1.   Adobe Connect Meetings   

• Under the per-Named Host License Metric, Customer may create an unlimited number of Meeting rooms with up to the number of seats purchased for Meeting Attendees; however, each Named Host can use only one Meeting room at any one time, and Meeting rooms may not be accessed by Meeting Attendees unless a Named Host is present.  A Named Host license cannot be shared between more than one individual.  A Named Host license may be reassigned from one individual to another only if the employment or independent contractor relationship of a licensed individual terminates, otherwise written permission from Adobe is required.
• Under the per-Concurrent User License Metric, Customer may create an unlimited number of Meeting rooms and run several active Meetings simultaneously, but the number of Meeting Attendees across all of those active Meetings may not exceed the number of Concurrent Users licensed.
• Under the per-Education Bundle Tier License Metric, Customer may create Shared Webinar Rooms and Meetings as described herein.  Customer may create an unlimited number of Shared Webinar Rooms from the Seminars tab and an unlimited number of Seminar Hosts may administer such Shared Webinar Rooms, but only one Meeting can take place at any given time, and a Seminar Host must be present in the room for the room to be accessed.  Additionally, Customer may create an unlimited number of Meeting Rooms and run several active Meetings simultaneously, but the number of Active Concurrent Users across all of those active Meetings may not exceed the hard-cap set for the relevant tier of Active Concurrent Users licensed. The tier of Active Concurrent Users licensed for any renewal terms under this License Metric is set by the average of the 3 highest months of Active Concurrent Users during the License Term preceding the renewal.  For example, Customer may license a tier of Active Concurrent Users that includes a default of 250 seats with a hard-cap of 500 seats; this means that Customer may hold Meetings with as many as 500 Meeting Attendees across the active Meetings during that License Term.  If Customer’s 3 months of peak usage during that License Term are 300, 400 and 500 Active Concurrent Users, then Customer’s renewal tier for Active Concurrent Users must include at least 400 seats as a default (i.e. (300+400+500 ) / 3 = 400).  For clarity, Customer’s use of the Shared Webinar Room does not impact the number of Active Concurrent Users or the peak usage used to determine the renewal tier.  Customer must be deemed an educational institution at Adobe’s discretion in order to license under the per-Active Concurrent User License Metric.
