Dreamstime Introduces Unlimited Extended Licenses

Posted on 3/8/2016 by Jim Pickerell | Printable Version | Comments (0)

Dreamstime has made changes to its Extended License policy allowing users to produce unlimited copies of purchased media. Previously, customers purchased extended licenses for print or web usage of an image and were restricted by limits on the number of copies they could reproduce, for example for t-shirts, on-demand printed items, or e-cards.

Extended Licenses from Dreamstime are now available with either credits or through one of the flexible subscription offerings. The new change went into effect March 1, 2016 and also to Extended License purchases made within the past thirty days.

"Every change we make to our stock image services is customer centric and designed to fit the widest array of client needs," said Serban Enache, CEO and co-founder, Dreamstime. "By expanding our Extended Licenses to unlimited copies, our millions of customers have yet another option to choose from. They no longer need to buy the print or web license again just to produce their needed number of copies. Because simplicity is best, they buy the EL once, and then can satisfy all of their print on-demand needs and electronic image requirements. It's just the latest example of Dreamstime's commitment to the customer which has positioned us as the leading stock image firm.



"The Web Usage Extended License applies to electronic items that are for resale, such as web templates, screensavers, e-cards or PowerPoint presentations. The Print Usage Extended License covers physical items for resale, including the right to use the images for t-shirts, mugs, posters, and other similar promotional marketing items.

The basic license is for up to 500,000 copies of printed materials. Unlimited electronic impressions are allowed with the basic license. To read more details about the various Dreamstime licensing and terms options, visit http://www.dreamstime.com/terms.php#extended.
