Is it possible to use Apple's fonts for commercial use?

Is it possible to use Apple's fonts for commercial use?
Thank you very much.

Here's a look at the font agreement section from OS X Mountain Lion:
E. Fonts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you may use the fonts included with the Apple Software to display and print content while running the Apple Software; however, you may only embed fonts in content if that is permitted by the embedding restrictions accompanying the font in question. These embedding restrictions can be found in the Font Book/Preview/Show Font Info panel.
So basically, you need to examine the fonts to see if there are notes on usage restrictions or limitations.

  • Can i use free VMWare ESXi for commercial use.?

    Hi,
    I know that this question have come up before but I can't find any
    definitive answers. Can i use free VMWare ESXi for commercial use. We
    would like to host
    several customers on a machine running  VMWare ESXi. I want a clear answer so we can do it without any further discussion.
    Thank you all in advance,
    LNN

    If you plan on renting out a VM, then you need to look at the hosting programs - http://www.vmware.com/solutions/hosting/index.html.   The base EULA for ESX and ESXi do not allow for the rental of VMs but I believe it may be possible to get an exemption to that.

  • Are iMovie 10's songs and trailers made using their template available for commercial use?

    I am wondering if these are allowed for commercial use. If I have a trailer that was made with iMovie 10's trailer template and contains a song from the iMovie 10 program, can I use this commercially?

    I know I've heard some of those Jingles on promos companies play on PBS. I can't tell you the name of the one that comes up. Another time I've heard one on a pharmaceutical advert. But I cannot answer the legal question if you can use the canned jingles for commercial purposes. I don't know if the Apple End User License Agreement for iMovie covers commercial uses of the jingles.

  • Use iMovie on iOS for Commercial Use

    I am a real estate agent who wants to use the iOS version of imovie for home tours and publish them on my website. This would be consider commercial use and just wanted to konw if I will run into any trouble if I use iOS imovie in this manner. I did read over the licese and it seems I am not allowed to use any Audio content. But I just wondered if you are allowed to use the program to edit and for its texts and transitions for commercial purposes. I can always use the royal free music youtube provides for the music, but just wanted to see if I was ok with using it to create for commercial movies and clips...Thanks

    Welcome to the club.  :-)
    The iPad is not as powerful as a Mac, and they cannot share software, as they have different operating systems.
    There are two versions of iMovie available, one for Macs and an app for iPads. Their capabilities are different.  Do your research. :-)

  • How I claim my video to use my Adobe softwares for commercial use on Youtube?

    Hi,
    I would like make video tutorial on Youtube and I am enable for add advertising on my video with adsense. Basically, I need claim my video and say YouTube I can use my software for commercial use in my video. I need this help because Youtube is very strict for add advertising.
    My question is what do I have to write for my video to claim I can use my softwares (Creative Suite Production PremiumCS5.5) in my video for a tutorial?
    Here is the picture when I need claim my video on YouTube.
    Thanks you 

    You are being asked if  you have the rights to the content you are publishing. That is all.
    If you are using Copywrite content it is not allowed unless you have the rights or a license to use it. For instance if you create music for the background is it your music, or someone elses? If it is someone else's,  you cannot use it unless you have the right or license too do so. Your images are they open source or did you create them? Or did you rip them from the net? IF the latter you cannnot use.... Does not matter if you are using pirated, or stolen software (although frowned upon, and NOT recommned) to create your content
    Hope that was clear.

  • Can I use adobe illustrator fonts for commercial purposes?

    Hi,
    I have purchased adobe illustrator CS4. Does this mean I can use any of the fonts installed in the program for commercial purposes?
    I am currently doing a t-shirt design and want to use the font Verdana in the design. I plan to reprint and sell this t-shirt indefinitely.
    Is this legal?
    Kay.

