When do meeting charges start on pay-per-use accounts?
For pay-per-use (PPU) accounts, meeting charges are initiated as soon as the first user enters the meeting room (including the presenter of the meeting).

Pay-per-use charges continue to accrue until the meeting is closed, or until all users have left the meeting. To make sure that the Adobe Connect Live PPU meeting is closed, and all charges stop, the meeting presenter uses the Stop Meeting feature.
How are my pay-per-use or overage charges calculated?
The Usage Detail view on the Service Plan tab shows exactly how many seats you used on your account over time. This usage is calculated for the account as a whole, regardless of how many meetings are in session at any one time. You can correlate this usage detail with meetings and participants by looking at Meeting Reports on the Reports tab.
I'm running out of seats in my meetings. What do I do?
You can either add additional seats to your plan, or enable overage for meetings on your account. Click Change Features on the Service Plan tab to select these features. Enabling overage means that you are charged for seats over those seats included in your plan on a per-minute basis. You can also talk to Adobe Sales regarding customized annual or licensed options that are most appropriate for your use patterns and business.
Is the Adobe Connect Live service available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week?
Yes. However, during periods of scheduled maintenance, the system can be temporarily unavailable for the duration of the maintenance. See the service level agreement for your account for additional information.
Can customers outside North America use the site?
Yes. However, Adobe Connect Live Monthly and PPU plans are available for purchase in U.S. dollars only. A valid credit card is required as this service is billed on an ongoing basis. Adobe is exploring the possibility of providing alternative payment methods and currencies.
Can I place a tax-exempt order for Adobe Connect?
Adobe is unable to process tax-exempt orders (including orders for most subscriptions) on the Adobe Store. If you qualify for tax exemption, contact Customer Service. Customer Service can process your tax-exempt forms and periodically refund taxes.
