Respected Experts, If multiple contributors use their own computers under the same Internet IP address. If each has a separate contributor account. Each of which has its own and separate information. If they manage them from separate computers. Can their contributor accounts ever be closed for having the same internet IP address? Many people say this. Please help by saying the correct one. Thanks in advance

Are you thinking of running a design factory?

  • Each employee will need their own Stock Contributor Account, separate log-ins and separate Tax ID numbers.
  • Content must be independently created & submitted to Stock. 
  • Each contributor must have 100% ownership rights to whatever they submit. 

 

Read & understand Stock's Submission Guidelines and TERMS of Agreement.

The IP Address will not be monitored. Keep your assets seperate and you will be ok.

Thank you. Can multiple contributors manage their accounts from one computer? Suppose there are three members in a family, all of whom have contributor accounts. Can they upload designs to their accounts from one computer?

Yes, you can also use ONE computer only, but some very basic things need to be unique:

  • the assets
  • the tax form
  • the phone number
  • and apparently also the payout account.

Adobe doesn't care about the IP address you use to access your Stock account; however, it might be one of the data points they use to determine whether a Contributor is operating multiple acciunts in violation of the guidelines.
