Adobe's license is for one printer, and an unlimted number of workstations using ATM or DPS. Additional printers are licensed as follows (prices are for a typical $185 list package): Printers 2-5: $185 (for all printers) Printers 5-10: $185 and so on... So to add a license for 3 (or 4 or 5) additional printers, it would only cost $185. The Font Company licenses their fonts for 1 high res printer (over 600dpi), 2 low res printers (below 600 dpi) and 10 rendering stations. Disclaimer: This is what the droid at Adobe told me...
