Using Adobe Software and Stock Educational License for Personal Social Media

Hi,

I can't seem to find the answer to this specific case.

I have an adobe creative cloud educational license, including various software, and unlimited stock images licensed as "Educational License".

Can I use these resources (software + stock) to create content for my personal social media projects (personal brand, and faceless theme page) that are not directly linked to my student life, and could end up generating money? Or do I need to get another kind of license to do so?
Are the rules the same for the software use and for the stock images?
If someone could help me it would be highly appreciated, since I can't seem to find a proper mention of what I can or cannot do with an Educational License. I just seem to find documentation about the "perpetual, worldwide license" and I don't know if an educational license is considered as such or is a different type of license.

I don't have any specific knowledge about what an "educational license" allows you to do with the assets; however, in general, the rule is "one license, one customer". That means if the asset was licensed by the school to use for a school project, you cannot also use it for your personal projects. Perhaps someone else who has more experience with the educational Stock program can expand on this.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

Thank you for your reply, but how do I know what stock I can use since all it shows regarding the license is "Educational License", and when I click it, it redirects me to the page showing information about the "perpetual worldwide license".
I can't seem to find anything else that gives me any kind of additional information.
