notes: >-
  Adobe Captivate is a desktop authoring application and does not expose a
  public REST API. There are no published per-second / per-minute rate
  limits. Activation and entitlement traffic flows through Adobe IMS
  licensing endpoints common to all Creative Cloud apps.
description: >-
  Adobe Captivate has no consumer-facing API surface. Network activity is
  limited to Adobe IMS license activation and asset library sync. This
  rate-limits artifact is retained for cataloging consistency only.