    you can use the fonts you can even send the fonts to the printer you can certainly use them on the web, when you send the font it is usually only for the convenience of not having the Print House load the fonts, but since most font hoses have illustrator it is not a problem they have the fonts as well.
    They only keep the fonts with your job if you send it. For instance if you send them a project with a font that is part of their font library hen they will ask you to send them even if another client has  or is using that font. if they get 10 or so instance were the same font shows up and they think it is a trend they buy the font as a convenience for their customers.You can not distribute the fonts to other user not even free fonts.
    But sending it part of the job is fine, printers have no interest starting up with the large foundry houses and they understand the copyright laws and would put themselves in a bad light if they broke this ethic so it is not going to happen for $30.00 for a font.
    You are fine you bought Illustrator and so you have a license for them.
    One difference between the fonts you get from Illustrator and and the ones you purchase is that the ones you purchase are allowed to be installed on five machines usually and the fonts that are included with Illustrator can only be installed with the copy of Illustrator, technically that means two machines.
    But the way it works since you can install the same Illustrator on as many machines as you want but can only activate it on two an use on one of those two at any one time it is possible that you would be in violation of your license since the fonts do not need Adobe activation to be available for other applications.
    So it you're doing that then you're a felon buddy!

  • Lithos Pro font for commercial use (mobile app)

    Hello! I am going to create ios game using Lithos Pro font. Can I use this font in commertial purposes? So should I buy only 1 licence for $35?
    Thank you for the answer.

    Hey everyone. A bit more info...
    The font displayed is a set of bitmaps created from the TrueType font. No vector definition is included in the executable.
    Those bitmap images are used to display static text (ie, the text is displayed as it is in the text database, no text is created during the game). With the sole exception of numbers which are used for counters.
    All this said, what do I do? I've tried contacting anyone and everyone at Adobe but no one seems to have an answer for me. The font is to appear in a game and I need to figure out ASAP what I need to do to make sure I'm in the clear legally.
    As mentioned in my earlier post, I have a copy of Adobe Creative Suite (which includes Minion Pro). Does having the Suite license mean I can use this font in my video game commercially with the information provided above (in bold) in mind?

  • Use Graphic style library for commercial use

    Hi,
    I just need to clarify if those images/background from the adobe illustrator library can be used as it is(without editing at all) for commercial purpose e.g... in games/ poster/advertisement?
    Will there be copyright issues on the image or I have to do some editing to whats given by Ai before it can be used commercially?

    I just need to clarify if those images/background from the adobe illustrator library can be used as it is
    Yes.

  • Premiere Elements for commercial use

    Can I use Premiere Elements 12 for commercial use , like videos I make for training modules that I sell?
    I looked in the EULA and buried in section 16.14 and 16.15 is reference to non-commercial use due to encoder patents.  But nowhere is a straight forward yes or no for commercial use.
    Thanks for anyone that knows about this

    You are most welcome.
    Going way back, Adobe once had a restriction on material produced with the academic versions (like Student & Teacher editions) of some of its programs. I do not recall the exact timing, but would say that they relaxed that restriction about 10 years ago.
    Also, as Neale points out, the PrE Projects are not X-platform, but if one considers the Mac and the PC, they can output files (from the PrE Project) that ARE X-platform, for delivery. I am not exactly sure how you are referring to X-platform, but if the intent is to edit a Project between a Mac and a PC, then Neale's caveat will be very important. Though the Project file (PREL) looks the same (basically an XML database file), they are significantly different, that a PREL from a Mac, will not Open on a PC. For delivery of a finished AV file (your instructional video, in this case), if one selects say AVCHD (H.264 CODEC) for the output, that file will be viewable on both a Mac and a PC, so long as each computer has a viable version of the H.264 CODEC installed, and most will, or the user can add it. It's the same with most MOV files - so long as the PC has Apple's QuickTime Player installed. When you get to the point of delivery, do not hesitate to stop back, if you need a bit more input from the forum. Some of us have both a Mac and a PC (Steve Grisetti, for instance), but many more are tasked with X-platform delivery quite often.
    Good luck, and happy editing,

  • Spry 1.6 for commercial use

    Hi, Can I use the Spry 1.6 prerelease for commercial use?
    Spry seems like
    The BSD
    license.
    However,
    the adobe labs
    license claims
    quote:
    IF THE SOFTWARE IS A PRE-RELEASE VERSION, then,
    notwithstanding anything to the contrary included within a license
    agreement accompanying the software, you are not permitted to use
    or otherwise rely on the software for any commercial or production
    purpose.
    Does that means you cannot use Spry 1.6 for commercial use?
    If so, can I get the non-prerelease older version (1.5 etc) from
    somewhere?

