Must I transfer audio license to client for THEIR use on YouTube?

Question

Hi, newbie stock user here. I have prepared a video for use by a client and I have licensed the audio from Adobe Stock. (The video portion is original.) I have the stock license code.

The client wants to upload the video to their YouTube channel. I know that YouTube may question the license... but the audio is licensed to me, not to the client. Must I transfer the license to the client for their YouTube upload or are they Okay to upload?

Thanks to the community as always.

The customer has the right to use the video with the audio you licensed from Adobe stock. However, the customer needs to be able to prove that you did correctly licence the audio. You need to help the customer in that case. See here for more information: https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2020/06/16/adobe-stock-audio-content-id-claims.html#gs.c8dxfy

For this, they need the licence code that you need to transfer to your client. See here: https://stock.adobe.com/audio-copyright-claims
