Additional licence for pdf form completion?

Question

Hi,
I apologise if this is the wrong place to ask my question - please redirect me if it is.
Years ago I used Adobe professional (I don't remember the version number) and I could create forms for others to complete, however if the other person did not have Professional the forms did not work.
I now work for a different organisation and would like to revisit this, but in my previous workplace there was a £10,000 licence that had to be purchased in order to allow the functionality for Reader users to be able to complete the forms. 
Am I correct in thinking that Adobe X Pro has this functionality built in and no further licencing is required?
Many thanks,
Su

What you're talking about is Reader-enabling your form, which allows Reader to do things it normally cannot, such as saving a filled-in form. Without this additional step, Reader can be used to interact with the fields, print, and submit form data, but cannot save.
If you Reader-enable a document with Acrobat and distribute it to more than 500 users, you can use data from no more than 500 forms that have been returned to you, including hard copies. If the users don't need to save, you don't need to Reader-enable the document. If you don't need the entire filled-in form returned to you, you can set up the form to submit just the form data to you, via web server or email.
If you do need to have the users send the complete filled-in document to you and you need to distribute the form to more than 500 users, you will need to license LiveCycle Reader Extensions. The exact cost depends on your intended usage.
