Here is how USC handles distribution of Adobe software.  I just received
this from ISD management:
(bmr = basic microcomputer resource and if you subscribe to it you get your
software as I described .

no... we buy concurrent use licenses and use a product called
keyserver from sassafras software to restrict access to those that
pay us and to ensure no more than X number are in use at any time.
Adobe charges a slight (25%) premium for concurrent use licenses (vs.
single user).
