Merges apply to all license orders and all contacts under the merging IDs. Merges of customer LWS are available only for CLP, TLP, and FLP programs. FLP IDs can only be merged with approval from Adobe’s legal team.

Adobe allows CLP and TLP program members to order a current-version license but use a prior version as long as the customer already owns a license of the prior version. Qualifying members can contact Adobe Customer Service to request access to a previous version of perpetual licenses via ESD (if available) up to one version back. The program member must follow all guidelines of the current-version EULA.
Members with cloud-based subscription products have access to previous versions through the Creative Cloud Packager.
Licenses sold in a specific language grant use rights limited to that language. Program members do not have the right to deploy a product in a language other than the language that was licensed. Licenses sold with the designation of All as their language do allow program members to deploy the product in any language they choose. Exceptions to these conditions may apply when program members have active Upgrade Plan coverage and the new version of their product is not available in the originally licensed language or a new local language is made available. In these instances, Adobe communicates which cross-language rights apply.

Program members can choose to use either platform, as long as the total number of licenses being used does not exceed the number purchased.
