Support for Cloud Based Deployments
Along with all the new tools and capabilities, Adobe is also now supporting cloud deployments of LiveCycle ES2. Organizations can host LiveCycle ES2 in an Amazon Web Services environment, providing both faster, simplified application deployment and the ability to host multiple development and test environments for development teams.

Used by both developers and business professionals, there are a couple of different ways to trial the software before you make the final decision to buy.
