Commercial Use

If I service home and business machines in my computer repair business, can I download and install the free versions of: Adobe Air, Reader, Shockwave Player, & Flash Player for my home and business users.
Is: Adobe Air, Reader, Shockwave Player, & Flash Player free for commercial use?

If you keep your own installers (e.g. offline installers) to install on your customers machines, you may need to apply for a distribution agreement with Adobe (free).

My microsoft office programs (Home and Business 2013) all desplay error message at startup stating " non-commercial use, not licenced product". How do I fix this?

Hi,
Whenever I start any of my microsoft programs I get an error message stating "non-commercial use, not licenced product" and I cannot do anything in the programs. I havve the Home and Business 2013 version.
My husband bought the office programs for his and my computer and so they are both registered to his name however my email is the login, I dont know if this is relevant.
How do I fix this?

Hi,
Based on your description, several possibilities come to my mind.
1. You mentioned your husband bought the Office Suite for you, did he purchase one product key or two? We need to confirm if the product key can be installed on multiple machines, if a product key can be only installed once and he installed it
on his computer first, you should purchase a new product key to activate your Office.
Since the policy differs in different areas, to confirm how many machines the product key can be installed on, let your husband ask the retailer or contact the local customer service to get the answer:

2. Please confirm your Office version. Based on the message "non-commercial use", I found this kb:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/937676/
But it's for Office Home and Student instead of Office Home and Business, we can perform the steps below to find the Microsoft Software License Terms:
1. Start and Office program.
2. On the File (Backstage) tab, click Account.
3. Click About (Product name: Word, Excel etc..), in the window that opens, click
View the Microsift Software License Terms link.
3. If your Office is a trial version or the product key is not for the version that you are using, consider to uninstall it first, and install the appropriate version. You can probably get the installation media from your husband.

It's recommended to download and install

How can I tell if a font is legal or for commercial use?

I am working in Illustrator and I need to create posters with commercial use fonts.
How do I know for sure that the font I am using is legal? Can Illustrator tell me?
I have experimented with a font I know is commercial and one that I know is not and
while packaging the project Illustrator gave me the same generic message for both.
This is the only message that is gives me.
I work on a Macbook Pro, a colleague of mine works on a PC, when he packages his projects
it will tell him if the font is legal or not.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

The option to package a font file is there to make sure that the one who receives the file will use the same version of the font as you did when you created the file.
The receiver must have his own license of the font, that could be an older version that misses some characters (like the €) and packaging the font file allows him to use your version.
Saving your file as a PDF is a better option if the receiver does not need to edit the file. The original font is not needed since the characters you have used are embedded in the pdf.
All fonts from the Adobe type library may be embedded in a PDF.
But this has nothing to do with the question if you can use a font for a commercial poster.
Of course you can, if you bought the font license, you can use it in your design, but Illustrator cannot tell you if you bought the font.
In the rare occasion that you are having trouble with embedding the font in a PDF, create outlines.

Commercial use of Acrobat 9 Pro included in Creative Suite 4 Design Premium Student Edition

Hey!
So I have bought CS4 Design Premium Student Edition a few years back and I'm still a student by the way.
As far as I already know, prior to CS5 Student Editions were eligible for commercial use only in North America, but - does Acrobat 9 Pro still count as an integral part of Creative Suite? It can be bought separately as well.
The thing is - I wanted to convert a few PDF documents to fully featured forms for someone and sell them, because I own a licence of Acrobat Pro. Can I do that? Or does commercial use only refers to my own business and I can't sell the outcome of my work to someone else? How exactly does this work? I'm outside of US and I don't even know if I can count Acrobat 9 Pro as eligible to perform commercial work.
Thanks in advance!

Is commercial use possible?

