Using Edited Adobe Audition Sound Effects in a Commercial Game on Steam

Hello,

I’m planning to use Adobe Audition’s royalty-free sound effects in a commercial game that I will publish on Steam. Specifically, I intend to edit (e.g., trim or modify) these sound effects and integrate them into my game. According to the Adobe Software License Agreement (EULA), it seems that modifying and using these sound effects in a game is permitted, as long as they are not distributed as a standalone product or claimed as trademarked content.

Could you please confirm if it’s acceptable to:

  1. Edit (e.g., trim or modify) Adobe Audition’s sound effects and use them in a commercial game?
  2. Publish the game on Steam without violating the EULA, provided the sound effects are integrated as part of the game and not distributed separately?

Any clarification or additional guidance on ensuring compliance with the EULA would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

My understanding is that you are correct; it's only the raw files that you aren't permitted to distribute.
