Hi!

 

I purchased a license of footage for use on an project a year ago but was looking to use the same clip for a separate project - does the license ever expire? If I want to use it on a different project do I have to repurchase the clip?

 

Thanks!

Licences do not expire, but you should read the licensing terms carefully as some applications will need you to have to relicense (work for a different customer) or to use a different licence (like putting the asset on T-shirts or mugs).

 

Look here for more information on licensing: https://community.adobe.com/t5/stock/links-for-licensing-terms/td-p/11366788
(Disclaimer: As always with licensing, this is my interpretation of the rules. I think they are correct and advice is based 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).
