How do I purchase a music track license without a subscription?

[paulodefender]

I've edited an adobe music track preview into a video and am now trying to instruct my client on the purchasing process.

They do not wish to enter into a subscription but purchase the standard rights as a one off payment. I beleive this can be done using a credit pack but after repeated phone calls and chat sessions with adobe, I still cannot work out how the process works.

When I go to the music track on the Adobe stock webpage and hit the shopping cart icon all I get are two options to either join a monthly or yearly subscription, there seems to be no option to buy the track as a one off purchase or use any prepaid credits. Do you need to purchase credits for the option to become available?

Even if I could work out how to do it, I can't seem to find any indication of how many credits a standard music license requires. It seems like a very strange way of selling anything?!

Can anyone help explain the process please?

Any help would be great.

Thanks Paul

Standard licences cost 1 credit. You can either take the free, 30-day offer (do not forget to cancel), or you can buy credit packs (no subscription, unused credits expire after a year) or you could take a monthly subscription and cancel before the first month ends.

Thanks for your quick reply Adambo, it's good to know how many credits a Standard License costs.

I'm afraid I'm still at a loss as to how you purchase a track with credits though as there seems to be no option to do this.

Do you need to purchase credits before you click on the shopping cart icon to unlock this option?

many thanks,
P

If you listen to my advice, take the 10 assets/month subscription and cancel before the end of the 30 day periode.

AH, thanks Adambo, sound advice but as my client will be purchasing the track I know they will not be keen to buy a subscription and then cancel it.

It seems that you only perhaps get the option to use a credit if you have already purchased them.

this is the pop-up I get without a subscription or any credits:

Yes, that is the screen, you get for taking the test subscription. So, if the client does not want to take the trial, they need to acquire credits beforehand. On the link, I shared before, they need to scroll down, to get at this point:

They can take any number of credits, but if it is only to licence a coulple of sound files, 5 credits shoul do. 

If you are doing a video project for them, and you won't pass over the original file, but only the video, yo can also licence. If the will put the asset on YouTube, you will need also to pass on the licence code:
