Picture extended licence terms of duration. Does it expire?

Question

Hi i purchased on 2021 a AdobeStock picture with extended licence. The picture was not flag as "special" so standar extended licelce applies. We used the picture to print a travel catalogue and put it into a page. Question is if i want to use the same picture for a reprint of the same catalogue today, in 2024, should i buy again the same picture with the extended licence or is still valide the old one of 2021? in other words: does the extenede licence usage of a picture expires? I tried with the customer care support but their answers were contraddictory and i ping pong with an endless ticket. Thanks for the ones can help. Ciao Luca

No. it does never expire. You can use that asset as you wish for the same customer (own use counts also as customer) as long as you wish and for any use you wish (a few limitations are laid out in the licensing terms). You can even print it on t-shirts and that would be lawful use. Yo cannot sell the picture, however, or use it for a project for a different client.

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 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).
