# Transfer your Adobe reseller

Adobe allows its VIP Marketplace customers to switch from their current reseller to a new one. This process is called reseller transfer. 

If you are currently buying Adobe product licenses through a non-SoftwareOne reseller, you can transfer your account to SoftwareOne. 

When the transfer process completes, SoftwareOne will become your new reseller, managing your Adobe subscriptions and orders.

* Reseller transfers are allowed only for the Adobe VIP Marketplace. Licensing programs such as the Value Incentive Plan (VIP), Cumulative Licensing Program (CLP), Transactional Licensing Program (TLP), and Enterprise Term Licensing Agreement (ETLA) don't permit a change of reseller.
* The Marketplace Platform supports reseller transfers for all supported Adobe VIP Marketplace products, including Commercial, Education, and Government.

### Prerequisites

Before starting the reseller change process, make sure you have the following details from your Adobe Admin Console:

2. From the main menu, go to **Catalog** > **Product profiles**. Then, select the **Adobe VIP Marketplace** profile.
3. On the profile details page, review the information, then select **Buy now**.
4. Under **Select product**, choose the required product, then select **Select**. The Purchase Wizard starts.
5. In the Purchase Wizard, complete the following steps:
   1. Select **Create agreement**.&#x20;
