How is ADK licensed for use in Custom WinPE-based Media Builder?
I am looking for a tool to display Clonezilla that I could use to create bootable media to send to users to reimage their machines? Not looking or needing any other features or capabilities available True Image other than capability to displace clonezilla with something faster and easier to use. So I can use Custom WinPE-based Media Builder to create a bootable disk. Still, unless I have True Image installed on the same machine as the Custom WinPE-based Media Builder will not be included in the created disk; thus, I am assuming that ADK must be licensed for use? If yes, how is ADK licensed?

You would be violating both Acronis and Microsoft licensing by doing what you are proposing. Acronis doesn't sell a technician license to allow you to use True Image on any customers' machines that don't have a license for True Image. Microsoft doesn't allow WinPE to be distributed. No software company distributes a finished WinPE ISO. WinPE Recovery media is always created by the user on a Windows computer.
Now, the question is can you get away with it? The answer is probably yes. It is unlikely either company would find out and take action against you. Would I do it? Not a chance!!!!!!
