Mockup license

Question

Hello:

I write here because chat support had no clue, and the simply could send me to the licensing terms that I already had read.

The question is simple. I am going to sell my posters on ETSY and would like a few mockups to showcase my posters. But these are for showcase how it would look in a real environment but those images are not going to be sent to the client . A print of my poster is going to be send after purchase.

So can mockups to showcase products be purchased with a regular license or do they need an extended one ?

Thnak you very much

I do not think that @mastix can ues the watermarked files for his application.

If I understand Christian correctly, he is not using the assets for for creating (example) an advert with a stock asset and showing that to a customer, but his product is his own creation, that he want's to photoshop into an Adobe stock asset, to present his product in a pleasant way.

In this case, he could use the watermarked version to test his designs, but as soon as he is publishing what he tested, he will need to buy a licence.

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.

It is a correct answer of Adobe employees to send you to the licence terms, as those are the legal binding documents. If they say something other than that, they may make a statement that binds the company. If that statement is in contrary to the terms, there would be a problem.

So let me analyze this: you are selling your own assets and those assets do not contain stock assets. You want to use stock assets to create a pleasant presentation of your items, so that the potential buyer sees how your items could be presented. That's a typical use for a standard license.
