I’ve been learning and using substance painter for portfolio work for the last 3 years now. I’ve now gotten to the point where I can potentially sell my assets (mesh+textures) to clients. Currently I have a student license which does not allow me to sell my assets commercially. I must upgrade to a commercial license to do so. Now my question is - Will re-exporting my textures from my existing projects (that were made with a student license) in substance painter with my new commercial license allow me to sell those textures commercially or do I need to alter them to make them legal?

Correct answer Cyril Dellenbach

As long as you have an official license, no problem. There’s nothing written in the texture file. As long as you now have a license, you can sell whatever you did as a student. You don’t even need to re-export it.
