Use Audio after Cancellation - Youtube License

[toddb56055133]

If I download audio tracks now, and then cancel my account, will I be able to use them in future videos I create and post on youtube next year? (Will the licenses be valid/available?)

You retain a perpetual license to any assets you've already licensed and downloaded at the time of cancellation. However, once you cancel your subscription, you lose access to any unused credits. Be sure that you've actually downloaded and stored your previously licensed assets.

In complement to @Jill_C's answer:  Please download the asset shortly after licensing, as it may happen that the contributor or Adobe pulls the asset from the database. Once that happens, you will no more be able to download the item, even that you are still allowed to use it.

For Audio assets, it is also crucial to safeguard the licence code:

It is worth noting that this is a YouTube problem, not an Adobe stock problem. Some copyright owners strike down every piece of music published on YouTube.
