Use of images from ADOBE Stock without additional costs?

[Hugo32733173cvx5]

Dear reader

I have an academic license for ADOBE software such as Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator, ... The membership also includes ADOBE Stock.

Will this mean that I can use (download, ...) all the images that I need from ADOBE Stock without additional costs?

The administrator of my membership does not know the answer.

Thank you for paying attention to this.

If you have "unlimited Access to Adobe Stock standard images" you have unlimited access to this. That does not mean that you can use the assets as you want, but there is a licence coming with that, and you need to honour that licence. And I'm not sure that you have the standard commercial licence. 

And if you read correctly, video and audio does not seem to be included.

Dear ABAMBO

Thank you very much for ansering me so soon. 

I think I can conclude from your answer that I can use photos to incorporate them into a web banner at no additional cost. Or have I misunderstood you?

I found this in the mail that ADOBE sent me:

What does is mean "license AS assets natively ... ".

Thank you and kind regards

It means that you can search for stock assets from within some of the Adobe apps without having to leave that app and go to the Adobe stock website.

That's clear. Thank you, Yill!

@Jill_C is right, stock licencing is built-in into many Adobe applications. As for your other question: check the licensing terms that come with your plan.

Thank you, ABAMBO. I'm trying to find clarity in this.

Kind regards

You're welcome. I think that there are restrictions for the use of the assets with Pro Edition, EDU. I think you are not allowed to use the assets in a commercial setting.

Dear ABAMBO

Where do you think I can see if there are restrictions for the use of the assets with Pro Edition EDU? What is possible and what is not possible should be stated somewhere, right? My problem is still not solved. Our administrator contacted support but there was no response so far. Thanks for trying to help me.

This page does not say anything about “commercial” use of Pro Edition EDU. The user needs to check the licensing terms. I think to remember that someone wrote somewhere that the EDU licence can't be used for commercial activities. However, the OP needs to confirm that by himself. This is the nearest indication that I found on the web in relation with the EDU licence: https://adobe.arizona.edu/signup/adobe-stock

Thank you for trying to help) me again. I found this:

And this (translated):

Licenses tailored to companies.
With Adobe Stock you are licensed for an unlimited number of copies or views of your work. Access assets with one click and continue using them even as team members come and go.

Conclusion:

I think my membership includes that I can use the photo's I want ... Do you agree with this interpretation?

Have a nice day!

I would guess, you can't use extended licences with your subscription and Premium assets are not included in your subscription. I would guess that videos are also excluded.

If you can licence, you can use the photo you want, but only according to the licence terms and conditions. Definitely, you can use assets, but there may be restrictions on where you can use the assets. You need to study the licensing terms.

I can tell you where to find the terms and conditions of a standard licence with a standard (commercial) plan. But I have no idea what restrictions you have with your PRO EDU plan. I know that PRO users can licence unlimited standard assets, but that the licence is not perpetual, which is a difference to a standard commercial subscription. Other restrictions do also apply, in exchange for getting unrestricted access to assets.

So, you need to find the licencing terms applicable for your plan, and then you can decide what exactly you can do with those assets.

If you are doing a personal page, or a page for your faculty or university, my gut feeling says go ahead. If you are doing client work, I would guess that you have restrictions, out of my gut.

Thank you, ABAMBO. I think that's clear now. We can stop our conversation.
