SAN CARLOS, CA, - ReleaseNow, a leading commerce service provider, today announced an e-commerce agreement with Adobe Systems Incorporated (NASDAQ: ADBE), the third largest PC software company in the U.S., to develop a promotional electronic Download Center for AdobeGoLiveTM software, Adobe's leading-edge Web design software.

The promotion is being distributed on a bonus CD in 750,000 special packages of Photoshop 6.0 software and upgrades to customers in the United States.
