License question

My organization uses Adobe Pro. If we have two discreet environments, can we extend a current license for a user's instance of Adobe Pro to the virtual environment?

The licensing for Acrobat in a virtualized environment is documented here and is clear.  The needs to be a license for every user who will access the server.

VIRTUALIZED DEPLOYMENTS — Enterprise Administration Guide

"Adobe requires that organizations have a valid Acrobat software license for every user that has access to Acrobat on a server. Note the 10.x licenses can only be used for 10.x products, 11.x licenses can only be used for 11.x products, and so on. For more information, see  http://www.adobe.com/legal/licenses-terms.html."

My question really was is the license by user not by application instance, so if they have a virtual instance of Adobe and a version on a PC, then we are ok.

Thanks,

I believe the license needs to be available to the server and each user that will access it.
