Question

License policy for Adobe Audition 1.0

Dear All,

I would like to get in touch with someone knowledgeable on license policies for obsolete versions of Adobe Audition.

I'm fond of bioacoustics, and in recent years I've been publishing a few scientific papers with spectrograms and frequency analyses based on Adobe Audition 1.0 (a regular license that I obtained by upgrading from Cool Edit Pro).

Now I have a one-day bioacoustics workshop to organize, and I've been asked to install on the Windows PC's of the participants the same tool (Adobe Audition 1.0) that I'm using.

I don't understand whether I may release to other users my license key on those PC's with impunity.

Does Adobe actively pursue that kind of violation related with such an old release of Adobe Audition?

In other words:  may I duplicate my installation on other similar PC's (Windows 7)  without risking a legal action by Adobe?

After all, several websites offer cracked keys of more recent versions of the same software - but I would prefer sort of an authorization. What I would actually need is a free non-commercial limited license for didactical purposes, but I don't expect it to be available.

Many thanks for your attention, please excuse my English.

Unfortunately that is not really a question that we can answer here as we are just a User to User forum. Any questions regarding licensing would have to go via Adobe Customer Services I would think.

Thanks ryclark,

I chatted with Customer Support -  the operator was unable to answer, and could not provide an e-mail address of any competent department. I think that my curiosity will be unanswered. I'll decide wether or not take a risk with my "classroom".
