    Reduce Adobe license quantity

    Reduce the number of licenses in your Adobe subscription.

    This tutorial describes how to reduce the quantity of your licenses by submitting a change order.

    Downsizing a subscription means reducing the number of licenses while keeping at least one license active. When you downsize a subscription, the result depends on whether the licenses are within the allowed 14-day return window.

    • If the licenses are within the return window, Adobe processes a return for the affected licenses, and those licenses immediately become unavailable to users.

    • If the licenses are outside the return window, the current licenses remain active until the renewal date, and only the renewal quantity is reduced.

    • You can only return quantities that match eligible returnable orders. If the quantity doesn't match, the Marketplace Platform suggests a valid quantity that you can return.

    For more information, see .

    Ensure that both the agreement and the subscription you want to downsize are currently active.

    1

    Open the subscription

    To open the subscription:

    1. Go to Marketplace > Subscriptions.

    2. Select the required subscription.

    Your change order is submitted to SoftwareOne for processing. The status of your subscription and the agreement changes from Active to Updating. While the order is being processed, you cannot make any further changes until it is complete.

    You can view the most up-to-date information about your order on its details page.

    Transfer your Adobe reseller

    Transfer your account to SoftwareOne.

    This tutorial explains how to transfer your account to SoftwareOne if you are currently buying Adobe product licenses through a non-SoftwareOne reseller.

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

    Once the transfer is complete, SoftwareOne becomes 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:

    • Your system administrator's email address.

    • Your reseller change code.

    All reseller transfers require a new agreement and a new purchase order in the Marketplace.

    To start the process:

    1. Sign in to the Marketplace Platform.

    2. Go to Catalog > Products.

    3. Select Adobe VIP Marketplace. Then, on the product details page, review the information, and select Buy now.

    4. In the guided purchase flow, complete the following steps:

    Once we process the order and change the reseller, we will notify you. You can check the status of your order on the order details page.
