They do offer and extended license if you're going to produce something that's resold (a shirt or a mug or something). But you should be fine with the basic license. Be careful using anything off Flickr, creative commons or not. If you used an image from there containing a person and there is no model release, you could be sued. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20896643/ iStock doesn’t offer Rights Managed images, so that’s not an issue.

The pictures that you purchased were either "Rights Managed" or "Royalty Free". The "Royalty Free" images can be used anywhere you would like, and the "Rights Managed" images can only be used where you specify, at purchase, where you will use them. If you need to, you can even go back to istockphoto.com and check to see what kind of licensing each image has, if you know where the images are located on the iStock website.
