Adobe AIR [ Lifetime License]

Adobe AIR is a cross-platform runtime system currently developed by Harman International, in collaboration with Adobe Inc., for building desktop applications and mobile applications, programmed using Adobe Animate, ActionScript, and optionally Apache Flex. It was originally released in 2008. The runtime supports installable applications on Windows, macOS, and mobile operating systems, including Android, iOS, and BlackBerry Tablet OS.

Adobe AIR can also be named as a runtime engine or a runtime environment. It is developed by Adobe, a well-known company, which has developed many adorable applications.

A runtime engine is designed to run as required by other applications and it can provide common routines and functions that the applications require. Besides, some online gaming websites use Runtime Environments for their games

In a runtime environment, developers can create web apps that can be used on different operating systems or browse the company’s products directly from the web app without visiting the company’s website in a web browser.

Therefore, sometimes, you may find Adobe AIR appears on your PC after installing some applications. It can be regarded as an auxiliary program because some programs must run with its help.