Hello Team,
is the commercial use of developments possible or am I only allowed to test and develop in the CAL? I know that with the free trials it is not possible.
And I have another question: does every user in our company need an account or is it possible to create a "company" user for alle employees?
Thanks for your help!
Jörg

Hi Jörg,
yes, commercial use is definitely possible. For that you (or your company) would need to purchase the SAP Cloud Appliance Library subscription which will unlock all currently available 29 solutions of the subscription package. For the majority of the Trials for which commercial use is not allowed there are matching solutions in the subscription package. Please remember that the CAL subscription does not provide any product licenses - you need to own the SAP licenses upfront.
In regards to the user question, I not really understand the question so if this answer is not what you were looking for, let me know. So if you like, you can create a new SCN user which you then add as an additional user to your CAL tenant. If you provide the logon credentials of that user to all our employees they can all access CAL too. However, they will all have the possibility to manage the same instances - which could create confusion. Our suggestion is, that each of your employees has their own SAP ID User (can be S-User or P-User) and all of those are added to the CAL tenant of the S-User who purchased CAL and who is the master admin of the CAL tenant.
Here is a document that will explain the model is a broader perspective:

HP Laserjet1012 only prints Not For Commercial Use

Have HP Laserjet 1012 installed on Dell Latitute E6410 running Windows 7. Found a You Tube video for setup. Using port DOT4_001, and HP Laserjet0355 PCL5(Microsoft) driver.
Problem: whentyou print test page, the printout has a black background and Not For Commercial Use printed on a diagonal in white.
If you open a document to print, it spools to this printer but the message is this Not for Cummercial Use.
Any ideas???

Perhaps the application you are using (Word?) is generating the watermark; or perhaps a watermark setting in the printer driver settings?

Why does the terms for logic say we cant run these programs for commercial use

question i have regarding the terms for garage band and logic terms where is says just under section 2 it says ((i) to download, install, use and run for personal, non-commercial use, one (1) copy of the Apple
Software directly on each Apple-branded computer running OS X (“Mac Computer”) that you
own or control; and)
im not sure if it means i cant use garage band or logic to produce music for clients for commercial use ?
check it out here
http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/LogicPro.pdf
http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/GarageBand.pdf

Section C/2/A/(ii) of the Logic Pro document says:
if you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, to download, install, use and run
one (1) copy of the Apple Software for use either: (a) by a single individual on each of the Mac Computer(s) that you own or control, or (b) by multiple individuals on a single shared Mac Computer that you own or control.
and section C/2/B says:
The Apple Software may contain sample content including but not limited to artwork, audio files, audio loops, built-in sound files, graphics, images, impulse responses, photographs, samples, sound sets, sound settings, video files, or similar assets (“Sample Content”). This Sample Content is proprietary to Apple and/or its licensors, and is protected by applicable intellectual property and other laws, including but not limited to copyright. Except as otherwise provided, all Sample Content included in the Apple Software may be used on a royalty-free basis to create your own original soundtracks for your film, video and audio projects. You may broadcast and/or distribute your own soundtracks that were created using the Sample Content, however, individual Sample Content assets may not be commercially or otherwise distributed on a standalone basis, nor may they be repackaged in whole or in part as audio samples, clipart, music beds, sound effects, sound files, sound libraries, stock animation, or similar assets.
(my emphasis).
All this would seem to cover you for the use you propose (this is not a legal opinion). GarageBand is presumably similar.

Cirrus - what IS commercial use?

So, we all undersrtand that Cirrus is (at present) available for non-commercial use only. But...what exactly constitutes "non-comercial" use?
I would love to make a videogame that uses Cirrus's p2p technology. Obviously, I would not be allowed to charge for the game's sale, but would I be allowed to:
1.) make the game publically accessbile through a website
2.) assuming "1", place advertisements on the website
3.) gernate indirect revenue through the game (via in-game transactions), as long as they are in no way intricated with the game's Cirrus p2p aspects
4.) distribute the game FOR FREE through an app market (like the Apple store, Android Market, or Google Chrome Store)
I've spent a fair amount of time searching for answers to these questions on the Cirrus Forums, but came up with only obscure answers. It would be fantastic if someone (possibly an Adobe rep) could could help shine a light on this topic.
Thanks

Bro i am pretty much in the same situation as you http://forums.adobe.com/message/4191600 . i know i cannot charge users for using the video chat service in the site i plan on creating with cirrus BUT how about advert placement on the website . someone from ADOBE please answer. Thanks

Are iMovie 10's songs and trailers made using their template available for commercial use?

I am wondering if these are allowed for commercial use. If I have a trailer that was made with iMovie 10's trailer template and contains a song from the iMovie 10 program, can I use this commercially?

