Hi

Our company have a fontfolio 11.1 CD that multi-platform for 5 people.

When I insert the CD, there are only font files.

Can I install these font files by inserting the CD into 5 different PC?

Also, fonfolio's product registration is possible with only one account.

Can I register on my account and install font files on different PC?

 

Finally, I'm also curious about the fontfolio's license.

Can I use fontfolio fonts in the banner image of the shopping mall?

    "Web use" means live text on pages - fonts can be downloaded from font servers to appear on the web page. It isn't connected to making a graphic (JPEG PNG etc.) with the font; once it is made it can be used anywhere, including on a web page; the font is not included. PDF is a little more complicated but Adobe fonts allow PDF too.

    You install fonts in the usual way - but you must be selective. Installing all of them would bring disaster.

    See Adobe Fonts and Fontfolio licensing below.

    https://helpx.adobe.com/fonts/using/font-licensing.html

     

    Font Folio has Adobe's traditional, perpetual end-user licensing agreement for desktop publishing. The fonts in Font Folio are not licensed for web use. Font licensing for Adobe Fonts includes web and desktop use for everything in the font library, as long as you have an active Creative Cloud subscription. Font Folio supports server use, while Adobe Fonts does not.

    Thank you for answer.

     

    Fontfolio are not licensed for web use, 

    does it mean it is impossible to post images using fontfolio fonts on website?

     

    thank you.

    If what you mean is rasterize the text created using FontFolio fonts and displaying that imagery on a web page, you are “good to go.”
