### Prerequisites

Before starting this tutorial, make sure you have the following:

* An [active licensee](/modules-and-features/settings/licensees/licensee-states.md) or permission to [create a new licensee](/modules-and-features/settings/licensees/create-licensees.md). Licensee selection is required when setting up a new agreement.
* Your company's legal address and primary admin contact.
* If choosing a 3-year commitment, the minimum quantities you want to commit to: at least 10 licenses or 1000 consumables.

**Create a new agreement and choose items**

   1. Enter the **Company name** and check the **Company address** and **Primary Adobe administrator**. The address is pre-filled from your buyer details, and the administrator is pre-filled with your details. The primary administrator becomes the contract owner of the Adobe account and receives Adobe's activation email.
   2. Choose whether to join the [3-year commitment](https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/enterprise/vip/vip-subscription-term-options-marketplace.html).
   3. If you join, enter the **Minimum committed licenses**, the **Minimum committed consumables**, or both. Enter at least one: 10 or more licenses, or 1000 or more consumables.

   For Large Government Agencies, you also enter the **Agency type**, **Government agency name**, and **Government agency address**.
5. **Select items** – Do the following:
   1. Select the items you want to buy. You can select multiple items.
   2. Select **Add items**.
   3. Review and adjust the quantity of each item.
   4. Select **Next**.
      {% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Review and submit your purchase order**

1. **Details** – Provide reference details for the order, then select **Next**.
2. **Review order** – Review the order details, go through the terms and conditions, then select **Place order**.
3. **Summary** – Review your order summary, then select **View details** to open the order details page, or select **Close**.
   {% endstep %}
   {% endstepper %}

### Next steps

After placing the order, you'll receive an invitation from Adobe to accept the terms and conditions for Adobe VIP Marketplace.

After accepting the terms, you can manage your licenses and deploy them to users immediately through the [Adobe Admin Console](https://adminconsole.adobe.com/).

If you chose a 3-year commitment, the order pauses in **Querying** status until you accept the 3-year commitment invitation. Accept it, then select **Process** on the order. For more details, see [How do I accept my 3-year commitment invitation?](/extensions/adobe-vip-marketplace/faqs/how-do-i-accept-my-3-year-commitment-invitation.md) and [Why is my Adobe order in Querying status?](/extensions/adobe-vip-marketplace/faqs/why-is-my-adobe-order-in-querying-status.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.platform.softwareone.com/extensions/adobe-vip-marketplace/set-up-your-account/set-up-a-new-adobe-agreement.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
