Can purchased assets be transferred to new accounts? Will the licensing still be attached?

Question

Hello,I want to purchase an asset subscription for my daughter. She is currently a college student and has free access to all Adobe apps through her school.  She will graduate in 2 years.  My question is this:  will my daughter be able to continue to use the assets I purchased for her after she graduates?  She will not be able to use her school e-mail address after she graduates and will have to get a new e-mail address.  The adobe account login is through her school e-mail.  Is it as simple as her downloading these assets onto her hard drive and then upload them again into her new account?  Will the license for these assets still be valid in her new account?  Or will she have to re-pay licensing for them?  Is there a better way for her to go about this?  I'd hate to buy her a subscription now and have her lose everything in two years.  Hope this makes sense.  Thank you!

It makes sense!

I suppose, your daughter has a school provided e-mail address an she has her Adobe ID linked to that e-mail. And I suppose that the school provided access to Creative Cloud (and that access is not an individual student subscription for Creative Cloud).

I would suggest to attach a secondary e-mail address to that Adobe-id, that would avoid trouble, when the school provided e-mail address is no more accessible. Then, you have two different states of your account. The private state and the enterprise state. She can have the subscription in her private account, as the school has nothing to do with that. The inconvenience is switching between private and school provided license.

I, for my part have 2 different accounts, completly separated. One is for what I do privatly, the other is on my professional address. When I need to share data between them, I can use shared space on the cloud, at my convenience, Creative Cloud file space or Creative Cloud Libraries or even non Adobe cloud space.

For stock, you can youse browser access, when accessing your stock account. I use Firefox for one, Chrome for the other, so I can be logged in concurrently and do whatever I intend to do.

Now licenses: the licences are by default with the subscriber, so your daughter, if she is the subscriber, she holds the licences and can use the assets according to the licensing terms. And if she quits school, the licences are still with her, as is probably every creative project she does with or without using stock assets. Schools often use students works for expositions and school websites and other events. That's ok, but the school needs to know if there are third party rights attached to school work. The school rules will give here more information.

Apart from this, the licenses are perpetual and only limited by the licensing terms.

(Disclaimer: As always with licensing, this is my interpretation of the rules. I think they are correct and advice is based on reading and interpreting the licence terms and on fair use for both the buyer and the artist/stock company, but I cannot rule out that my interpretation is wrong. I'm not an Adobe employee).
