My understanding of the license is that you can run one App on one machine with One CPU. It forbids running the same app on many machines (ex. kiosks or clustered). Actually...that's not quite the full story. You *can* run the same app on a cluster/kiosk...if it does *not* use the Flex Express Data Services component. If you just have a Flex/Flash file that's connectig to basic HTTP-based web services... you can run it with as much load as you wish. Flex Data Services Express is the server component that provides declarative security, a binary RMI with auto marshalling/serializaing of objects, auto-conversion between Java and Actionscript objects, proxy-whitelists, and more. I'm betting the assumption by Adobe is that folks will try raw free Flex and like it. Then they will try free FDSE and like that more, and eventually need to scale up and spend $20K/CPU for the Enterprise version. If that works or not...time will tell.
