"Free" stock = License

[KE_DP]

Just wondering how this works,  I have the Photography subscription plan but am browsing assets for upcoming music videos.  I tend to grab lots of video pieces and work on assembly by choosing from a wide palette rather than going to have to stop editng and search for something else every time I need another clip.  (I only use a small portion of what's on hand - but if I get punished for downloading too many obviously I would have to change the process)

Is there a limit on "Free" downloads?  Does it vary depending on if you're a subscriber, or what plan etc.?  The breakdown for this doesn't seem very transparent, unless it's truly free with no limits.

Unless Adobe has changed this recently, the limit on downloads from the Free Collection is 3 per day.

Thanks - I figured there was a catch in there somewhere!

Well, it says free, not limitless. The limit has been imposed IMHO to avoid asset harvesting. At the start of this program, there was no imposed limit. The limit is not really documented.

If you want to use the free service, you need to plan the acquisitions over a few days. As a side note: the limit resets 24 hours after the last asset download.
