Enhanced License (via Creative Cloud) and creating layouts for clients

Question

I've tried to reach out to the email address provided on the stock.adobe.com website, though never get a response.

I have an Enhanced License via my subscription to Creative Cloud. And I just want assurance that I'm using stock imagery from Adobe Stock correctly.

I would just like to check that we can indeed use Adobe Stock images downloaded with our Enhanced Licence (included in our plan), in layouts we create for our client's advertising.

The end products we create are for advertising communication use, across print and social media - not items intended for resale (ie t-shirts with a downloaded artwork element). Nor are we sending the “raw” stand alone stock images to our clients - only supplying the end product layouts - which in rare cases, might be open layered files, though heavily modified.

I am sure we’re using it correctly, though would just appreciate the confirmation.

Many thanks

There is no e-mail support done by Adobe. So, I realély do not know what e-mail address you have, but for sure it isn't a support address.

What creative cloud subscription do you have?

I'm a little confused, that you have a subscription of creative cloud with stock included, as those subscriptions are normally for bigger companies having a bunch of subscriptions and a huge need of stock assets. Such companies normally have a legal department handling such questions.

In any case, Adobe stock is designed to be used for client work, so sending out readily made adverts to your client or a printing company is the normal sitiation for any graphic arts company. So your use should be covered by the licencing terms.

But as the licensing terms strongly depend on your subscription, we can't really answer this, except that in general an enhanced licence can do, what a standard licence does, plus there is no limitation on views or the print run. But to be 100% sure about the fine print in your situation, you should get advice from your legal department.

Adobe won't (publicly) answer your request, as any answer by Adobe could be considered like a committment of Adobe, even if the answer is not the correct one.

(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).
