Goober...I just got off the phone with Adobe, licensing.
The situation: 5 users. Each with a current single user license using
a current version (5.x). Each of them has a licensed single user
version loaded on their local machine. One of the machines is
watching a network folder and PDFnig the output of those 5 users and
sending to a common folder.
Adobe's response: Since everyone of the 5 would have their own
license, Adobe does NOT have a problem with one of them watching the
network folder and PDFing the output of the 5 users. Even gave me a
case number (515228*)
Before you accuse someone of trying to break their licensing
agreement, you should do the research before basing it on speculation
and personal interpretation.

It doesn't matter how YOU see it, or a group sees it, or the whole
list sees it. It only matters how Adobe sees it and they see it just
fine.

Without research, those opinions are just that.
