Created a packaging design for a client using adobe fonts. Said client now got an email from Monotype about license violation.

We’re a packaging design agency and frequently use Adobe Fonts in our work. When sending out files to the client we make sure to send them flattened (or, if the client has to edit the file later on, ask them to purchase their own font license / adobe subscription). Sometimes we are ask to create packshots as well and the client usually uses these packshots on their webseite or on print ads.

Today our client received an email from Monotype about license violations. Monotype referenced one of the packshots we did and (correctly) recognized Monotype fonts on it – each of these we got on Adobe Fonts. And to my knowledge, there is no license violation, correct? Because our client only got a png of a packshot and flattened Illustrator files. And the client themselves is not working with the font, other than printing the non-editable, flattened Illustrator file.
