Adobe is introducing the "Transactional Licensing Plan" where (any) price
discounts are solely based on the quantity in the individual transaction.

At the same time, Adobe cut resellers discount to 3 percent ( 3% ), so I
expect that you will find product available at "list price" OR HIGHER
once the new plan goes into effect.

Contact your current reseller, or any reseller (such as INFOCON) within
the next 40 days in order to take advantage of the current pricing plans.

Coupled with Adobe's web store and the pricing discounts offered there,
this certainly sends the message that Adobe does not regard the reseller
channel as a means of selling products nor servicing customers.  But then,
try to get support from Adobe once you've bought the product from them.
