If you are licensing an asset for a client (your wife), you can't use it any more for a different client (including yourself). But you are allowed to licence for a client in the limits of the licencing terms and conditions.

 

Look here for more information on licensing: https://community.adobe.com/t5/stock/links-for-licensing-terms/td-p/11366788
(Disclaimer: As always with licensing, this is my interpretation of the rules. I think they are correct and advice is based on reading and interpreting the licence terms and on fair use for both the buyer and the artist/stock company, but I cannot rule out that my interpretation is wrong. I'm not an Adobe employee).

How can I license an asset for my wife? Do I need to notify Adobe Stock specifically about this step, or is it acceptable that the asset is solely utilized by my wife and no one else (including me)?

This is not a problem specific to your wife. Look at your wife like any other customer, and it will be clearer.

 

If you license an asset on behalf of your customer, you make a licensing contract with them. In that contract, you specify the terms of the licence, and those terms are at least as stringent as those from Adobe stock. I would state that the asset has been licensed on Adobe stock, and that the customer's use is bound to the Adobe stock licensing terms.

 

You probably won't do a licensing contract with your wife, except if she is (legally) a different commercial entity, like she has a gift shop and you are a designer. You need to know how to handle that internally with your wife.

 

And no, you do not need to notify Adobe stock and for Adobe stock you are still the one responsible for the asset use.

 

And yes, the asset should exclusively be used by your wife, and if you need a licence of the same asset for your own use, you relicense. However, your wife can use the asset multiple times.
