Title: Custom license in activity page
Post by: MatHayward on February 25, 2019, 18:44: Hi everyone,

A quick heads up. Soon you will start seeing the word "custom" as a license type in the activity statistics section of the Adobe Stock Contributor portal. This sale type is an indication of a custom license from an Enterprise customer.

Kind regards,

Mat Hayward

Post by: Jo Ann Snover on February 25, 2019, 19:35: I see custom in the activity lists now.

Is it the case that "standard" - one of the two other designations - is only used for Fotolia credit sales and will no longer appear after Nov 5 2019?

Is there anything other than "subscription" and "custom" (I see only subscription and custom with a sprinkling of standard sales)?

Thanks for letting us know

I found that "custom" designation on a couple of recent sales, too, and the royalties were nice. Here's hoping for lots more of those!

I have a number of those, and I think that's the high volume deals that hit the floor on per license pricing. At SS, the 38 cent SODs started with the Facebook deal, I think, where the ad buyer actually paid nothing and whatever fees passed to SS from FB, we got 38 cents per use.

I still think it's wrong that we have no insight into the license granted for SS Enterprise sales or AS custom deals, but that horse bolted a long time ago...

Post by: Fairplay on February 26, 2019, 11:58: So the wrong big sales were custom license.
The question is how much we get for these "custom" sales 33%?
Mat, please explain what was the mistake in the calculation and why we got 12.5% from the previously announced amounts!

He already did that (http://www.microstockgroup.com/fotolia-com/adobe-stock-took-my-money-away/msg527260/#msg527260).

He said that the amounts were wrong because the sales price was wrong and that 33% royalty is paid on all Enterprise sales.
