License for server

[Guest]

Hi,

i would like to know if i can install Adobe Reader for viewing .pdf document on the server of my company with S.O. Windows Server 2012 Standard.

Users will connect remotely also and work with the server but we no need to distribute the software to other pc from the server.

We can use a free license on the server or have to buy a special one?

Thanks

Hi stefanom13893560,

Adobe Reader is free of cost application and yes you can install it on a Server. Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution

Click here for details Volume distribution | Adobe Acrobat Reader DC while submitting the request you may use official email id not the private with Gmail or yahoo domain.

Hi Tariq,

   Thank you for confirming that  Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution can be installed on a server for free.

   Since Volume distribution | Adobe Acrobat Reader DC is a requirement when distributing Adobe Acrobat Reader DC software, please advise if a license is required where the only use for Adobe Acrobat Reader DC software is to view PDF on the server.

Many Thanks,

Fiona.

Hi Tariq,

    My understanding from your reply would be that even though Adobe Acrobat Reader DC software will be only be used to view PDFs on the server and not used for distribution purposes, a distribution license is still required.

Please confirm my understanding above.

Many thanks,

  Fiona.