I know I've heard some of those Jingles on promos companies play on PBS. I can't tell you the name of the one that comes up. Another time I've heard one on a pharmaceutical advert. But I cannot answer the legal question if you can use the canned jingles for commercial purposes. I don't know if the Apple End User License Agreement for iMovie covers commercial uses of the jingles.

Can I use the songs that come with adobe Premiere Elements for commercial use/film?

Can I use the default songs that come with adobe Premiere Elements for commercial use; such as in a film?

C. Raio
We are not Adobe here. Rather user to user.
In the threads that I have read here the following is the user to user reply on this matter that is seen regarding project assets....Music Scores in this case....
The Music Score soundtracks are from the Adobe Premiere Elements (12 or 13) Music Score selections within the program.
And, they can be used in the users choice of export. As for "authorship", I guess you would point to Adobe, Premiere Elements version, Music Score.
Would the evaluators settle for the above information?

Master Collection Student and Teacher Licensing Commercial Use?

Hello,
I purchased the CS5 Master Collection from my college under this program.
I know it's a perpetual license and that I can upgrade to a commercial version of CS6.
I live in North America and purchased CS5 in North America as well, so I think it's permitted to use this for commercial work. Does anyone know for certain?
EDIT: After a lot of reading through the forums and contacting Adobe helpdesk, it appears that I can use the CS5 Student and Teacher Licensing for commercial work now that I've graduated.
Here's what the packaging looks like. There isn't a warning about non commercial use, so I'm going to go ahead and do some freelance work:
Thank you, Adobe!

Spry 1.6 for commercial use

Hi, Can I use the Spry 1.6 prerelease for commercial use?
Spry seems like
The BSD
license.
However,
the adobe labs
license claims
quote:
IF THE SOFTWARE IS A PRE-RELEASE VERSION, then,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary included within a license
agreement accompanying the software, you are not permitted to use
or otherwise rely on the software for any commercial or production
purpose.
Does that means you cannot use Spry 1.6 for commercial use?
If so, can I get the non-prerelease older version (1.5 etc) from
somewhere?

Hi,
That is a little confusing.
We have been distributing Spry under the BSD license, meaning
to allow users to use the files as they please, commercial or
otherwise.
This is how it has been since the first version.
I can look into the disparity between these licenses but i
think you can feel assured that it is ok to use Spry for commercial
apps. Many people do so already.
The Spry team thinks of 'pre-release' as: "There is a small
chance that we might change functionality, due to bugs or better
implementation" but we are pretty stable now and the core ideas of
Spry are pretty solid.
Hope this helps,

Premiere Elements for commercial use

Can I use Premiere Elements 12 for commercial use , like videos I make for training modules that I sell?
I looked in the EULA and buried in section 16.14 and 16.15 is reference to non-commercial use due to encoder patents. But nowhere is a straight forward yes or no for commercial use.
Thanks for anyone that knows about this

You are most welcome.
Going way back, Adobe once had a restriction on material produced with the academic versions (like Student & Teacher editions) of some of its programs. I do not recall the exact timing, but would say that they relaxed that restriction about 10 years ago.
Also, as Neale points out, the PrE Projects are not X-platform, but if one considers the Mac and the PC, they can output files (from the PrE Project) that ARE X-platform, for delivery. I am not exactly sure how you are referring to X-platform, but if the intent is to edit a Project between a Mac and a PC, then Neale's caveat will be very important. Though the Project file (PREL) looks the same (basically an XML database file), they are significantly different, that a PREL from a Mac, will not Open on a PC. For delivery of a finished AV file (your instructional video, in this case), if one selects say AVCHD (H.264 CODEC) for the output, that file will be viewable on both a Mac and a PC, so long as each computer has a viable version of the H.264 CODEC installed, and most will, or the user can add it. It's the same with most MOV files - so long as the PC has Apple's QuickTime Player installed. When you get to the point of delivery, do not hesitate to stop back, if you need a bit more input from the forum. Some of us have both a Mac and a PC (Steve Grisetti, for instance), but many more are tasked with X-platform delivery quite often.
Good luck, and happy editing,
Hunt
