All fonts are licensed for personal and commercial use?

[Sean Booth]

Ok I’m really confused here. If all Adobe fonts are cleared for Personal and Commercial work then why does my client need thier own licence for web fonts? The headline contradicts the terms which snow state,

“No. The Terms of Use don't permit this. The client's website must load Adobe Fonts from their own Creative Cloud subscription to ensure that there isn't any interruption to the font licensing or web font hosting. ”

When did this change? And why would ANY client want thir own Creative Cloud subscription just to use the font!?

The headline is total rubbish and 100% misleading in my opinion.

Hi @Sean Booth,

All fonts available through Adobe Fonts are indeed licensed for both personal and commercial use. When you activate fonts via Adobe Fonts, you’re covered under the Adobe Fonts licensing agreement, which allows you to use them in your creative projects—whether for personal work or commercial purposes—without needing to purchase additional licenses.

For full details, you can review the official licensing terms here: https://helpx.adobe.com/fonts/using/font-licensing.html.

‘Commerical projects isn’t striktly true though is it? Commercial use is very broad but the specific clause for client websites (“client must use their own account”) is buried in the terms/help pages.

So additional licences are needed for use on websites?
