Using AS images to illustrate a book

  • July 8, 2018

I would like to use AS images for a book that would be sold commercially.  The images would support the content of the book rather than being the primary focus (like images in a textbook).  I've read through the contract information regarding licensing and it is a bit unclear to me.  I have also read through a thread from 2016 which I feel answers my question; however, as it is 2 years later would like to re-verify the answer in the event something has changed.

From what I understand, AS images can be used in a book under the standard licensing agreement as long as printed copies of the book do not exceed 500,000 copies.  If I wanted rights to print unlimited copies I would have to purchase an extended license or purchase another standard license if printed copies exceeded 500,000.

Thanks for you time in answering my question.

Hi Michele,

Thanks for reaching out to the Adobe Stock community.

Yes, the Adobe Stock images can be used in a book under the standard licensing agreement as long as printed copies of the book do not exceed 500,000 copies.

However, if you wanted rights to print unlimited copies you would have to purchase an enhanced license.

Also, if you want the asset to be featured in merchandise or for resale purpose, you need an Extended license.

Hope this information helps!
