Can't figure out which license to use: Standard or Extended?

Question

Hello,
 
I sell various presentations given by public speakers. We put them on DVDs/CDs and sell the discs from our website. I would like to use adobe stock to create an image that would be printed on the discs themselves. The only modifications would be cropping, adding the title, the presenter's name, our logo, and file format (Blu-ray, DVD, mp3, etc.). We sell roughly 30 of each disc.
 
A few questions:
1- Would I need to use a Standard license for this, or an Extended license?
2- Do I need to credit the image creator? If yes, can that be done on the website sales page, or does it have to be on every individual disc? (I would be sad to put it on the disk, as I think it would look weird.)
3- Do licenses expire? If yes, how do I go about keeping mine up to date?
 
(I apologize if these are obvious questions- I'm rather new to the graphic arts world. I hope to do right by the creators, Adobe, and legally. Thanks! &#128578;

You should read the licensing terms for information on how you can use the assets.

My guess is that you would be OK with a standard licence because the main motivation to buy your CD/DVD is the presentation and not the picture (no merchandising). You can modify images that you license on stock as you wish. There are very few exceptions as laid out in the terms.

I am not convinced that putting a credit on a disk would look weird. But my guess is, as you do not use the image in an editorial sense, you should not need to worry, except if you also put other credits on the CD.

Standard licences do expire, as there is a print limit of 500k. So if you are selling around 30 CDs, you will have plenty of room to use the asset. There is no expire in time. You can still use the asset in 100 years, if it pleases you.

(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).
