Uses and rights vary by creator, and you need to read the license that comes with the fonts you are using for details.

In general, you need a license for each person who is using a font and a license for the printer, though the latter varies even more than the former. Redistribution of a font for electronic purposes is still relatively new and may require special permission if not a separate license from the creator if not explicitly given in the agreement that was sent with the font files.

You'll want to look at this question for a more detailed discussion of how it all works.
