Question regarding licenses

Hello, since I am unable to receive any information on this topic from any Adobe specialist, I have to post the following question in the forum (this is what I was told to do by a chat machine):

We have acquired two Robohelp HTML 8 licenses to create an online help/online manual and to deploy this help file in our software product. Are we allowed to offer help files created via API and all other files related to Robohelp (e.g. dll files) to our software users/customers without further licensing? We would like to create a glossary and context-sensitive help.

Looking forward to helpful information!!

MN

You can distribute any of the generated help files found in your project's \!SSL!\ folder. You can't (& don't need to) distribute any of the RH program files except those provided by RH in the \CSH API\ and \Redist\ folders.

Seriously? Adobe could not answer this? Who were you speaking to?

Any output you create from RoboHelp can be distributed freely. The only sort of exception would be if you embedded some copyright music or some similar scenario.
