When you subscribe to Creative Cloud for teams Pro, all assets under the plan are included with an Enhanced License.
An Enhanced License gives you access to unlimited copies or views of an Adobe Stock asset. It's an upgrade from the Standard License which is included in the Adobe Stock "normal" subscription plan.

However, an Enhanced License can’t be used in merchandise, templates, or products for resale and distribution. To learn more about different Adobe license types, visit https://stock.adobe.com/license-terms.
When you upgrade to Creative Cloud for teams Pro, you will have access to the same plan. As an upgraded user you can license unlimited Adobe Stock standard images. Once the images have been licensed, all team members can download and work with their team’s assets. Your previously licensed assets remain as part of your plan even if team members change.
Once you upgrade your plan to Creative Cloud for teams Pro, follow these steps:
-
Visit https://stock.adobe.com/ and sign in with your Adobe business ID. Once you sign in, the navigation pane on top shows “Unlimited images” on the upper-left corner.
You can use the search bar in the upper-right side of the screen to search for assets in Adobe Stock.
If you cancel your Creative Cloud for teams Pro edition plan or it expires, you can use licensed assets only for previously created projects. You can’t use your previously licensed assets for any new project or other use.
