Make sure to read the license, it is actually very restrictive.

keypoints:

You may install the Images on an unlimited number of computers; provided that all such computers are physically located at your place of business located at a single specific street address (or its equivalent). You may use and access the Images only at that one location and only as follows: You may use, copy and modify the Images in the creation and presentation of videogames, animations and renderings; provided that you may neither: (a) separately publish, market, distribute, transfer, sell or sublicense all or any part of the Images except in derivative form from which the original, or a substantially similar version of the original Image can be extracted; (b) output the Images to a print format other than for collateral materials (such as sales literature and illustrations) which support your primary electronic use of the Images. Subject to the foregoing limitations, and the rights, you may copy and distribute your animations and renderings incorporating the Images.

*gets a headache*

and most importantly:

You may use the Images for incorporation in a single product or production, or for visualization purposes within a single project of duration not more than three years.

*wtf?*

This last part kinda ruins the potential of using this for anything practical,
once you've used a texture you can not use it again basically. erm...
