Launching Flash on a network

If you encounter a license infringement warning message when launching Flash, you may have exceeded the number of licensed copies for that serial number.

Flash detects unauthorized copies of itself (under the same serial number) on a local area network. By enumerating currently running copies of Flash through network communication, Flash detects if the number of copies currently running exceeds a license count for the serial number.

To prevent license infringement warnings, do one of the following:

| Purchase additional licensed copies of Flash from Macromedia.
| Uninstall Flash from one or more computers on your local area network, then launch Flash again on your computer.
