rights-managed
Per-use image licensing
Rights-managed describes a licensing model for creative content—typically photographs, illustrations, or video footage—where usage fees vary based on how the content will be used.
Factors like print run, geographic distribution, duration, and exclusivity determine the price: The agency quoted different rates for rights-managed versus royalty-free images.
The model gives licensors more control but requires buyers to specify intended use upfront.
