Macromedia now allows concurrent usage by this registration process to eligible customers, as set forth below.
There is currently no charge associated with these rights. However, we reserve the right to re-evaluate the fee structure at any time.
What are concurrent usage rights?
Concurrent usage rights allow eligible customers to distribute Macromedia software to end users through a shared-file server that employs license-metering software. This license-metering software will not allow the number of licenses in use at one time to exceed the authorized usage. Authorized usage is defined as the number of licenses purchased and registered for a software title.
Concurrent usage rights are only allowed on the Macromedia Tools Products set forth on the registration page. These rights are not applicable to server products. Concurrent usage must be registered per product per platform. Macromedia does not provide product support for concurrent use. Macromedia does not perform performance testing for concurrent use.

Concurrent Usage Terms and Conditions
Macromedia will grant to Licensee the following limited concurrent use rights on products registered via the concurrent usage registration form:
