If the Network License Detection dialog box appears when you attempt to open a Macromedia application, you may have exceeded the number of licensed copies permitted for that serial number. This dialog box appears when Macromedia applications detect another user on a company network using the same serial number as the licensee. You must have a software license (with a unique serial number) for each copy of Macromedia software installed on every computer.

NOTE: This message may appear if you attempt to install a copy of a Macromedia Studio bundle on multiple computers. Macromedia Studio bundles are considered a single product and are licensed for installation on one computer.

To prevent license infringement:

Purchase a licensed copy of Macromedia software for each computer. For more information, visit an authorized Macromedia reseller or visit our online store.
Work with your IT department to locate the individuals who are using the same serial number on your network. Provide the user name and IP address that appears in the Network License Detection dialog box.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If you believe you received this dialog box in error, use the Support Center menu on the Support page to locate your product, then search for articles related to Network License Detection. Support Centers provides the latest information about our software. If you need to contact Macromedia Customer Service, have a copy of your product invoice or receipt ready. For more information on licensing, refer to the End User License Agreement. Locate it under the filename "License.htm," in the directory included in your Macromedia software.
