quantity cannot be reduced below the committed number. Subscriptions with such a commitment cannot be canceled without prior agreement with the vendor, and they are forcibly renewed until the commitment expires. For such subscriptions, auto-renewal option can only be disabled during the last billing period of the agreement.

When a user purchases a subscription with a 3-year commitment, the price on the date of commitment becomes fixed for the commitment period for both upsizing and renewals.

To enable 3-year commitment for a service plan, the following is required:

  1. Co-terming option for the service plan must be set to Fixed Date Provided by Vendor.

  2. Configure an additional set of price levels for the plan. The pricing model must be Multi-resource volume pricing at order and subscription levels.

    Prices to be applied in case a user commits to a certain quantity for 3 years must be marked with the 3YC rating attribute and have a price level hint specified. Depending on the product type, the number of levels and price hints must be different.

    Below are examples of price configuration for Adobe licenses and consumable products.
