Definitions

AEM Assets Base Package means 1 Author Instance.

AEM Deployment means an independent Author Instance or linked cluster of Author Instances, with any number of connected Publish Instances.

AEM Forms Base Package means each unit of either the base Form Submissions or base Forms Renditions products purchased by Customer.

AEM Forms Portal means an AEM Forms module that allows for limited access to AEM Sites functionality and Media Library for use in conjunction with AEM Forms.  A reasonable number of User licenses are included with AEM Forms Portal, but any such Users are only authorized to use the AEM Sites functionality and Media Library subject to the limits of AEM Forms Portal and are not authorized to access the full functionality of AEM Sites and AEM Assets.

AEM Sites Base Package means 1 Author Instance, 1 Publish Instance, and an unlimited number of Dispatcher Instances.

Asset Share Feature means the subset of AEM Assets functionality that facilitates the distribution of Customer’s digital assets stored within AEM Assets to internal and external groups via an “Asset Share Page” (i.e., a page used to search assets based on associated metadata). Access to the Asset Share Page is not limited to Users.

Author Instance means the environment where Users can enter and manage the content of Customer’s website.

Brand Portal means the Brand Portal On-demand Service. Brand Portal On-demand Services-based storage is counted as part of Customer’s total storage.

Brand Portal User means an individual who may use or access the Brand Portal user interface. Brand Portal Users licenses may not be used concurrently (i.e., the same login ID may not be used by more than one User or Computer at a discrete moment in time) or by multiple Users.

Content Fragment means a unit of structured content with content elements whose interrelationships are defined in a content model.

Deploy means to deliver or otherwise make available, directly or indirectly, by any means, a Document to one or more persons or entities including Recipients. A Document that has been Deployed will be deemed to remain Deployed until it is no longer available for distribution.

Dispatcher Instance means the environment for the caching or load balancing tool for a dynamic web authoring environment. For caching, the Dispatcher Instance works as part of an HTTP server that caches as much of the static website content as possible and accesses the website's layout engine as infrequently as possible. In a load-balancing role, the Dispatcher Instance distributes load across different clustered Instances.

Document means an electronic or printed file that is processed or generated by AEM Forms, including Documents that contain data fields where data may be entered and saved.  A Document will be deemed “unique” unless it is an identical copy of a Deployed Document, is a direct language translation of a Deployed Document, differs from other Deployed Documents only with respect to correction of typographical errors, or contains pre-Deployment customizations of information about Recipients (e.g. name, address, account number, etc.) and similar differences that do not alter the fundamental business purpose of the Document.

Where a form consists of multiple pages or panels, a submission of the form is considered a single Form Submission.

Guides Content means content which is created, edited and managed in AEM Guides including DITA topics, DITA maps, and related assets (e.g., images, multimedia, document schema and other configuration files).

Guides User means a named User who may contribute to or manage the Guides Content including creating, translating, publishing, and creating renditions of, Guides Content.

Instance means one copy of the On-premise Software instantiated and running within a java virtual machine process on one physical Computer or virtual environment. Each Instance can be designated as either an Author Instance or Publish Instance, but each will be counted separately as one Instance.

Use of any other features of AEM Assets requires a full AEM Assets license.

Page View means a single view of an email or web page of an internet site, including application screen views, application screen states, mobile web pages, and social network pages. Page Views are counted when a web page is loaded or refreshed, an application is loaded, or when content renders or is shown through an opened or viewed email, and it triggers activity at the origin service. With respect solely to Dynamic Media, (a) Page Views are further counted any time a request triggers activity at the origin and/or cache service, and (b) Page Views are counted on all of Customer’s internet sites, applications, mobile web pages, and social network pages, irrespective of Dynamic Media use.

PDF Forms Rendering Engine means the server-based component of AEM Forms that dynamically renders and Deploys a PDF form for filling, saving and submission.

Primary Server Call means each page view, exit link, download, customer link, or other event on the Customer Site(s) to the extent that Customer tags, allows to be tagged, or causes to be tagged such page views, exit links, downloads, custom links, and other events for purposes of accessing and using Adobe Analytics Essentials for Sites. Each tagged page view, exit link, campaign container request, download, custom link, or other event will be counted as one Primary Server Call.

Processing Instance means the environment where run-time processing operations, which do not occur on the Publish Instance, are conducted.

Publish Instance means the environment that makes content available to Customer’s intended audience.

Reader Extensions means an AEM Forms module that, when used on Documents, enables Customer to activate additional Reader Features in Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Reader Features means:

(a)    certain technology embedded into PDF files by Adobe Forms that enables features in Adobe Acrobat Reader software that would not otherwise be available (e.g., the ability to save documents locally or add annotations); and

(b)    metadata (stored on a Computer and/or embedded in an electronic file of a supported file format) that contains or refers to access and usage rights designed to be enforced by Adobe Forms Rights Management directly or through supported software applications.

Recipient means a person to whom Customer directly or indirectly Deploys Documents. Recipient licenses may not be shared or used by more than one individual Recipient but may be reassigned:
