Adobe Reader Question Licence

Hello :-),

I have created a data warehouse for my final thesis and have had reports generated automatically with a few other means. The work itself is practically complete, but I am unsure if I have considered the legal side correctly.
I use Adobe Reader on a terminal solution and on the database server to display the reports. However, now I am unsure if I am allowed to do this based on the user agreement:
"2.3 Server User: This agreement does not permit you install or Use the Software on a server."
At the moment the project is not in productive use. However, this should be used productively soon.
How do you see this? Do I have to license Adobe Reader in this constellation or can I use it like this?

Best greetings,

Maike

When you say "used productively" do you mean you will be making this available to other people? Each person must install their own personal copy of Acrobat Reader on their own computer. Unless you have an enterprise deployment license. With such a license, if you get it, you can install it for people in your company. You CANNOT put it on a server and release it for general use outside your company.