    Hi,
    That is a little confusing.
    We have been distributing Spry under the BSD license, meaning
    to allow users to use the files as they please, commercial or
    otherwise.
    This is how it has been since the first version.
    I can look into the disparity between these licenses but i
    think you can feel assured that it is ok to use Spry for commercial
    apps. Many people do so already.
    The Spry team thinks of 'pre-release' as: "There is a small
    chance that we might change functionality, due to bugs or better
    implementation" but we are pretty stable now and the core ideas of
    Spry are pretty solid.
    Hope this helps,

  • Using system fonts for commercial printing?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know the licensing rights/usage for using system fonts for commercial printing? If I understand correctly, system fonts that comes from operating system CAN be use because Apple purchase the rights on them and end users that purchase OS can use these fonts freely as long as not we are not redistributing them for profit, etc.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction with official documentation on the subject?
    Thanks!

    Never mind, I found the answer. It's in Apple's OS EULA.
    "E. Fonts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you may use the fonts included
    with the Apple Software to display and print content while running the Apple Software; however,
    you may only embed fonts in content if that is permitted by the embedding restrictions
    accompanying the font in question. These embedding restrictions can be found in the Font
    Book/Preview/Show Font Info panel."

  • Fonts and commercial use

    Not sure why it is so difficult to get a clear-cut answer on whether the fonts that come with a mac purchase are free for commerical use.
    Anyone have a link to a sure-fire answer? Thanks in advance.

    Hi Kurt,
    I know this is an old article but I've been looking for an answer to my question and I think you can help me.
    I do a lot of commercial work for clients who print t shirts. I want to use apple installed fonts (optima) to create a piece of art for my client.
    The end product would be an outline/manipulated version of Optima having used Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator. Do I need to purchase the Optima font from someone else for this use or am I ok to use the installed font in this type of use? I've looked everywhere online and can't find a specific answer in this regard. It seems as though the big deal is in redistributing the fonts and embedding. Something I don't even have to worry about.
    Thanks in advance,
    Oskar

  • If I use a web font in my website can I use the same font for printed materials such as business car

    I am a graphic designer intending to design a portfolio website in Adobe Muse. I plan to use TypeKit web fonts to design my website. Upon completioin of the website I intend to design business cards and my resume to match the look of my website. I would like to use the same fonts as I used on the website. Is it possible to use web fonts for printing purposes? If not, what do people typically do in this situation. The last thing I want to do is use a font that "looks" like the ones used on my website.

    Hi redsoxfan15b,
    (I think I may have replied to your Typekit Support ticket earlier today, but I will post the same information here to be certain.)
    We have recently added a new feature to Typekit that allows you to sync fonts to your desktop and use them in print design. The announcement on our website has more information:
    http://blog.typekit.com/2014/01/16/the-fonts-you-love-from-typekit-now-on-your-desktop/
    Font sync is available on any Typekit Portfolio, Performance, or Business plan.  Here is a list of all the font available for desktop use:
    https://typekit.com/fonts?licenses=desktop
    We are continuing to license more of the library for desktop use, but for now you should confirm that the font you would like to use it available for both web and desktop.  And if there is a font you'd like to use that isn't available for desktop sync, you may also be able to purchase a license directly from the foundry.
    I hope that this helps; let me know if you have any other questions!  Best,
    -- liz

  • Use of Apple System Voice for commercial purposes.

    I apologise if this is posted in the wrong category (I could see no other alternative however).
    My question is:
    I'd like to be able to make use of Apple's In-Built Voices for both web content and e-book use (recording samples of phrases and including them with their corresponding written content; I would not be selling the voices as part of a software package -not that I would even know how to).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, or perhaps a point in the right direction to 'free-for-commercial-use' voices elsewhere online as I've had a hard time finding anything, and when I do the terms and conditions seem incomprehensible to me.
    Many thanks for your time, Matthew.

    Curious question...
    If, say, I were to create a smash record that sold a few million copies using just the tools in Garage Band, would that be considered legal?
    How is the sample of a voice different from the sample of a drum? Aren't they both tools for an artist to use?
    Since I work in the Advertising production business, I can see the day when voice modeling takes the place of real voices, much like samples of instruments have taken the place of real instruments...
    I'm no attorney, but I'd bet you could argue a good case that using the voices for commercial purposes would be legal.... that is, if it isn't legal.
