FAQ

  • Which license is used by the plugin when I click the License button?
    The plugin uses the Standard licensing option. For the remaining cases, you will receive the direct link that can be used for more complex license scenarios directly on the Adobe Stock website
  • I get an error on download, why is that?
    Adobe Stock will invalidate the authorization token from time to time. Just go to the provider’s page and disconnect, then connect again. The error should disappear. If it doesn’t, and you have enough credits to download, please contact support.
  • Can I download previously licensed images?
    Yes, all images that were previously licensed will not incur any licensing cost, as long as they had been licensed under the “Standard” License.
