font use after license expires

Hello,

what if you use a font to make a logo, print and sell it on t-shirts and merch, use it as your main logo, etc...

And then your adobe cc license expires and you don't want to continue the license?

(I hope you understand what I mean...)

Can you still keep your logo and sell T-shirts and merch?

      Please read Adobe Fonts  -- Font Licensing and Terms of Use agreement (PDF) below.

       

      Can I keep using files I created with these fonts if I cancel Creative Cloud?

      Yes and no. Any file which embeds the font data, such as PDF or image formats, and any text that has been rasterized or outlined, will continue to display correctly. These types of files may be reproduced and distributed independent of your subscription status.

       

      Documents that reference fonts on your computer, such as an InDesign or Word document, will show a missing fonts warning and use a default font from the program in place of the one from Adobe Fonts. You would need to purchase a new font license and install the fonts on your computer to continue to display and edit these files.

       

      Post back if you still have questions.

        Thanks for the answer.   What do we do with expired fonts and still have the Adobe CC license?  I've run into this issue and have been on with support and have tried to reactivate and even reinstall the fonts with only an error message stating, "A font could not be added due to a conflict" and no other help.
