It all depends on the source of the request for the layout. If it's *inside* the same business organization that owns the InDesign license, and if you have enough licenses to cover the number of InDeisgn applications running concurrently, my understanding is that it's OK. In short: intranet = allowed/internet = not allowed.

I've been working to get clarification of this issue with Adobe's legal folks, and we've been working on changes to the license agreement wording.

I agree that a true server-based ("headless"--i.e., no UI, and multiple-instance per CPU) InDesign for on-demand layout would be cool. We'll see what happens.<g>

Thanks,
