    my company wants to use adobe caslon pro and helvetica neue for an app being developed, and asked me as to whether we have rights usage. since we have purchased copies of CS, i'd assume we can use caslon/helvetica. but there's some stuff on various forums that says the adobe EULA is kind of iffy, especially when it comes to mobile / web apps.

    anyone dealt with this? is the company just overly paranoid or am i way off the mark and extra licenses need to be purchased?

    You'll probably need to purchase a license for the extended use.

      The licensing policy for fonts that are provided with Adobe Software:
      "The purchase of a license for a retail font package from Adobe entitles the customer to install the font software on a specific permitted number of computers and printers for viewing, creating, authoring, and printing documents or files. If you purchase an Adobe Software Application that includes fonts, then the number of computers licensed per purchase is one (1). Similarly, the number of permanent downloads to a printer per purchase of the application software is one (1). However, if you purchase a retail font package, then you are allowed to use the typeface on up to five (5) computers, but you are still restricted to one (1) permanent download to a printer."
